Is It A Flying Egg Salad Sandwich?

18 hours ago 19.3K views 0 shares

The classic Superman intro meets 3D modeling software! This meme shows a bird silhouette in what's clearly a 3D modeling environment, complete with those colorful axis indicators that haunt the dreams of every digital artist. It's referencing the iconic "Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Superman!" while showcasing what happens when you're trying to create a simple bird model but get lost in the technical quagmire of 3D space. Those XYZ axes aren't helping anyone determine if this is indeed a flying egg salad sandwich. The struggle of correctly orienting objects in 3D space is the silent nemesis of digital modelers everywhere—where your "bird" suddenly looks like abstract art when viewed from literally any other angle.

Red Is Positive, Brown Is Brown

Engineers looking at servo motor wiring diagrams be like... Yellow is signal, red is positive, and brown is... well... brown! The sheer poetry of technical documentation where they ran out of descriptive words for the ground wire. This is peak engineering communication—when you've spent 8 years getting a degree only to label wires with their literal colors. Next up in the manual: "Water is wet" and "Don't connect these backwards unless you enjoy the smell of burning electronics."

Can't Believe Gravity Is Such A Hypocrite

Gravity's got some explaining to do! This meme hilariously misunderstands buoyancy while comparing it to another scientific misconception. The truth? Helium balloons float because they're less dense than air (buoyancy), not because gravity is playing favorites! And those "dead viruses" don't care if you're walking or sitting - they spread through respiratory droplets regardless of your furniture choices. It's the perfect example of how scientific misunderstandings spread faster than a helium balloon escaping a birthday party. Next thing you know, someone will claim magnets only work on Tuesdays!

Mathematicians really looked at trigonometric functions and said "you know what would make these better? MORE PREFIXES!" The archacovercos function isn't just a mouthful—it's practically a paragraph! This is what happens when math nerds run out of normal letters and start combining prefixes like they're playing some deranged Scrabble game. Next time someone tells you math is elegant, show them this monstrosity that requires five syllables just to pronounce. Whoever invented these clearly got paid by the letter.

Periodic Table Of Deliciousness

Oh, the sweet intersection of chemistry and candy! This chocolate periodic table is giving us elements of deliciousness with a side of science puns. The warning about "lower chocolates making your stomach unstable" is pure genius - those are literally the unstable elements at the bottom of the periodic table that would absolutely wreck your digestive system (and possibly your entire existence). Nothing says "I understand nuclear physics" quite like knowing which chocolate squares might lead to radioactive decay... of your intestines. Next time someone asks why I'm not eating the francium truffle, I'll just point to my still-functioning organs.

Dream Big, But With Accurate Nuclear Physics

Nuclear dreams require nuclear facts. The scientific community has been trying to have a rational conversation about fission energy for decades, but somehow we're still stuck debating whether radiation turns people into superheroes. Spoiler: it doesn't. Just gives you cancer. The real superpower would be getting the general public to understand half-lives and energy density calculations without their eyes glazing over. My grad students can't even do that after four years of tuition.

The Romberg Diagnostic Dilemma

The Romberg test in its natural habitat. Left: normal neurological function. Right: cerebellar dysfunction or three tequila shots at the department holiday party. Medical students memorize this for exams then promptly forget until they're swaying on the subway platform wondering if it's vestibular or just Monday morning.

Mathematicians inventing increasingly absurd ways to write "multiply this number by all smaller positive integers" is peak academic efficiency. First we had n! (factorial), then n!! (double factorial), and apparently someone thought "why stop there?" So now we've got Roman numerals joining the party! Next semester's homework: Calculate 42!^MCMXCIX. Your calculator's already sweating.

Rocket Goes Brrr: Decimal Place Showdown

The sheer audacity of rounding π to a mere 60 decimal places! In aerospace engineering, precision is everything—each additional decimal potentially means the difference between landing on Mars or yeeting your billion-dollar spacecraft into deep space. NASA actually only uses about 15 decimal places for most calculations (3.141592653589793), which gives accuracy within the width of a hydrogen atom over a multi-billion-mile journey. So rounding to 60 places isn't just overkill, it's mathematical showboating of the highest order!

DNA's Dental Betrayal

Biology Evolution Science

Your DNA is literally sitting there with the genetic code for a third set of teeth, smugly saying "I could give you new chompers when those adult teeth wear out... but nah." Evolution really dropped the ball on this one! Meanwhile sharks are swimming around with their conveyor belt of endless teeth, laughing at our dental bills. It's like having a backup generator during a power outage that refuses to turn on because "it doesn't feel like it today." Thanks for nothing, evolutionary development!

Math Textbook's Casual War Crime

Math Academia Science

When math textbooks casually drop a derivative of the delta function like it's no big deal! The left side shows someone smiling confidently ("The") while the right side shows the same person having an existential crisis ("What?") after seeing that cursed equation. For the uninitiated, the delta function is already a mathematical oddity (it's infinitely tall at one point and zero everywhere else), but taking its derivative is like dividing by zero while riding a unicycle on a tightrope. Even seasoned math majors get that "brain.exe has stopped working" feeling when they encounter this monstrosity in their textbooks!

The Hands-On Approach To Calculus

Who needs triple integrals when you've got an axe? While professors drone on about disk methods and shells, real calculus students are out here solving volume problems with pure brute force. "If I split this cube into enough tiny pieces, eventually one of them will give me the right answer!" Nothing says "I understand calculus" like turning a mathematical operation into a woodworking project. Next up: finding derivatives by aggressively drawing tangent lines with a chainsaw.
