Lean into this and always have a lengthy, detailed presentation ready to go at the drop of a hat. Just an absolute knowledge vomit.

They’ll do this once and never again.

Puts lab coat on, smiles wide, uncorks the vials.

I’ve always heard the worst thing about a scientist is that they won’t shut up if you ask them about what’s going on in their field.

In the same vein: Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud.

After a while you realize the pig likes it.

That’s what makes them an engineer: Piling argument upon counterargument to understand the topic, the arguments, their shortcomings and another person’s understanding of the topic vs arguing to be right.

I love engineering because there’s objective right and wrong. Either the machine will work or it won’t; you can’t bullshit physical reality.

For some reason I thought someone had edited this picture and changed the people in it. I was wrong but since I spent so long going thru my archives to find it I thought I’d share

I will not answer further questions about this picture

Leftmost kid has the same expression as the kid from an older meme. Is it the same person?

Pretty sure! He has also been photoshopped into the “boy bites apple meme” which I really love

My brother and I are in the US but different states, and our parents and sister are in the Philippines. During a rare reunion, we recreated several of our old family photos from the '70s and '80s. It was so funny, especially when my 45-year-old brother tried to sit on my mom’s lap.

If that’s your family in the photo, you guys have got to try recreating it as grown-ups. 😁

Yeah, sure! But first: how are your meaningless, unfullfilling bullshit-jobs going, that you’re wasting huge portions of your life on? O no, wait, I couldn’t care less, sorry.

So what, it’s only a meaningful or fulfilling job if it’s in academics?

Nah, but all business majors are parasites that think they’re STEM and not the only useless liberal art.
