A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

I didn't understand anything and now I'm horny. Did I do a science?

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 days ago

Horny is biology, which is chemistry, which is physics. You triple scienced.

What you think the girl on the left is doing with her hand is a pretty good litmus test for how fucked up you are

...the Spocker?

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It all makes sense now.

Same artist draws about computer science too btw.

Lisanne_waifu drew TCP as an organized anime girl drinking water normally while UDP as another anime girl waterfalling it very fast at the cost or spilling a bit on her clothes.

I learned so much from this graphic

Dear artists stop creating things that make me want to furiously masturbate

I still don't understand this. But I'm not upset about that fact.

The hydraulic analogy is better (accuracy-wise)

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I absolutely love the the hydraulic analogy, and my advancing age and the 'tism compels me to share a story.

I was a science major and worked as a tutor through college. Intermediate physics was required for all science degrees, so basic electrical theory consistently came up.

What I love about the analogy is it's actually not perfectly analogous, but the differences become obvious once the initial concepts are understood, then those differences help students figure it all out. Its imperfection is actually what makes it perfect, and my nerdy side just loves that kind of stuff.

The students that argued with me the most about how it was a shit analogy were my favorite because they'd so frequently knock it out of the park come exam time. It was like the academic equivalent of hate fucking.

[–] AliSaket@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

And after that analogy is understood, make them understand thermodynamics by using electronic models.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Godsamnit. I had to go look up the hydraulic analogy. I had to learn something you bastard.

I truly am terrible: terribly educational!

/Dad joke

Luckily you didn't bring that dangerous shit back here!

Help me step-volt, I’m stuck!

is this how they teach electricity on Pornhub/rule34.xxx?

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago

What are you doing volt-san!?

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Now I want to see them explaining the fractional hall effect

It's a reference to this image that has been shared in so many different schools around the world:

Current (measured in amperes, or amp) is the flow of charge. emf (volts) is the energy supplied to a circuit per coulomb of charge (coulombs being the unit of charge. Current is coulombs per second). Resistance (measured with ohms) restricts the flow of charge (conductors have low resistivity, insulators are high. Resistance increases with length and decreases with crosd-sectional area)

Ohm's law is V = IR (or, with current isolated, I = V / R)

Damn I’d gotten a A+ or F+ if I was Electrical Engineering courses. Sex not only sells but also educates at a decent amount of topics.

I learned trig from a pornstar sitting on a stool with nothing but flash cards and socks on. Yes her clothes were flash cards yes it was a game, yes I was horny enough to ace my trig exams. No I don’t remember the name of the game, I’m sorry.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm certain a fair number of people have learned some basic chemistry from Dr. Doe...

[–] cheesorist@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

try to remember the sauce for your trig comrades

I'm sure a lot of semiconductors can be explained via "Help, step bro, I am stuck!"

The gif is made from a Low Buck Garage video where he's working on his WW2 era 6x6 truck. The part he's staring at is the hole where the axle slots through the tire and into the differential.

This clip is taken shortly after he attempts to put the rear axle back in and he discovers that the gears in the rear most differential are no longer aligned with the hole, he shortly after this clip describes the process for what it takes to get into the rear most differential and it's an ordeal.

He does come up with a plan though.

If you're into vehicle restoration videos he's got a great channel. He's also got a great sense of humor about the stuff he works on and the processes involved.

Oi! How did you manage to steal this fine artwork from Michael Faraday's secret lab books? They're kept under lock and key at the Royal ~~Society~~ Institution!!

Edit: correction.

Instructions unclear. Currently waiting in ER with a lightbulb up my ass and it's not lighting up!
