Exam period going hard, huh?

I wish I could show this to my father-in-law, but he’s in his 80s, speaks little English, and it would take a long time to even get the meme history built up with him to actually follow the humor. If I could get him to understand the humor, though, he’d probably love it; he taught this for decades at a university.

Just tell him it’s Dadaist. He’ll understand as a German

Be careful—he may understand as a German.

He does have some memories from the War!

Fucking Mohr's circle, dear God.

"Joke" isn't complete without some shear diagrams too.

The "without eigenvectors" being uttered by lunatics is exactly how I felt about some of my professors, so maybe this joke is a little too realistic. 😅

Drawing those Mohr's circles was like doing transmutational alchemy for a homunculus. It was annoying but they looked cool at least.
