physics majors when they’re asked to apply their knowledge (they’ve never been outside of the lab)
They can design the chicken coop, but only for spherical chickens in a vacuum.
If you ask a scientist what pi is, they will tell you it equals 3.14159. If you ask a mathematician, they will tell you pi equals the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. If you ask an engineer, they will say “about 3, but let’s round it up to 5 to be safe.”
I’d replace scientist to something more precise like physicist because usually people consider mathematicians as scientists even if it depends on definitions.

Yikes!
… Wait, does this mean I can call a historian an artist? Then I’m game.
Historians are scientists imo. Is that a reference I don’t have?
Usually (in my experience?) history is one of the ‘humanities’, which are more lumped with arts than sciences.
You can call them whatever you want, what are they going to do? They’re historians!
In twenty years time they’ll rip into me on r/askhistorians
As someone with a degree in physics who ended up in an engineering role, I approve of this meme.
Fr, what can you do with a physics degree except teach people physics
Applied physics is a thing. Lots of jobs there. Geophysics, biophysics, engineering physics (yes, that’s a thing…)
I’m sure you didn’t mean it, but given the dearth of women in engineering, there’s an interpretation of this meme that’s kinda sexist.
I’m literally a woman in STEM lmao.
Like I said, I don’t think you meant it.
Independent of who you are the meme could be read in a certain way.
- You could replace either character and the meme would still work. Sometimes, things are just a joke.
- I’m not responsible for bigots who misinterpret things based on their own biases.
- Woke scolding only divides people who should be allies instead of addressing those who are the problem (see 2).
“Woke scolding”
If you think this doesn’t exist then you haven’t spent enough time differentiating Marxism from liberal identity politics.
so glad you were here to explain to me the error of my ways, whatever would i do without your enlightened understanding of marxism🙄
if you think people complaining about “woke scolds” aren’t 99% conservatives then idk what to tell you dog, particularly in the context of “actually being concerned about social issues pushes people into reaction!”
What’s the first indicator a scientist tried to build their own experiment using the soldering station ?
The smell of burnt fingers.
What’s the scientist waiting for sitting in front of their own experiment ?
Waiting for the infinite loop they coded to finish after they claimed they didn’t need the engineer’s help to write the code in their experiment.
How many scientists do you need to change a light bulb ?
Theoretically just one, but it can take several until one of them can call an engineer and admit they only know how to change light bulbs theoretically.
What does a scientist call an electrolytic capacitor ?
Acid distribution subsystem.
