Stop Doing Analog Engineering

STOP DOING ANALOG · SIGNALS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CONTINUOUS · YEARS OF ELECTRONICS yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for using anything but a light switch. · Wanted to represent 0.3 anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that, it was called IEEE 754 floating point · "Oh no, my 1 turned into an almost 1" - Statements dreamt up by the utterly Deranged. Look at what electrical engineers have been demanding your respect for all this time, with all the silicon and transistors we built for them GO AHEAD USE KIRCHHOFF'S LAW Scary maths Small bombs Microwave ovens on poles "Could you turn the lights to please?" (They have played us for absolute fools)

The meme sarcastically attacks electrical engineers for supposedly demanding respect despite making technology that is mostly used to turn lights on. It contrasts intimidating electronics concepts, floating-point numbers, and dangerous-looking components with the humble request, "Could you turn the lights to please?" The punchline is that years of advanced engineering are reduced to operating a light switch, while the engineers are portrayed as having fooled everyone.
