Successfully combining principles of science and mathematics—as well as creativity, among other things—to solve certain problems is not something every one of us can do. But engineers have pushed their limits of greatness time and again by completing even the most complex of tasks.

Not only are these great minds capable of doing wonderful things at work, they use brain power elsewhere as well; coming up with science-based jokes, for instance, which, thanks to the internet, we all get to enjoy. Today we’ve listed some great examples of that, shared by the ‘Wonderful Engineering’ Facebook page, so scroll down to find them and enjoy the hearty giggle.

In order to better understand what determines people’s inclination towards a certain type of humor, Bored Panda has reached out to psychologist and former lecturer at the University of New South Wales, Bruce Wilson, Ph.D., who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions. Scroll down to find his thoughts in the text below.

HP and all other printers nowadays have tech that stops it from working, whether it be locked to acct or ink cartridge chips not being allowed by the system. Problem is people like me and the guy who printed this can fix anything. If it's locked I can fix that too. If you want something that lasts forever, use a dot matrix printer, just need to squeeze permanent marker onto the inks felt wheel.

    Even though you don’t necessarily have to be an engineer to get a kick out of engineering-based memes, one of the reasons they might find them particularly amusing is because they can relate to the situations such memes depict. 

    When discussing what affects our preference for a certain type of humor, psychologist and former lecturer at the University of New South Wales, Bruce Wilson, Ph.D., suggested that such inclination is usually determined by identification.

    “When we can identify with a particular type of humor it becomes personalized and makes perfect sense to us. This is why most comedians self-deprecate during their stand-up routines; they realize the value of identifying with the humor of the moment.”

    “Humor also demonstrates awareness,” Wilson added. “When we understand the hidden message we demonstrate our intelligence and our emotional diversity.”

    He suggested that jokes make us more psychodiverse, which is healthier than being stuck in a constant state of seriousness. “Life has become very serious and we need the release of humor to balance our lives.”

    But it’s not only complex, multilayered humor that can help ease the state of seriousness we live in; some straightforward jokes can be equally—if not more—amusing as well (including all sorts of engineering-based puns).

    “The fusion of opposites attracts people to the funny side of anything. We seem as a species to enjoy the idea that nonsense is funny. Even slapstick humor of the last century is a form of the same idea, a fusion of opposites,” the psychologist explained.

    I'm still waiting for a streaming service to offer just one channel. For example, I subscribed to youtube tv just to watch ABC news in the evening and they kept upping the price until it was $73/mo and I cancelled it. All I want is one channel. And there's a free ABC app, but you have to watch it live, you can't play the 6pm news at 7, which is really inconvenient. Why are we still dealing with this inefficiency?

    In a piece for Psychology Today, Bruce Wilson pointed out that, “the human brain is believed to have intrinsic constraints as part of a general intelligence of context. This allows the brain to filter through all the possibilities and make connections through a synthesis of analyses, a cognitive synergy.”

    He added that human cognitive synergy stands alone when it comes to creating humor out of nonsense, and suggested that a sense of humor is based on perception of what people find funny, which differs with each individual.

    Not really. Instead of using bolt cutters on a single lock, you just cut those two thin pieces of metal the lower locks are attached to (which are probably way easier to cut than a lock) and slide out the pin. All this really does is make it harder for someone who should have access to get in.

    Because if you do that then if one person loses their key you have to replace the lock and issue 6 new keys to 6 different individuals. This way if one person loses their key you only have to replace the lock and issue one key.

    But this setup isn't for securing Ft Knox. You mostly see it in a situation where several individuals or families share access to a piece of property. Like gated access to shared pasture land or a private road. This way allows access and if one person leaves, or loses their key, no one else has to get new keys. No one's really worried about someone cutting a lock and stealing a pasture.

    Took me a while too for those two: they’re attached to a plate that goes *through* the thin metal rod, with another lock attached above the thin rod. If you unlock the bottom one you can slide the plate together with the top lock out of the thin metal rod, and then slide that rod out of the big metal rod.

    Despite humor perception differing from person to person, it is arguably safe to assume that people who have a lot in common—who work in the same field, for instance, or receive similar education—might enjoy similar jokes as well. That could explain why quite a few engineers often appreciate humor of the same kind.

    Zippia revealed that there are nearly 230 thousand engineers employed in the US alone. In the meantime, the ‘Wonderful Engineering’ Facebook group has amassed over 4.3 million followers globally, from experts in the field to non-professionals interested in all-things-engineering.

    Somewhat related: for anyone interested in this sort of thing, I recommend a book called “Everything in its place: The curious history of alphabetic order”. I picked it up on a whim and it was fascinating. We’re so used to alphabetical order that it feels natural and fundamental but it’s actually a very recent invention, particularly absolute alphabetical order, which is what we use now, where every letter is considered in sequence.

    I went down the rabbit hole on this a while back. While using regular language and conversation with your infant (caveat: infant) you can help them develop their language and communication skills at 2 to 3 times that of average. However, if you also use baby talk with them, which typically comes with emotional gestures, you can help them develop their emotional intelligence. One of the examples that was used was the fictional character “Leonard“ from the big bang theory. He’s an excellent example of an adult who never had baby talk, but was inundated with adult examples of language and behaviors. He has the emotional development of a lizard. Yet he’s very loquacious and intelligent. It’s great to want your child to have communication skills and intelligence, but what’s the good when they can’t maintain healthy interpersonal relationships? So, why not do both and do your best to assure both?

    To be fair, I use complete sentences when talking to the dogs, and it's amazing what they start to pick up. Obviously they aren't learning the *meanings* of the individual words; they're dogs, but it's still cool when the dog drops a ball too far away and you say "I can't reach that" so they move it closer.

    Sort of. "New" math involves teaching kids there's more than one way to get to an answer. This is great because guess what--there's more than one way to get to an answer, and some people do it differently. I did similar stuff like this meme, but was told it was the wrong way. So, I felt like I was bad at math and I hated it. Although I don't always understand the different ways my kids are learning how to math, I do appreciate that it isn't just one way, or just memorize it. It also helps kids see the building blocks of how to do calculations. Although in earlier grades it might seem excessive, as the kids get older and the calculations get harder, they remember those broken-down steps and are able to work through the problems more easily.

    Language evolves. Water, frozen into a portion small enough to be used to cool a drink, is an “ice cube”. (Another way to think about it, even the old fashioned “ice cubes” were not equal on all sides.)

    I have noticed that ice cube trays really don't make cubes anymore. Cuz the cube is the same on all sides. Rectangular ones are not. And butterflies definitely are just something else.

    Unlimited plans will slow you down when you hit the cap, most of your plan is 5g they drop to 3g. Some companies cut off the data, which could be counted as false advertising if you reached the cap and got cut off, or if network ever went down it's not so "unlimited" either

    We had that problem when we switched carriers for an unlimited plan. Come to find out we live in a 3 block radius that due to some unknown reason, absolutely no carrier is allowed to offer unlimited. We went back after day 3 when we started getting notifications and fees. As soon as that other tech saw our address she knew the problem right away. Why only one tech knew, and their system didn't, we don't know. Luckily 6g doesn't apply to whatever rule says we aren't allowed unlimited. 🤷‍♀️

    This is what made me quit my first ADSL ISP. When I signed up the said "Unlimited", then they changed it to "unlimited but with reasonable use". When asked what "reasonable use" constituted they ummed and ahhed, but finally admitted "3GB a month". I ended up going to a different ISP that also offered 3GB a month but at least they were honest about it up front. On a different note: it's hard to believe 3GB a month was a lot when I recently installed Diablo IV over the net and it was something like 80GB by itself...

    Ahhhh yes! My dad was a lefty (born 1942) and while he was allowed to write left-handed, he was forced to learn to do almost everything else right-handed. He worked for IBM in the 80s and learned to use a mouse right-handed. I'm left-handed as well, but I ALSO use my mouse right-handed, as he is the one who taught me how to use a computer XD I'm full lefty for everything else, though! XD

    Many years ago I was stopping with a family and had a summer job in a hotel. One morning, the mother woke me up with a cup of tea, then told me she had heard on the radio that a nuclear weapon was about to be fired at us (it was a test, she had misheard). We looked at each other trying to work out what to do. I decided I had better go to work as everyone was going to need a cup of tea today. Looking back, I'm a bit miffed with my mind that when I thought it was the last day on earth this was where my brain went.

    It's a stupid solution because it obviously didn't happen and anyone that would believe this story, esp people with an IT background have to be the most gullible folks on the planet. It's exactly like me being like "hey I totally believed my coworker (for some strange reason) when he/she told me an end user was having an issue with their Internet but it was okay because they found a goblin inside their cpu and removed it. Then everything was fine." It makes no sense and no reasonable person, under any circumstances, would be able to do the mental gymnastics to get to a place where everything about this story makes sense. "Streetlight was causing WiFi issues" okay how? No explanation? Oh right, cuz it didn't happen (OBVIOUSLY) - end user discharges a firearm at a public utility and admits it on record but somehow isn't arrested? HOW? Oh right, cuz it didn't happen (obviously). I really hope their coworker comes up with at least believable made up stories in their IT boredom someday...

After about the 20th person, I just started telling people, Write down your log in credentials and your name and phone number, when I'm finished I'll call you and let you know your new computer is ready. Like what does it matter... there is nothing I could do nefariously anyway. not like I'm going to be somehow inconspicuously walking around a diesel plant.

    I worked in a lab once too. Wash the glass, wrap the glass, autoclave the glass, unwrap the glass test the glass - do an actual test, then repeat. Then I got a job as a teacher, most of my time spent preparing and marking and creating tracking and so on. At least in the lab, you are actually paid while you do all the things necessary to do the actual job.

    "Affect" is commonly used as a verb, meaning to influence or produce a change. "Effect" is primarily used as a noun, representing the result or consequence of an action.

    Just remember the MeSH (Medical Subject Heading, used to index Medline, a database of medical literature; see pubmed.gov) sub-heading /ae, Adverse Effects. Effect is clearly a noun, so affect must be the verb. Piece of cake. Well, if you're a medical librarian.

    I think the problem is that "if you don't" isn't correct English when the first phrase is "will be there". It has to be either the second phrase as "if you aren't (there)" or else change the first to "I will arrive". Then it's clearer.

    Ah. Measure her head (measuring unit 1 IPhone, of course) and multiply by eight, this will give you the accurate height. You do not need to bother with guestimating the angle of slouch based on the position of the arm...assuming that she is doing the traditional "I have no chin"pout they should even out. Yes, I draw people.

    What was cause of fire? I don't think a car that expensive & formerly used as racecars would randomly overheat bc engineering is meant to.withstand extreme.stress of overheating that occurs in a race.
