sometimes i ask a question that's answered in the book like right after the place we're at and i worry that the other students will think that i just got it from there
You forgot exam scores, especially when you're trying to deduce the others. "Hey how was the test?" "Oh I did pretty well, what about you" "Well I did well but I made some mistakes but I think it's fine, what did you get" "Oh I did pretty bad, probably got like half the exam wrong, you know, did pretty poorly, PRAYING for that curve" "Yeah i didn't study at all and honestly got fucked the entire way through, probably lucky to get a 10%" "yeah i actually showed up for the wrong exam, i'm not even a physics major i just took it because I was there and honestly had no idea what i was doing" "ok lets reveal scores at the same time" "1,2,3" *both get 100s*
So accurate haha, especially the homework length one. Should do one for PhD students - my first paper got accepted with minor revisions on Friday and I've been flexing hard ever since. Like I did just now.
When others read and try to understand the section a day before the class looks at it--it makes me feel like they are so smart. I guess the "read ahead" type is another flex.
"I guess the 'read ahead' type is another flex" Definitely can be a flex, although, the older I've gotten, the more I think this shouldn't be the case. Reading ahead is a great way to improve your own understanding with minimal effort. Reading ahead makes class content that much more engaging for you, because then you can use class as your second interaction with material, and can be better prepared with an understanding of where confusion might lie for you so that you can get your questions answered early, rather than, say, the week before the test (me). I'm mad at myself for *not* being that type when I was in school.
Of course, but you have to do it in an offhand manner. For example, mention it in passing while pointing out an error in the book, or the professor made, to wit: "professor, yeah, last week when I was reading the chapter...."
Mentioning the delta function in the presence of a mathematician. "It was like a delta function right to my foot." -"It's a distribution not a function" "Yeah i know i just--" -"Then why did you call it a function?That's just misleading." "Well I--" -"Do you even know about the the Schwartz space?" "The what?"
What about the "I passed the test with a day of preparation." "Well, I passed this other test by only preparing in the morning on the day of the exam." "Well, I prepared for this presentation by just foregoing sleep yesterday night."
Also, for some courses, shorter is better. For instance, in Electromagnetism, if you need to calculate the force exerted by the electric field of a spherically-symmetric charge distribution, you use Gauss' law to save space, rather than Coulomb. Basically, the entirety of Electrodynamics is one big exercise in "How do I get the CORRECT result using the LEAST amount of work?"
Haha this is so accurate, I’ve met a few physics undergrads and all they do is bicker about everything. Seriously though, massive respect to all physics students and graduates out there; all of you are bloody clever.

Not gonna lie, I was flexing really hard when I started writing my lab reports on LaTeX 🤣. Too bad our lab professor never read them. All he did was give EVERYONE a 100% on every lab report we turned in. My lab partner forgot to include his data and results in his lab but still got the same grade as me 😭

I was electrical engineering not physics but I saw the "Well actually" kind of flex the most. Where you involve material someone probably hasn't been exposed to for no real reason. Well actually the Reynolds number is just a simplification, but I guess it doesn't matter for where you're at. Well actually that electrodynamics problem would be an elliptic integral for any point off axis but don't worry about that. Well actually you should be using a z-transform not a Laplace transform since your lab equipment is discrete not continuous but I guess you haven't gotten to that yet. Basically bringing up a more complex version of the problem, just to flex that you know it exists. There's also the flex of how little sleep you got which I think is ubiquitous.
"There's also the flex of how little sleep you got which I think is ubiquitous." I have this new thing since I've gotten to junior year where I piss myself from stress, especially during tests, so yeah that's going to be awkward once we're back from quarantine.

Jeez Andrew this entire year I've been convincing myself that studying engineering next year at uni is the best option and after watching your videos I'm back to square one 😂
"correcting the professor" is something I remember well, but you left out something: "Correcting the book." :) Also there's the: "asking an obscure question (based on current cutting edge research) to a visiting lecturer." Also, there's the "Turning in your homework/finishing a lab (with report) ahead of everyone else (while casually mentioning it in an offhand manner." :)
Since you mentioned correcting books, fuck Pearson. I spent half my freshman year uncovering embarrassing errors in an Introductory Chemistry textbook and its online resources in which all the thermodynamics were wrong. Luckily Pearson's resources haven't been used in the university for the past six years. Also there's another flex missing: testing soon to be published textbooks made by your professors... and correcting them.
@@TuntematonX Pearson make some alevel textbooks over here too (they own an exam board) and the maths/further maths one at least are littered with annoying errors. The amount of times a derivation or proof doesn't make sense, or the answer doesn't add up just to find out it's a mistake. The worst is when they give Answers to questions that are just wrong. It can be ages until you realise and check in some software or something.

I got so early this video has still not experienced baryogenesis
I liked this but i don't know what it means
Haha
That is hands down, the best segway to a sponsorship I’ve ever seen
"In the moment, I knew the class needed me"
Used to watch these videos in hs... now a third year in physics and these jokes make a lot more sense lol
I beg your pardon sir you have executed the most brilliant segue I've ever had the privilege of witnessing
lmao the latex thing is straight facts
and the internship part is faaacts
5:17 that might have been one of the best add transitions i've ever seen lol

0:44 To avoid the figures going all over the place in Latex use a [H] and force Latex in its place.

Jeez Andrew this entire year I've been convincing myself that studying engineering next year at uni is the best option and after watching your videos I'm back to square one 😂
Nice to hear about the chronikers of the delta function... 2:10
I was watching this with my friends on tv.when you said I did mine on LaTex, we were like "My Man!!!!"
Man I feel like physics changes you as a person, mentally !!!
"correcting the professor" is something I remember well, but you left out something: "Correcting the book."
:)
Also there's the: "asking an obscure question (based on current cutting edge research) to a visiting lecturer."
Also, there's the "Turning in your homework/finishing a lab (with report) ahead of everyone else (while casually mentioning it in an offhand manner."
:)
hahahsha
Since you mentioned correcting books, fuck Pearson. I spent half my freshman year uncovering embarrassing errors in an Introductory Chemistry textbook and its online resources in which all the thermodynamics were wrong. Luckily Pearson's resources haven't been used in the university for the past six years.
Also there's another flex missing: testing soon to be published textbooks made by your professors... and correcting them.
@@TuntematonX Pearson make some alevel textbooks over here too (they own an exam board) and the maths/further maths one at least are littered with annoying errors. The amount of times a derivation or proof doesn't make sense, or the answer doesn't add up just to find out it's a mistake. The worst is when they give Answers to questions that are just wrong. It can be ages until you realise and check in some software or something.
Correcting the assignment question
LaserGuidedLoogie my prof used to call me “the pi police”... wonder why... I was just helping him out :))
Dat sponsor transition was so sneaky I didn't actually see it coming during my confusion.
"I don't even see a delta function" 😂 3:51
I love these videos. They're very reminiscent of old-school UA-cam comedy videos. Good job.
LaTeX documents are a piece of art. Word is garbage in comparison (*insert puking expression*).
Glad you got a sponsor!!! Great video, as always :)
I’d say that’s a good segway
We really need some Griffy's "yo wat da *Fuck* " in some of these videos.
Bio major flex: "I was drunk for my entire junior year so I only got a B+ in all my upper div classes"
That gag reflex on seeing the homework typed in Word is soooooooooo true! Laughed at it for like 5 mins non-stop XD
Laughing so hard at how accurate this is 😂 pretty sure I’ve met every single of these people in my life 😂
Should do the US vs European style video, the face I made when I realised you had to do homework in the US after 3 years in the UK system was just like 'are you serious' 😂
@@EJ-zd2gh What! Now you have me curious about what you mean. I'd definitely be interested in this. Maybe Papa Flammy (FlammableMaths) has a physicist he could have Andrew collaborate with - or he could possibly have insight into this himself. I wonder how much things differ between the UK and Germany, too...
@@mrahzzz Yeah there are a lot of small differences you don't see at the surface, 3 years for batch, not going in undeclared, lectures mostly consisting of people on your degree, the professor title only being used for full professors are just a few I can think off the top of my head. I had the biggest physics culture shock when I transitioned 😂
Oh and core classes are not a thing, that's the one I just didn't get like, why, why if I am doing a physics degree, do I have to take like English 101, like why??
@@EJ-zd2gh
Thanks for the reply - this is really interesting to hear about!
"like, why, why if I am doing a physics degree, do I have to take like English 101, like why??"
Heh. I think a lot of US university students would agree with you on this one.
"this is bad, that's a Segway"-
That was, ironically enough, the best segway I've ever seen.
The "It's a distribution" killed me
"it's not a confidence thing.. in the moment I just felt that the class needed me"
“A pendulum is just a swinging delta function” 😂😂 underrated joke!
Love how all of these are 100% accurate XD
Laughed very hard at the hand-written homework guy. Lmao!!!
Correcting the professor this part was amazing 😂😂 I also did it manya times during my physics class.It requires a lot of courage and confidence because you got your whole class with you.After all the confidence if your right then it gives another level of proudness and confidence
I feel so identified on the one of memorizing book pages... Oh god
You had me at "OH! Is this -- *gags* -- is this Word??" Hahahaha xD Guilty as charged!!
You forgot who can make fun of engineers better.
Moving code from one programming language to another is literally my job right now. This hit deep.
Yeey! I've learnt about the Delta function 😂😃😃 *flex*
Two great things he did that deserve appreciation
First, just that segue was pretty awesome,not gonna lie
Two, the, "I'm not in a fraternity" one was really funny, lmao.
