ENGINEERING MEME THREAD

  • 1.  ENGINEERING MEME THREAD

    Posted 12-06-2021 07:55 AM

    I wanted to start a thread for civil engineering memes!

    Although memes are most frequently used for humor, I think that they can also play a role in helping people relate to each other, and sometimes even be educational.

    Please add *something* to the thread! Even if it's barely a meme. It can be gifs, pictures, whatever. 

    A few ground rules:

    • Like all other threads, please make sure your post is not political or sexual or racist/sexist/anything-ist.
    • Please remember all posts must adhere to the ASCE Collaborate Code of Conduct.
    • Please do not post any material protected by copyright without the permission of the copyright owner.

    Show me what you've got!

    I've become familiar with memes about a lot of things. Maybe something I took part in tossing around could count.

    Hello again,

    I though this was what I posted last week, but here's a library of classic memes. They could all be malleable enough for engineering.
