biggest flex I ever did was correcting a proffessor, he had mistaken madagascar 2 with madagascar 3 and I was the only one in the class that had watched both.
I sometimes try that, then my friends look into my eyes. A death stare. I still get chills from that moment. But for that term my GPA dropped so no flexing there. :d
It works for other sciences as well... After my bachelor in Biology I did an internship where I literally only took care of some plants... And when I came to my Master admission exam, they didn't even ask me any subject related questions and they were so impressed by me having done an intership.

That's why I'll take a class on measure theory, even though I cannot earn credits for it. But I want to understand what the hell the delta function really is xD

What about the people who read ahead of the class, then deliberately pretend to ask a "good question" that shows their "knowledge" and "critical thinking".
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

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.
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?"
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...."
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.

I liked this but i don't know what it means
Haha
Great video as usual. Another one is: „Oh how did you calculate the matrix elements so fast?“ „Well you know Tensor Notation and covariant Derivatives, I mean, who writes down the whole matrix nowadays ....“
Love your skits man, hilarious!
I love these videos. They're very reminiscent of old-school RUclips comedy videos. Good job.
1 - Always finishing lab first, AND having the most accurate data
2 - Your lab partner is the girl
3 - Writing custom programs in your calculator to do everything for you
4 - Better at various pen flips
5 - Studying later one-upsmanship
Bio major flex: "I was drunk for my entire junior year so I only got a B+ in all my upper div classes"
This is like the best of these videos made yet
Glad you got a sponsor!!! Great video, as always :)
The "It's a distribution" killed me
This makes me feel a lot better about myself 😂😂 there are so many show offs in the physics major who will do anything to flex they are better than you but in reality, everyone is as lost as you are!!!
The bad segue joke took a solid minute of sheer processing then received an actual laugh out loud. Well done. Such an wonderfully executed joke.
Thank you for this great video!!
𝛿(comment-"wow man great video I love distributions too even though I don't get them")
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 😂
It's just a video. It's just a video. It's just a video.
Thanks for bringing back all of those memories... and triggering my fight or flight
Love your work as always
I beg your pardon sir you have executed the most brilliant segue I've ever had the privilege of witnessing
"In the moment, I knew the class needed me"
Love your videos bro. Keep up the physics!
That is hands down, the best segway to a sponsorship I’ve ever seen
I was watching this with my friends on tv.when you said I did mine on LaTex, we were like "My Man!!!!"
I feel so identified on the one of memorizing book pages... Oh god
I love the way you do your sponsorships
I love how he sometimes purposefully stutters, it makes it so much funnier
5:17 that might have been one of the best add transitions i've ever seen lol
“A pendulum is just a swinging delta function” 😂😂 underrated joke!
Another amazing video out by Brother Andrew!!
Dude this is quality content and also so true.
Hey Andrew. I just graduated with a physics degree and am taking a year off before I pursue for PhD. Could you recommend how I could best prepare so I don't lose everything I have learnt ? Love your videos !
If you took good notes, just revisit them from time to time. You'll go over it all again and in more detail in gradschool. Maybe look at the sections you covered and see if you can still solve some of the problems on that section in their respective book.
keep in touch with subject during your break ...revising notes once in a while wud be great
Google physics qualifying exams every so often and try to solve those problems
Put a copy of Griffiths in your pillow case so you absorb and maintain the information while you sleep
@@nestorv7627 That's a great suggestion, thanks !
Very sad that typing your homework in mathematica wasn't a flex
🤮
You can flex on doing presentations on jupyter notebooks otherwise.
a usual flex around my peers is watching every single 3blue1brown video and then bringing up obscure knowledge to explain a cross product
Part 2 please, too relatable
Yeey! I've learnt about the Delta function 😂😃😃 *flex*
Then there is the let's just derive it every time we need to know something type of people.
I love how they know that the textbook is going to be Griffiths and only Griffiths.
Damn, I am learning more about physics from youtube than I ever did in high school. Keep making great content! 😊
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.
I had to scroll for so long before finding something that Andrew didn't like
1:02 That gag reflex and overall skit is so funny, it has made me come back to this video. It makes me laugh randomly as I think about it. It especially hit when I worked on notes for a class I prepared to teach during a fall semester.
Entertaining as always, keep up the good work!
It's honestly sad that iv'e seen almost all of these
Let's be frank here, using a pen is more respectable than using Word for homeworks.
especially a fountain pen. fountain pens are stupid fancy
Loved the video! You're really funny
The biggest flex I ever witnessed while majoring in physics at UCBerkeley* was the guy who would waltz into a 3 hour final with an hour left, sloooowwwwly peel and orange while reading it over, and then warp the curve beyond recognition. _*flex_
