 In all of these comics, modern slang terms or just commonly used words are used to describe jobs or ideas, and while the slang or word seems accurate if taken literally, it isn't normally used in that context. A graph theory Ph.D. was labeled an "edgelord", a reference to mathematical graphs having edges, trails of ant pheromones were labeled as "chemtrails", a reference to pheromones being chemicals, and scientific hypotheses were referred to as "fan theories."

 In all three of these comics, a modern slang term or just a commonly used word ("chemtrails" was the case in [[2654]]) is used to describe a job, and while the slang or word seems accurate, it isn't the normally used term for the job. Previously a graph theory PHD was labeled an "edgelord", a reference to how mathematical graphs have edges, but this time a turbine maintenance engineer is called out for doing a lot of fanservice, as in, literally servicing/maintaining a huge fan (with which turbines are often inaccurately conflated).
