Multidimensional Engineering

The practice of designing and constructing systems that function across multiple dimensions simultaneously, ensuring that your bridge stands not just in 3D but in 4D (through time), 5D (across probability branches), and up to N-D (wherever). Multidimensional engineers must account for the fact that materials have different properties in different dimensions, loads propagate through dimensional interfaces, and structural failure in one dimension can cascade through others. It's engineering on hard mode, where the building codes haven't been written yet and the inspectors exist in dimensions you can't reach. Despite these challenges, multidimensional engineering has produced some remarkable structures—most of which exist in dimensions we can't see, which is either genius or useless, depending on your perspective.
Multidimensional Engineering *Example: "She was a multidimensional engineer who designed a house that existed in 3D, 4D, and 5D simultaneously. In 3D, it was a modest bungalow. In 4D, it was a time-spanning structure that included its own past and future versions. In 5D, it branched into every possible renovation she might ever consider. The house was theoretically perfect. Practically, she still had a leaky faucet in this dimension, and the plumber couldn't access the 5D branch where it was already fixed."*

Hyperdimensional Engineering

The practice of designing and constructing systems that operate in hyperdimensional realms, where the normal constraints of physics, materials, and reality don't apply. Hyperdimensional engineers don't build structures—they build "existence configurations," patterns that manifest across infinite dimensions, taking forms that no 3D being could comprehend. The challenge is that hyperdimensional engineering has no design principles (they don't apply), no materials (they don't exist), and no quality control (failure is meaningless when everything exists simultaneously). Despite these minor obstacles, hyperdimensional engineering has produced some remarkable "structures"—none of which we can perceive, but all of which are technically perfect, which is either the greatest achievement in engineering history or the biggest nothing-burger ever constructed.
Hyperdimensional Engineering Example: "She was a hyperdimensional engineer who designed a bridge across infinite dimensions. The bridge existed in all possible configurations simultaneously—built, not built, half-built, made of stone, made of light, made of pure mathematics. It was the most ambitious engineering project in history, and also completely useless, since no one could perceive it, access it, or even prove it existed. She considered it her finest work."

Multiverse Engineering

The hypothetical practice of designing and constructing systems that operate across the multiverse—bridges between universes, communication networks across realities, structures that exist in multiple universes simultaneously. Multiverse engineering would require materials that exist in all universes, construction techniques that work across different physical laws, and quality control that ensures a bridge stands in universe A even if it fails in universe B. It's engineering on a scale that dwarfs anything imaginable—inter-universal infrastructure for a civilization that spans realities. Multiverse engineering is pure science fiction today, but so was spaceflight once.
Example: "She dreamed of multiverse engineering, designing a bridge that connected all the universes where she'd made different choices. In one universe, she was a doctor; in another, an artist; in another, a mother. The bridge would let all her selves visit, compare notes, share lives. The engineering was impossible; the dream was not."

Locomotive Engineer

The operator of a diesel train. He manipulates the controller to make the train start and stop in response to the Conductor's direction. He is subservient to the Conductor and a member of a train crew. He is certified in the physical characteristics of his railroad, the operating rules, and train handling, and well-versed in emergency protocols.
The locomotive engineer dumped the train when a bicyclist rode in front of his train in the grade crossing.

Cuck engineer

Basically a vibe coder but instead of a coder it is an engineer.
See that cuck engineer just sitting there pressing the start button on that clanker.

Kiwi engineering

When something breaks so you use the things you found in your garage to fix it.

Examples
1. Black car paint fading or scratched? Use black duct tape.

2. Did you just hit your fender and it's now falling off? Rip tie it on.

3. You don't have a lock for your locker? Use a Bobby pin.
That painting is getting held up by pur kiwi engineering

Software engineers

Uh-oh guys! He's not good enough at life... Guess I gotta control him forever 🤷 ♂️ Aaawww SHUCKS!
Hym "Riiiiiight.... Well ALWAYS need software engineers 😉😉 Right? Cus if the AI can code then they are out of a job because, like... They've been rendered obsolete. Sure. I get it. Yeah, I'll play along. Totally. Yep. We definitely need software engineers! ALWAYS!"
