I grabbed some skittles while I was out to lunch. If you understand this picture, your career options probably include Controls Engineer. Also, you may be on the spectrum.

Google reverse image search (+control engineers understand this) AI response:

QuoteThis image is a clever candy-coated representation of a Bode plot, a fundamental tool used by control engineers to analyze frequency response.
Here is how the Skittles break down the concept:
The Magnitude Plot (Top Half)
The candies on the left represent the Magnitude (Gain).
The Flat Section: Shows a constant gain at lower frequencies.
The Slope: The downward "staircase" represents a -20 dB/decade roll-off, typical of a first-order low-pass filter after reaching its cutoff frequency.
The Phase Plot (Bottom Half)
The candies on the right represent the Phase Shift.
The transition from the top right to the bottom right shows the phase shifting from 0°  toward -90° as frequency increases.
To a control engineer, this is the classic "signature" of a Simple Pole (like an RC circuit). It's a great way to make "stability analysis" look a lot more delicious!

Technically yes, it is correct in it's thoughts. It's a bit further I went in my head. I just like to organize my skittles into 3 skittle bytes that properly distribute color/flavors throughout the bag.

I do controls engineering every day and I thought that was a complicated guitar chord chart

I know absolutely nothing about playing a guitar, but I can see how you would see that. It's funny how each persons brain associates patterns differently.

Skittles, like Oreos, are one of the many foods that are accidentally vegan.  That means there are no animal derived products, but it doesn't mean that they aren't 100% crap.

And %100 of my controls are guitar related in some way

That would be a bitch of a chord.

Agreed but the question is does YoDoug eat the green ones last or not at all!!!  ;D
