4177's Unhinged Charts 2022-23 (Part I)

Well would you look at that; the blog is back online!

A kind thanks to Vivian 25' for re-opening LMF's blog, it is truly an exciting time to have nothing better to do. 

In her last post, Vivian mentioned a somewhat "quirky" and "chaotic" class of 2026, words that I, as a member of said class can only describe as a gross understatement.  For you see dear reader, we are a rowdy, unpredictable bunch, with interests and talents of all shapes and sizes. But rather than describe our class to you, I think I'll show it. 

You see, about halfway through the year, I realized I could write dumb things on the whiteboard in the elevator lounge outside my room, and, better yet, if so inclined, other passers-by would also write on said board. So were born the chaotic charts of 4177. At LMF, we like to draw charts, categorizing our members in a wholesome, community-building activity.


Ratatouille, Fois gras, Paris, Provence, où êtes-vous ?
The charts outside my room, are the same, but uhh... stupider. We began quite simply, ranking... things... on a scale from "Omegalul" to "BIG." It is not the first time the hellish 8.012 would appear, and the characteristic unhinged arrows really add flavor to this and future charts. This chart, originally spawned from a one-off bit with Alfonso 24', grew into a tradition after Tobi 26' and Kailyn 26' expressed their appreciation (upper right).

Featuring a jab at the Mexican national soccer team, the best equation of 18.06, and a correct opinion about the fingering of Bb on clarinet

We continued with a more informative chart, helpfully telling LMF that in terms of self-fulfillment, trebuchets >> 20-2 pineapples (ask Anson 26') >> sleep >> yo mama. To say the least, the lack of trebuchets (and lack of sleep) that endured in the house indicated that this chart was at least a little underappreciated.
Only those with the best taste will understand that Posy #3 > Posy #4

The next chart continued our efforts to aid our house, providing a helpful tier list of breakfast foods. Fun fact: this chart is correct, if you disagree then you are quite simply wrong. Waffles, apples, and tea were, accurately, placed above scrambled eggs, coffee, and hot chocky, and foods from England were, rightfully banished to the bottom of the whiteboard. The chart while popular, continued to be in vain, LMF continued to, on average, wake half an hour before lecture, mozzy over to the communal fridge to consume last night's rice and curry, and sprint to building 10 to catch the last ten minutes of class. Alas and alack, for the breakfast foods we crave are oftentimes skipped by the hosed MIT student.

To clarify, we don't actually hate Britain here. It's just a bit.

Well, that is all for the moment, tune in for next post, featuring five more idiotic charts, and the second half of my slow descent into madness.
Au revoir!
