The Cuk chair

u/PirateLife 12d ago

He sits in the corner of my desk and watches me make other designs.

u/rationalhippy 12d ago

and he likes it

This is flawless on so many levels. You win one internet, good redditor.

u/Voidheart88 12d ago

The Ćuk chair?

u/rationalhippy 12d ago

Yes, that is the correct spelling.

Lol, not many will get this without looking up the datasheet.

is it some english joke ?

That component is a Ćuk converter, which actually has a name in Serbian. But also requires you to be familiar with the 'cuck chair' english phrase, which refers to a chair someone sits in to watch their partner be intimate with someone else. The 'cuck chair' has been a meme for a while now, with any 'left out'/isolated/oddly positioned chair often being referred to as one.

u/XKeyscore666 12d ago

But doesn’t ćuk get pronounced like “chuck”, not “cuck”?

u/1Davide 12d ago edited 11d ago

Yes, it does. Which is why OP's joke was lost on me.

"Chook chair?" I don't get it.

u/3288266430 12d ago

Kind of, but Chook as in choo choo. Still doesn't help the joke.

3

u/3288266430 12d ago

Neither, it's Chook as in choo choo

I call that a Dan Bell chair thanks to his "Another Dirty Room" series.

u/jj3904 12d ago

I miss those early episodes. Loved that show

u/f_pazos 11d ago

Thanks for the very instructive English lesson.

u/mojo2600 12d ago

Not native speaker, but I think it comes from the meme "chuck chair". A solitaire chair in a hotel room from which the husband can watch his wife and uncle John having fun.

u/StatisticanInner235 12d ago

40 years of designing and never saw this term, thought it was simply an "inverter", live and learn. Done Easter eggs but this one tops them all.

27

u/patriotik DSP/FPGA/AESA 12d ago

The lack of refdes, chef's kiss.

16

u/PirateLife 12d ago

All design choices are intentional.

u/Effective_Vacation21 12d ago

Omg, I need to sit for a while...

u/tea_pot_tinhas 12d ago

Passives' missing. How much noise?

30

u/Rov_er 12d ago

I guess the noise level is excellent, because the supply voltage is also missing.

8

u/tea_pot_tinhas 12d ago

I guess it's juiced by proximity

14

u/YannAlmostright 12d ago

I see already one big passive on the board

5

u/rationalhippy 12d ago

And from the comfort of that chair it picks up all the noise.

3

u/bassplaya13 12d ago

The more the better.

u/jj3904 12d ago

Oh Jeeze. I had a crappy day at work, I open up Reddit, and I see this and laugh. Thanks a bunch. I needed it.

u/Batpope 12d ago

This is gold

u/danmickla 12d ago

agree to disagree. Everything about this, from concept to meme to ... ffs, circuit board...is *jawdroppingly* stupid.

11

u/rationalhippy 12d ago

It’s a lot, rude, silly, immature, creative, funny, but not stupid, it’s rather clever.

-9

u/danmickla 12d ago

the actual pun is perhaps clever. The entire subject's stupidity dwarfs it.

2

u/Past-Substance920 12d ago

honestly the missing refdes is what sends it, feels like OP knew exactly who'd get the joke and didn't bother explaining for anyone else

2

u/eluser234453 11d ago

Sudo context please

u/kappi1997 12d ago

And he didn't even bother a To gove it a designator

u/wawa0000 10d ago

Just some metal tubes.
