It depends on which type of physicist. If they are a particle physicist 3cm is a whole lot
As a microbiologist, 3 cm is like the next county over. The particle physicist gets to add a few orders of magnitude to that.

Electrical engineer: fuck it make the wire thicker I'm not checking voltage drop again.
Literally!
That's the kind of reaction almost every kind of engineer would have. But also, some sympathy for the rocket people that can't afford to make measurements irrelevant.
I feel seen
Or "Fuck it, I bet there's enough slack in there that I can pull it out a few more centimeters, I just have to pull really hard."

That's what she said
Nooooo that's why you have the new guys go get the wire stretcher
if that fails, the wire glue, to glue a new length on.
I mean to be fair, solder, and some heat shrink (and copious amounts of tape) have legitamately extended wires for me haha. I do like the idea of sending greenies off to find the wire glue though ;).
Oh i've done some things also.
My friend, looking up: "That sure is an interesting place for a junction box."
Me: "It was that or the next owners will get a horizontally mounted ceiling fan."

Men trying to find the clitoris: 😩
Right in the belly button
Uhh, that's either a really low belly button or exceptionally high clitoris.
I snorted out my milk. Fuck both of y'all.
I thought it was near the right butt cheek
It's actually right at the entrance to the butt hole

Omg I choked on some toothpaste. Thanks. Have your up vote.
What a perfect reply.
Just upvote.
This one was more. I get it's the hackneyed ass response. But they had to know how good it was.
Thank you! Don’t believe the “haters”, it’s nice to get a positive comment. I was very proud of joke, and was honestly surprised nobody beat me to it first.
They know how good it was because it has lots of upvotes.
Al Roker was the weatherman in New York City, and three years ago we had a blizzard. We were supposed to have, according to Al, 4 to 12 inches of snow. That's his prediction. We had 36 inches. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he was two feet off. THAT'S NOT EVEN IN THE BALLPARK! If you were a roofer and you built a roof and it was two feet off, you'd still be in prison.

Unless it was the prison roof that you built.
Man I hate how AI and non-serif fonts have ruined my reading of so many things.

Monday: "It will rain on Saturday and Sunday." (Makes no outdoor plans for the weekend)
Wednesday: "It might rain on Saturday, it will rain on Sunday." (Still no outdoor plans)
Friday: "It will rain on Monday and Tuesday." (Too late to make outdoor plans)
Doesn't rain for the entire month.
Gotta rely on old people and their bum knees to predict the weather.
I broke my foot and didn’t get medical care like 3 years ago, and now it lets me know.
Or you learn to smell it and feel it. But it's not good for distant weather and the earlier you feel it the worse it'll be. It's a common skill in places with stupid amounts of weather like the American Midwest.
I’m pretty sure enough of these moments is why we now have absolutely catastrophic weather forecasts every other week but they usually aren’t so bad
No, it's because Trump cut off access to data from weather satellites.
While I love Black and the routine, I always am baffled when people complain about the weather reports getting it wrong.
For the last million years of human society, the only predictor we had for weather was passed-down stories and signs in the sky to indicate changing seasons. We knew it gets cold in winter, but we had no idea when exactly the first snowfall would be, or if there would be a blizzard that would kill half the tribe.
Today we get very accurate predictions up to a week in advance when actual storm systems are approaching because we have god-like eyes in space that can see the goddamn clouds FROM ABOVE.
We are Gods incarnate, we can see into the future with magic in space. If the storm dumps more rain than expected, wow great... nature still is complicated, you still knew a storm was coming!
That spiel is funnier if you also read it in Lewis Black's tone.
To be fair, weather predictions have gotten much more accurate in the past 20 years or so (however, whether that stays true now that things like the National Weather Service and NOAA have been defunded remains to be seen).
