👉 Optimus is a funny term used by many people to describe someone who, despite being highly intelligent and resourceful, often ends up making very silly mistakes or failing at their goals.
Imagine you're trying to solve a difficult math problem, but instead of doing the right thing (which would be taking the first possible path), you end up going down the wrong one. When you finally figure out what's going on, you realize that all your work was futile. Let's say you've been coding for months and have spent countless hours perfecting a solution to a complex problem. But just as you're about to submit it, you realize that the only mistake in the entire solution is that you forgot to use the "if" statement correctly. Your boss is going to be really mad at you because the program isn't working properly, and you know you couldn't have done anything wrong except for a simple oversight. You might even get a warning or two for making something as silly as this mistake. This example sentence is both edgy (because it's not true) and unsettling (because it goes against common sense). But hey, at least someone has to do the math!
