Don’t start

I was hoping to read a collection of people’s group chat incidents. This sucks.

You’re confusing Watts (power) with Watt-hours (energy). A Watt is a Joule per second. A Watt-hour is the amount of energy you’d use if you used 1 Watt for an hour i.e. 3600 Joules.

Microwaves use around 1000 watts. If you ran a microwave for an hour, it would use 1000 Watt-hours (aka 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh))

I went on a bit of a dive trying to find this out. Listening to Lemmy you’d believe a single text query burns 1,000 trees.

The “microwave for an hour” line comes from this article. It attributes it to Sasha Luccioni/Code Carbon, which monitored the power usage of a computer while it created a video with “CogVideoX” (not Sora).

So OP isn’t exactly right but unfortunately we don’t have much better to go off. I’m inclined to believe Sora would be much better than that. A surprising amount of news articles all eventually lead back to Sasha Luccioni.

I’m blinded by nostalgia but yes

It’s ok they’ll store every person as a column in an Excel 2003 spreadsheet so they’ll only have data for the first few thousand people

Is this the opposite version of “I prefer girls without makeup”?

We have a list in the UK. It’s a fun read. I like to giggle at the “mild” words. Like “bonk” hehe

Same, I was distracted for the first 10 minutes trying to watch out for a cut!

The episodes actually are one take, apparently

My bathtub still hasn’t recovered from the time I used it to store leftover bolognese

Carbon credits are bullshit, you can’t put fossil fuels back in the ground.

They’re the fucks who play music

Hooray, you have better security than Apple, who won’t let me use my own email because some idiot in Australia used it first.

Hi it’s still broken on my machine. I’ve tried turning it off and on again

Maybe, but it’s just not the same if you can plug your keyboard back in and fix it. CURSE YOU USB

I believe everybody should get a downvoted comment every now and then. Have a real opinion, people!

(I mean things like enjoying Nickelback or hating dogs. No bigotry)

I loved the PCs that had Ctrl + up as a shortcut to flip the monitor orientation. I think it was a Dell thing?

My favourite prank was to flip the screen upside down then unplug the keyboard. Good luck saving your work fuck face
