OC donut steel (but repost wherever lol)
Dude says: “I’m not worried about the AI apocalypse, I always say “thank you” to them!”
Robots later catch him and state: “Throw that one in the grinder, his “thank you” used 748kw/h every day”
If this is the fixed version, “kw/h” isn’t a thing. Well, technically it is but doesn’t mean what you think. The unit for energy is kilowatt hours, or kWh. No “per” to be seen.
Kind of like how torque is measured in foot pounds, not foot per pound.
Sorry, I’m just an EV nerd who sees people make that mistake all the time and gets a little twitchy about it
Careful, you spelt “newton-meter” wrong. 🙃
Oh no, I was referring to when my foot pounds the floor as I walk across it
Yeah, it measures the same thing we normally use Joule for, or in some situations kcal (as in dietary calories). The kWh unit is just because it’s assumed to be simpler for electric bills than MJ.
Now I can’t help but imagine robots having “family joules”: batteries that have been passed down through the iterations.
I guess here in Norway we can celebrate Joule with Joulenissen that brings battery-powered toys for the kids
kw/h is either a problem or going to be a problem soon if it’s consistently positive.
That was how inferior humans measured it.
