A Horse power being only 735 watt is honestly so weird like that's not even enough to run a modern game on decent seatings
You wanna know what's fucked?
Your brain is a 25-watt computer.
Brain is 25% of your energy consumption, you burn about 100 watts of power (about 100 joules per second). You're a 25-watt computer.
I don't like that fact
No but for real. Your brain is one of the most advanced machines known to exist. It's a computer capable of running a sapient intelligence on - and I cannot stress this enough - 25 watts of broccoli and stew. What the fuck.
It's a cool fact it just makes me uncomfortable
so an average toaster runs at about 1200 watts, say it takes 5 min to toast bread thats 0.1Kwh. itd take 4 hours of brain power to toast it
Just connect multiple humans together matrix style
in the woods amongst my coven, 48 all in total, linking hands deep in concentration. our collective will united on our task of great importance for what feels like days but in reality scarce but a few minutes. in the centre of us lays a single slice of toast cooked to perfection
they're out here saying shit like my brain can't produce as much rotational energy as an entire horse
That doesn't sound right. When we calculate the power necessary for a computer, we don't just calculate the electricity going to the CPU, we also calculate the fan usage and GUI usage and so on and so forth, right? So by analogy, we should consider the power usage for the entire machine, not just the calculating bit. The brain can't run if you disconnect it and take it out of its casing, it needs the rest of the system to run correctly. So if the numbers in this post are correct, we're 100 watt computers, not 25 watt.
Still less than a horse power tho
