So, about 10 years ago, I pissed off a few of the shop guys at my site. Basically, I was doing my job, and they thought I was a dick. At the time, my company had issued me captain bars to wear on my uniform. So, these geniuses decided to nickname me Captain Cupcake. I heard about it from another guard, and immediately started laughing. I loved it. It's so childish. I told my wife about it, and an hour or so later, she pulls into my work and hands me this picture. I about died laughing. I carried it in a bag for a couple years, then stored it on a bookshelf. Well, today, years later, I heard about a shop guy calling me that again. And again, I laughed. So, I came home, dug out this picture, and am now posting it online. Long live Captain Cupcake!

Can someone calculate for me the volume of loch ness in liters so I can figure out how many humans you’d need to drink it

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

Ok I had to search a bit, but it’s apparently 7,448,160,000,000 liters? this is a problem, the upper limit of the average human stomach is just four liters, and even then that’s a very uncomfortable amount of water to have in there. Which means there aren’t enough humans on this planet to drink all of loch ness

[jesus-lizard-journal]

what if they drank their fill and then peed it out somewhere where the liquid wouldn’t just run back into loch ness? Then they could go back and drink more the next morning. How many days would that take? Would we end up with a new loch made entirely of pee? Loch piss? 

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

possibly, but thats not taking rainfall into account and the amount of water fed into it every day by the River Oich

[sarah-is-always-triggered]

The upper limit for the human stomach is about 4 liters. It takes the human body about 45 to 60 minutes to absorb/expel 1 liter of water (for the sake of this math problem just go with 60 (1 hour). An average person sleeps 8 hours. An average person spends about 3 hours eating (1 hour for each meal of the day) A day is 24 hours.

1 person alone: 572 billion days or all 7.3 billion people just 78.5 days, roughly. Assuming no one died of e coli or something.

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

this is good, but again, this doesn’t take rainfall or the river oich into account. It would have to be done during a dryer season in scottland and the river would need to be dammed.

[severalowls]

There is no dryer season in Scotland though. It hasn’t stopped raining since Roman times.

You might need a second team of people to hold umbrellas over the drinking people.

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

the rain would still drip off the umbrellas and into the loch, this is gonna be a problem… someone calculate the annual rainfall over Scotland, can 7 billion people outdrink it?

[butch-king-frankenstein]

The western Highlands, where Loch Ness is located, is one of the rainiest places in Europe, with a yearly average rainfall of 4,577 millimeters (12.54 millimeters a day).  Loch Ness’ surface area is 56 square kilometers.  If it rains 12.54 millimeters every day, then Loch Ness will gain 702,240 cubic meters (over 700 million liters) of water per day.  Everyone will have to drink 0.1 extra liters of water to keep up.

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

that sounds doable! our goal is now clear

[cocobutterbella-deactivated2016]

ok but why tho?

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

if you can think of a better way to find Nessie I’d love to hear it

[felicitydisco]

You know that thing when a guy holds a door and you say “thank you” because you’re a polite person but then he says “You’re VERY WELCOME!” in a way that is so obviously saying “I’m so glad you APPRECIATE ME AS YOU SHOULD and you’re not one of those humorless feminists who objects to chivalry”?

I hate that.

[s8nlvsu]

Yeah, any time I’ve ever said “very welcome” to anyone, it was because I was in a good/silly mood. I’m now worried that people will think this instead.

[s8nlvsu]

Jessie and Satchel are ready for Halloween.

[alwaysbewoke]

What the fuck is wrong with people?! Damn!!

[geekandmisandry]

Who the fuck sees that and thinks that someone is saying “more cops need to be murdered”??

[divinedebris]

How… just how… why did he immediately think that? Really?
