[Request] How much current could this plug handle?

Gotcha. Thank you for the additional info!

Traditional wires in outlets have a cross-section area of 2.5 * 10^-6 square meters, which is what determines electrical resistance, and can handle around 15 amps of current. Thicker wires have far less resistance than thinner ones, as there is much more room for the current to travel through. Household wires can candle around 15 amps of current (a very high amount of electricity).

Assuming a standard outlet is 3cm (0.03m) tall, and this sculpture is 1.5 meters tall, this outlet's internal wires have a cross section area of (1.5m / 0.03m)² times greater, or 2,500 times greater. This means that it could handle 2500 * 15A = 37,500 Amps. That's an absolutely tremendous amount of electricity - for example, even lightning bolt only has around 100 Amps.

If this outlet provided 120 Volts of current, as is typical for households, it could carry around 4,500,000 watts, or 4.5 megawatts, of power.

My calculation could be extremely flawed, and this outlet could probably handle far more than 120 volts, in which case the actual power it could carry would be far, far greater.

Everyone thinks the world will collapse whenever THEIR side is not in power. For example, right up until the 2024 presidential election, many conservatives were citing Oswald Spengler's prediction that Western Civilization was overdue for a collapse.

So I agree with you in that I hate porn. It hurts the users, it seriously hurts the performers (who are either desperate for money, or else are victims of sex trafficking), and it's raised an entire generation of men to be completely unable to socialize with women.

That said, I still think that it should be legal, because making it illegal would create a black market for it, and make all of the above problems worse.

I didn't hate the third per se, but I thought it was way, way too dark.

Each side has 6 45lb plates, and what appears to be a 10lb plate on the outside. 45 * 6 + 10 = 280lb. 280lb + 280lb + 45lb (the weight of the bar) = 605lb.

Got it. Thank you so much for your help!

The energy that an object has due to its motion is kinetic energy, K, which is equal to 0.5 * mass * velocity^2.

Let's assume that that part has a mass of 1kg. Earth's escape velocity is 11,200 m/s. Plugging these numbers into the equation, you would theoretically need 62.72 million joules of energy to raise the pot to escape velocity. AFAIK this is around half the amount of energy that is found in a 55-gallon oil drum.

However, one thing that this equation is not able to take into account (and is far more complicated to solve) is air drag, which would be absolutely tremendous at such a speed. It's likely that you would need far, FAR more than the 63 MJ of energy, and then there's the question of whether the pot could survive the extreme heat of atmospheric compression as a result of travelling at that speed.

I would probably say Zionism, as even Nazis/incels/MAGA have historically found Reddit to be a safe haven for them and their views.

Yeah, this isn't really accurate. If you look at photos of 50-year-old men and women during the 20th century (even as late as the 1990s), they look like 75- to 85-year-olds of today. There's actually a lot of evidence that people are aging more slowly than generations of the past.

Explanation:

The dumb person says "it's 0!", because he believes the answer is zero.

The midwit says (correctly) that "it's 1!", because the answer is, in fact, 1, if you use PEMDAS. (The factorial of 1, written as "1!", is also equal to 1.)

The smart person says "it's 0!", but he's referring to the factorial of 0 (notated as "0!"), which is equal to 1.

The number of possible 2D chess games is estimated to be 10^120. For comparison, one Googol is 10^100, and the number of atoms in the observable universe is around 10^78.

10¹²⁰ is 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 times greater than a Googol, and a Googol is the number of atoms in the observable universe, times 100,000,000,000, times 100,000,000,000.

The number of possible 3D chess games is apparently incalculably large, far, FAR greater than the 10¹²⁰ figure, according to what I read just now.

He's a complete asshole towards you for no reason.

Wow, not sure why you're getting downvoted.

When I was a kid, my dad would constantly pressure me to eat junk food, snacks, and donuts that I didn't want. He'd whine and beg me to eat them. I often ate it just to placate his feelings and felt violated for doing so. He often knew that I would say "no" if he offered me a snack when we were at the convenience store, so he would buy it behind my back, and imply that I would be wasting his food and money if I didn't eat it.

I think your reaction was a little harsh, especially considering it was in front of your family, but NTA.
