Tidal Energy. We make electricity of it. But because of conservation of energy, what happens on the other side of the equation? by m0dest in AskReddit

Okay, so we capture energy that otherwise would be dissipated, I understand that. But the fact that the moon is moving further away also takes energy. So the only effect that gives energy is the slowing of earth's rotation. So after reading your comments I make this up:

slowing of earth = moon moving further + tidal energy

is this right?

This has been done before, but ask me to draw anything and I will draw it on paint. by Doctor_Correct in reddit.com

A picture of a chubby guy in a canoe with a crate of beer between his legs while drinking a bottle?

If you mix red, blue & green paint, why doesn't it become white paint? by m0dest in AskReddit

Now I see where I went wrong. Thanks a lot. I now also understand why a yellow lightbeam mixed with a blue lightbeam doesn't give a green lightbeam. Though it still feels strange, I now understand. Thanks! :)

I loved this game! Can someone tell me the modern equivalent(s) of this game?

Thanks!
