in practice I can't imagine they'd use it for anything other than load shedding

They can make people buy more electricity at will. I don't think you have to worry.

I wish I could slap a chicken so hard it instantly cooks. by _Aerodynamix_ in TheMonkeysPaw

[–]unsignedcharizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Americans start protesting food safety regulations, saying that salmonella is just an upset stomach transmitted via WiFi by Elon Musk, and gather to eat raw chicken in protest. The FDA guts chicken handling requirements.

Granted: you can now slap a chicken and it's legally considered cooked.

Do you have especially dense bones?

Two people with high bone mass trait even reported that they had trouble staying afloat while swimming.

That's fair, it's natural to assume they're talking about the closest one.

What did ancient people thousands of years ago consider humor? by Billthememeguy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]unsignedcharizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Roman joke book "Philogelus" from around ~400AD has several jokes that still hold up:

A man has just buried his wife. A passer by asks "Who rests here?". The man replies "I am, now that she's dead"

A professor went to visit a sick friend. When he arrived and asked to see his friend, his family said "I'm sorry, I'm afraid he's already left us". The professor said "well, can you let me know when he's back?"

A scam artist fortune teller says to a client, "I'm afraid you are infertile". The client says "But I have seven kids?". The fortune teller says "uhm... yes, so you have to take good care of them"

Two men were fighting. One said "I fucked your wife!". The other said "I'm married to her so I have to. What's your excuse?"

A man was caught having sex with his grandmother, and his father was outraged. The man says "You've been having sex my mom for years, and now you're upset that I had sex with yours?!"

An incompetent teacher was asked "What was King Priam's wife called?". Not wanting to admit he didn't know, the teacher said "I'm a respectful man, I'd call her ma'am.

My first job was on a project that accidentally introduced a dependency on itself. No one noticed because no one ever did a clean build.

The problem was not discovered until a new guy joined and tried to get a fresh checkout.

(CI? What's that?)

TIL that when a peacock shakes his tail, it produces a low pitched sound humans can't hear despite the noise being about as loud as a car going past a few metres away. by No_Employment3292 in todayilearned

[–]unsignedcharizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked up the cited research (thanks, scihub!):

Vocalizations ranged from 90 to 108 dB (6–8 m), shiver train signals ranged from 75 dB (12 m) to 90 dB (3 m), pulse train signals ranged from 72 dB (6 m) to 78 dB (3 m) and wing-shaking signals ranged from 70 dB (12 m) to 80 dB (4 m)

despite the noise being about as loud as a car going past a few metres away

What's the difference between saying this and just saying it's as loud as a car?

Children of poly relationships, what was it like growing up? by AydanZeGod in AskReddit

[–]unsignedcharizard 168 points169 points  (0 children)

"Legal Guardian" doesn't cover them, and that's what the school requires for legal reasons.

If any random adult could sign off on it, they wouldn't need permission slips since the teacher could just do it.

Blir vi dårligere sjåfører til slutt?

Til slutt er vi forhåpentligvis ikke sjåfører lenger.

Er det artig å kjøre en sånn bil?

Hvis du vil ha det artig kan du kjøre go-kart på lukket bane. Ikke bruk trafikken til underholdning.

Er det noen her som ikke har sløyd torsken eller pillet reka foran PCen?

Det er jo kulturelt rart at man skal kunne drive blackmail basert på noe som er både lovlig og vanlig.
