It’s prob necessary to do something, even new ICE vehicles & new fuels are not the cleanest in India, but old ones prob really need to go, especially in a country with such pollution problems.
How to achieve that & why not boost public (city) transport instead, etc & why they decided to go this way can def be questioned - but that’s in all nations & at the end something still gets done.
^ historically/statistically there must have been a sailor serving in some navy with the nickname Moonshine.
But also just for fun:
(Different definition/pov of what is measured, yes, that is where the joke is.)
Hehe, look at this falsehood - there is no way this things can talk!
(However imho this is a more clear example of ‘two different definitions’ of the main concept/phrase intentionally mixed together for comedic effect, bcs words can explicitly have more than one meaning, and yes, usually you can tell from the context.)
This pic is def:
This “fun fact” mixes up the two definitions, making the statement meaningless.
The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!
Hey, sexy bone-marrow pelvis, shake them atomic gains!
(OK, but like, if I produced synthetic plutonium I would make the box look like a chocolate box. Those workers & engineers deserve to have a fun work environment, engage in some shenanigans, make an oopsie from time to time.)
this is a commonly repeated
falsehoodobvious joke
And, if I have to explain the joke: it’s just E=mc² (the Einstein thing … well, the Einstein’s thing’s approximation), the energy (E) is the same for all mass (m) since the c is a constant.
You get the same 21 billon kcal from 1g of apples as from 1g of plutonium.
And since it’s usually well known humans do not devour mass into pure energy that might trigger ppls sense of humour.
(Additionally the idea of eating metal to seek nutrition might be funny, but we do need some metals \m/.)
Also “potential energy” phrasing is weird in that context.
There are 2 different definitions of calorie.
This “fun fact” mixes up the two definitions
It’s not even two definitions, the kcal is absolutely the same, it’s just used to measure two different things (mass energy vs the sum of what an average human can extract via chemical processes). I see you def understand that, but it’s not a different definition of a calorie (in the same way as length vs width of an object isn’t a different definition of a metre).
Equivalent-level of fun fact: 1 gram of hay contains that much calories too!
Zomg, where are all the warning labels???
I mean, you can heat any old rock & make it look like that … what I’m saying is that every rock, when heated to 500+°C, will gain delicious orange flavour, but scientists don’t want you to know that!!
Wonderule!
Not to be confused with wanderules.
lemm.ee :‘’'(
It doesn’t fit at all but I still hear the Sealab 2021 theme song …
… and some of them have social anxiety …
