Is that less or more the energy of your average Falcon Punch?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Also at room temperature, the average speed of atoms in the material is at 400 m/s, at least for a gas. That might give you a hint.

Where's the link to the YouTube video where someone tried this? I remember listening to it last time someone posted this.

What if I wanted to cook the chicke through friction, by say inserting an object 3 fingers or so thick in and out of its cavity as fast as athletically possible? ... so um... how long can I keep fucking my chicken?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

alternatively, how long do I have to keep choking my chicken to cook it?

Math says it’ll take more than 2 minutes, so unfortunately it’s out of reach for you

Excellent, physics in service of humanity!

How fast does it cook in a vacuum?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

to my knowledge these calculations pretty much have to be assuming a vacuum. IE there's no mention of heat loss between slaps. which would be inevitable as 23k instant slaps, would take considerable time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I'd suspect it doesn't cook so much as, y'know, explode and dessicate
