The human brain operates on just 12 watts of power—roughly equivalent to a dim light bulbimagine still making comparisons to conventional light bulbs in a day and age where you can illuminate multiple rooms with 12 watts

@schrottkatze@mastodon.catgirl.cloud @lalonsander@chaos.social considering a diesel locomotive which uses 6-20 g diesel per t·km; let's assume 10 for simplicity's sake. diesel has an energy density of 43 kJ/g, or about 10 kcal/g.
that would work out to 100 kcal/t·km, or 0.1 cal/g·km. so about the same order of magnitude as a human on a bike. possibly even lower. electric locomotives may be even more efficient.
that is, if you count energy per total mass moved. a bike typically has less than a quarter of the mass of the human riding it, but a train can weigh many times more than what it's transporting, especially if what it's transporting is humans. for instance, a crowded twindexx carriage might transport something like 250 people. assuming an average human+luggage weighs 100 kg, that's 25 t of payload in a >50 t carriage, plus maybe 75 t of locomotive…
gut dass sie das draufgeschrieben haben, sonst hätte ich das Teil glatt für einen Bus gehalten :blobcatgooglytrash:
it's frustrating to see all the bullshit added to firefox all the time
and it's frustrating to see firefox bugs that have been open for 20 years
but viewed side by side this stark contrast is just infuriating
thinking once again about how utterly bizzare the business concept of tchibo is

@mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social do it anyway. literally just start using your new name. the law may force you to use whatever name your parents gave you in certain context but it has no business dictating what people around you call you.
