fox2263,

I don’t know like. Have you ever slept next to a woman? They generate about a Dyson spheres suns worth of heat.

Tomato666,

This clearly a lie. Their feet temperature are close to absolute zero

Anticorp,

Depends on the woman. My wife puts out more heat than a nuclear reactor.

Damn, you got that model, mine is just subzero temp freezer, but it balances out since Im practically a nuclear reactor of heat

fox2263,

It is useful in winter.

I’m normally cold except if I’ve had a late takeaway or a drink, then I turn in to a furnace 🤣

But it’s in incomplete list. Without boobs, it isn’t a fair comparison.

Master,

Dyson sphere has boobs

cmgvd3lw,

But no nipples

Mannimarco,

Boobs are pretty neat

aBundleOfFerrets,

A trillion of an SI prefix will always be silly. Just use a bigger prefix!

While I agree, most people know tera- at this point. Most people probably do not know zetta- yet.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Most of us aren’t used to “terrawatts” though. Is that like one Earth worth of watts? One watt as measured on Earth? The definition of watt culturally accepted by Earthlings?

You wouldn’t find a terawatt in everyday usage, but a terawatt-hour is pretty commonplace when talking about the energy usage of entire populations.

This Reuters article states US power demand will climb to “4,027 billion kWh in 2022.” Yeah, just say 4 PWh. Or even 4,027 TWh. It’s a little more easily digested.

It’s already an incomprehensably high number. No matter which way you state it is going to fly over peoples heads.

And the entire electricity consumption of the planet is something like 25.5 petawatt-houts.

Interesting_Test_814,

I think theperson you’re replying to was making a joke off the misspelling of “terrawatts” in OP.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Oh that’s super interesting and I did not know that, but I was riffing off the double R in “terrawatt,” instead of “terawatt.”

Like “tera” describes an order of magnitude, but “terra” means “earth,” as in “terra firma,” “terra nova,” or “terran.”

So I guess you could say that 25.5 petawatt-hours = 25,500 terawatt-hours = 1 terrawatt-hour.

zzzz,

And how’re we supposed to learn when y’all keep dumbing shit down?

There’s another way a girlfriend is like a Dyson sphere. I don’t have a Dyson sphere.

argh_another_username,

The size of your mother. ✔️ ❌

girl,

how can women be expected to compete against the dyson sphere? it’s all over for us, smh 😔

hungryphrog,

Your gf doesn’t do that? Weird.

Ziglin,

Is your girlfriend perchance a Dyson Sphere?

So you’re into power exchange relationships? sup?

Anticorp,

Hold up! Isn’t a Dyson sphere pretty low maintenance once it’s built?

JohnDClay,

I guess it would depend on the temperature resistance and how the power is transmitted. Even solar panels wear out, and the collection surfaces of a dyson sphere would be a lot higher temp. But with something that scale, I’d imagine it would be a ton of maintenance work even if was a tiny amount per area.

Unforeseen,

Yeah it’s a misconception, it’s the Dyson swarm that’s high maintenance

schema,

I mean wouldn’t you still have to maintain the electrics of a sun sized surface? I guess you could use its own power for maintenance robots…

Anticorp,

All I know is that Picard’s Enterprise found a long abandoned Dyson Sphere and it was still functional.

I doubt it. A structure like that would be an enourmous engineering project pummeled by solar radiation on the inside and space debris on the outside.
