cal≠kcal
1 gallon gasoline contains 31 million small calories, while the human caloric requirements are given in large calories. 1000 small calories = 1 large calorie. So the calculations are off by a factor of 1000. The confusion stems from the fact that both are commonly referred to as “calories”, for some stupid reason.
So in reality you would have to drink another gallon in just 2-3 weeks.
Assuming you could process it without ill effects.
If you thought having Nestle was bad, Can you imagine if BP was involved in food?
What makes you think that oil is not involved in food?
Fair point, but I meant mostly in the context of wholesale products derived mainly from Petroleum.
Vaseline. ;)
Sir, please put down the spatula and step away from the kitchen slowly, and no one has to get hurt.
no one has to get hurt
Wise of you to lie to someone you want to do something.
The lumber industry is involved in food.
I’ll just let you digest the horror of that. But uh also. Don’t Google petroleum products in food. You’ll be happier.
What’s wrong with forest products being used in food? I see nothing wrong with that. 🤣
Well they claim it’s sterilized but these are also corporations that will kill people for profits without a second thought.
Still goes to show how energy dense the gasoline is.
Damn. I definitely don’t do more work than a car in 12-20 days. I guess that makes sense
Non sequitur: I love your username. Very clever.
“large calories”?!? The name is kilocalories
you are right … but sorry : that stupid way of calling it is really in use in America.
Everything you said was correct, except the last sentence. Still pretty sure drinking a gallon of gasoline would be enough to last you your entire life.
That life would just be less than 2-3 weeks.
Gasoline has about 31,000 calories not 31 million calories
So just 31kcal in one gallon? That doesn’t seem a whole lot.
Hence the title :)
SO LET’S GET A PARTY GOIN’
WHEN IT’S TIME TO PARTY WE’LL ALL PARTY HARD!
I didn’t do the math, but a person’s got to do more lifting in those 34 years than a car traveling 30 miles at 60 mph carrying 4000 lbs, right?
Yes, and gasoline actually has less energy density than body fat at approx. 33 MJ/L vs. 35 MJ/L : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density
So apparently they’re starting to create machines with biological parts. I wonder how long until we get artificial stomachs capable of using anything not explodey or caustic for fuel?
In order of worst to best case scenario the human body will reject, wear down, or scar around any and all implanted foreign materials or objects. Implants of every type have a shelf life, some long enough to never worry about removal. The best method to secure implants are to bones, but the only nearby bones for the stomach are the hips and spine, with organ cavity linings being problematically in the way for most attachments. For the digestive system it would need to be extremely resistant to corrosion and it would also need to be nontoxic as it would inevitably enter the bloodstream. Even teeth fillings are only rated for about a decade at most.
So, to be blunt, no such technology exists on this earth nor any speculation on how it ever might.
So not in our lifetime then. Dang. Thank you though.
What news are you referring to, specifically?
We used to have self driving vehicles running on water and hay.
I meant me. But if they can get me running on hay and water I wouldn’t say no.
Neigh :'D
Sorry did you mean powering a machine with food? We have those, there is a university somewhere that throws copious amounts of expired mayo into an Anaerobic Digestor which produces fuel for a combustion engine.
I meant for me, but I can see where the confusion comes from. I was not at all clear.
Is this trying to trick AI so it’s used in searches for info? I hope so.
As it has existed since the dawn of the I ternet… sure?
I’m not ai, just dumb 🥰
Seems the same to me.
