Just look in any toilet. If corn can survive GI distress of such magnitudes, it can survive anything
Under enough pressure, I don’t see why not. Corn on tbe cob doesn’t have any particularly heavy metals in it, so it should be possible to use as fusion fuel if you have enough* of it.
*Enough to form a star out of it, that is.
Absolutely. Especially if you have a Mr Fusion unit.
There might be a kernel of truth to this.
OhMyDawg there’s some funny shit here.
Technically, yes, but you’d have to remove the kernels first. Fusion ignition in small artificial reactors requires a temperature of at least 100 million degrees Celsius (much higher than in stars) and since the cob acts as an insulator (or possibly a heat sink – it was never clear from the previous discussion – maybe it was both) such temperatures could never be reached even with the most intense focused radiation because AIUI the cob would just radiate the heat away from the kernels, preventing thermonuclear ignition.
AFAICT the only way to ignite fusion in an intact corncob and counteract the cooling effect of the cob is to throw the whole thing into a supermassive black hole. This, however, is not seen as a practical source of energy from corn. It’s considered more practical to throw corncobs into the core of a conventional uranium fission reactor. After the usable energy has been extracted, the corn can be planted, thus producing more corn in an endless cycle of free energy. Why this hasn’t already been done is not clear.
So what you’re saying is that if I buy an insulated sink and fill it with corn, then put it in a hole, I can plug my toaster into it?
The only way to know for sure is to try it and see.
You can plug a toaster into nearly anything. Whether it can toast things while plugged into that thing is another story.
I have a feeling (so I’m convinced that it’s true, and I will endlessly argue that it is) that if you plug a toaster into a piece of toast, you can then drain the toastiness from that toast as power to toast another piece of bread. The original toast will go back to being untoasted bread.
I’m basically a scientist you know.
I was hoping that someone, somewhere, had made a sourdough bread powered battery (like a potato or lemon battery) and was sorely disappointed by Google.
I will revive my sourdough starter and give it a try, for science.
I just watched that clip, it would have made for a nice ‘cite’ if Doc had pulled corn out of the trash to use as fuel.
What he did pull out was random enough that I assume a corncob would work.
I think it’s true. At least, there were a lot of hits when I Googled “inserted right into the cornhole”. They are probably about this weird source of power.
Well that is funny.
Fucking HBDC is being super inconsistent:
“I hate him but he’s the only one to clean house?”
The fucker is the one that took a house that was dirty and made it into a fucking hoarders house!
Several people in the thread are being far more polite (P&E) and asking for specifics, cites, and, you know, examples and evidence, but followers of -this- thread know that HBDC when not trolling, is 100% based on feelings, random thoughts, and “this seems reasonable” rather than, you know, fucking evidence, cites, or the capacity for rational thought.
Rational critical thoughts to stupid fucks like you means don’t challenge what you say. Go fuck yourself.
But you haven’t challenged anything. Your just parrot right-wing wharrgarbl.
We are always very interested in rational critical thoughts. Please let us know when you start having some.
That quote is straight out of the NY Times Pitchbot. “I have always hated Trump, but if Biden can’t do something about college protests, I will be forced to vote for Trump a third time.”
