in reply to Zerush • • • Public MessageThere's very little useful tech in the US; every time I see what other countries are doing and having traveled to some. We're living in the dark ages.
I can't think of anything other than enshitification being the largest advancements in the US.

in reply to AntiOutsideAktion • • • Public MessageYou're mixing up units, and I'm not sure what you're saying.
Watts are a unit of power. Watt hours are a unit of energy.
The link you gave, which is not Wikipedia, describes 180,000 TWh of energy used in 2025, 2,811 TWh of which came from solar.

in reply to sparkyshocks • • • Public MessageDid I say it was a wikpedia link, or did I say it was a wikipedia source?
Does the OP link say GW or GWh?
Fuck off. You're a failure of a pedant.

in reply to AntiOutsideAktion • • • Public MessageOh, I was gently warning you that you were unintentionally wrong. OP's link is about power, and your link is about energy, and you've somehow managed to completely misread it.
But if you're gonna dig in your heels, then sure. Continue being wrong. Being a dick about it won't make others take you seriously.

in reply to sparkyshocks • • • Public MessageThink about this for literally five seconds you fucking moron.
Does wikipedia link to itself as a source?
What do you think the word 'source' means?

in reply to AntiOutsideAktion • • • Public MessageWhat a stupid thing to get upset about. Just cite the source, why did you bring Wikipedia into it if you're not gonna reference what it was cited for there...
If you find an article on Google, do you call it a Google source?

in reply to 3abas • • • Public MessageI found a claim on wikipedia and then linked the source it listed. So literally the exact thing you're telling me to do as if you weren't completely wrong about what was happening.

in reply to Slashme • • • Public Messagesometimes things become standard I guess
like driving 1000 kilometers for a trip
or weighing 100 kilograms
using 1000 kWh in your house

in reply to weps • • • Public MessageMuch as I'd like Mm and Mg to be more widely used, they're very rarely seen. TW and MWh are perfectly normal units, though.
I do find it sad that people talk about 1000 kilotons, though. It's a Tg. A ton is a megagram, a kiloton is a gigagram, and a thousand of those is a teragram. It's a pity that we don't live in a world where that's normal.
