@milobyte@sunny.garden living somewhere where food energy is typically measured in kilojoules instead of kilocalories makes the equivalence really clear, so i love thinking about this stuff. 8,700 kJ per day means the average human power draw is 100 watts. which is probably pretty close to what the main desktop computer i use averages too.

@two@critter.cafe oh that's a really good comparison, i didn't think to calculate that one. the human body is remarkably efficient but its cool how its still in the same ballpark as familiar technology. i wish they used kilojoules here too, seems much more sensible
