Not if it’s measured with a fractional part.

In that case I’d expect the wording to be “time lived”, not “number of seconds lived”.

I don’t think the time someone is born is registered that precisely anywhere, so it would probably be very hard to get anyone to agree on it.

Chances are you shared that position with someone else.

Edit: There are 86400 seconds in a day while globally on average about 362,000 babies are born per day.

Who is behind bookwyrm and why is that a reason to not use it?

And if i don’t they might find out I’m in the country that i live in.

It’s an interesting attack, but I’d hardly call getting the location within a ±200 mile radius deanonymisation, especially if it’s so easily avoided by using a vpn.

Glad to see reading comprehension is at an all time high.

my 50 watt lightbulb will run for an absurd number of years when hooked up to a nuclear generator and will be completely vaporized by the nuclear bomb.

That is true whether you express the energy as kWh or MJ.

Also keep in mind your average person likely doesn’t remember their physics classes and how joules, time, and watts all relate to each other

It’s becoming clear to me that you don’t either. KW is not the same as kWh, the latter does not have a time component anymore despite the name. Watt is the amount of joules per second. kWh is the amount of energy spend it you use 1KW for an hour regardless of the time that amount of energy is spend in similar to how a lightyear is the distance that light travels in a year regardless of how long you take to travel that far.

Uranium has 2x10¹³ joules of energy stored. You can use all that energy at once in a bomb and explode a city in a second, a lot of Work done very quickly, ooooor you could put it into a reactor and power a city and do a lot of Work during a much longer time period.

And the amount of kWh provided is the same in either case. So using kWh gives you no relevant information about how the device uses that energy during a period of time.

My point is that kWh is the same. It doesn’t say anything about time. 1 kWh is 3.6 MJ. There is no difference except the factor 3.6.

Right, so it’s only the popularity of the unit. If everyone would use MJ that’s what people would be used to and there’d be no real difference.

kWh is just a measure of energy though. B it says nothing about the time in which it’s expended. It’s possible to use a kWh in a minute.

I can’t imagine why kWh would be more convenient than MJ though.
