minus-squarecartoon meme dog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·11 months agoprisons used to have treadmills to power machines. six hours a day, with rest breaks. when there’s an engine to replace that, of course they’d explain it in terms of how many men it could replace permanently. saying “but look at how much power Usain Bolt can produce for a few seconds” is not relevant. the hp unit is reasonable based on whole-day power from typical farm horses.
