Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

People here talk so much shit about reddit, but post shit from reddit, copy reddit, and talk like redditors.

Gasoline has about 31,000 calories not 31 million calories

So just 31kcal in one gallon? That doesn't seem a whole lot.

I'm assuming 31k kcal, which confusingly everyone calls a calorie. There's no way it's only 31kcal.

This is correct. Everyone in the US calls a kcal a calorie. I learned to distinguish them with big "C" and little "c", but I've just looked it up and this is apparently not so common. I guess ppl who are aware of these things just go with the SI unit of kJ.

Hence the title :)

Gasoline has the energy content comparable to cooking oil (biodiesel among other things is made from used frying oil from restaurants at least where i live)

So I can replace cooking oil with gasoline in my recipes? Nifty!
