Just as a reminder that even if you turned an entire atom into pure kenitic energy, you wouldn't even see a flash.

Math stuff:

So E = M c^2

I'll choose a carbon atom because it's a round number (don't think about that statement too hard)

So carbon has an atomic mass of 12 atomic mass units. In grams (divide by Avagadro's number) is 1.992 E-23 grams.

Shove that into E=mc^2 and you get 1.790 nanojoules, which is 4.974 E-16 kilowatt-hours. Or at 12¢ per KWH is 5*E-15 cents of power.

So to power a 500 watt gaming rig, you'd need to burn about 20 nanograms of carbon at 100% efficiency, per hour.

My childhood fear was getting the vaccine shot for the swine flu which was a big issue in the mid 70's. My 5th grade class received new text books and there was a photo of a kid getting the vaccine shot. Instead of a needle it was delivered by a big device that looked like an uzi machine gun and I was terrified of it. Time passed and I never got the shot. That's when I learned how the news works.

I have nothing to worry about while I'm in bermuda. I mean I'm not exactly triangle-shaped. Didn't these people ever have toys as kids? Sheesh!

I will never not cringe at "on accident" instead of "by accident"

euchhhh.

It's even funnier when you remember that like 99% of all matter is empty space, and electrostatic force is what keeps everything from sliding past everything else.

Fun fact: The Bermuda Triangle actually lives in your closet and plans to get you in your sleep.

Neutrinos: tf is an atom I’ve never seen one

Don't forget quicksand... I spent all my childhood afraid of falling into it. Somehow it was an unwarranted concern.

Just stick to elements lighter than iron and you'll be fine.

My uncle told me he sailed through the Bermuda Triangle all the time. I thought he was full of crap.
