She's going to ask what I've been doing. I may as well say I've been watching porn rather than try and explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken is cooked at 74C. So you need to supply 71C of energy to cook the chicken. The specific heat capacity of chicken is 2.72kJ per kg per degC so 71x2720 = 183120J. A slap might generate about 10N which if perfectly converted to heat would supply about 0.1J. So you'd need to slap it 1.83 million times. Assuming no heat loss between slaps and that the hear would be evenly spread throughout the chicken. Or you'd need to slap it 1.83 million times harder than a typical slap. I not sure the "after" picture would look much like chicken. Well you asked. You showed your working, so I give you more credit... but QI has a different answer. You’re miles apart. I demand some sort of summit to get the right answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 5, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2019 It's not very often I get a police request that sparks my curiosity. Murder, Domestic, Drugs, Murder, Drugs, ABH, Witness Appeal, blah blah its all fairly normal, then today I get hit with... Outraging Public Decency! I'm pretty curious as to what one has to do to get prosecuted for this It wasn't tried for over 80 years until an artist was charged with it for making earings from frozen human foetuses now its tried 4-500 times a year! *Runs away to do more research on company time* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 1984? Fatherland by Robert Harris is decent enough. Man In The High Castle was good until the ending from what I remember. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
