Kevin van der Velden

That might be it

kalina

@fredley how rude

fredley

@kalina Being suspicious is not rude

3ventic

09:20

@badp it doesn't hide messages...

it only manipulates color

kalina

@badp Air cake is so delicious

spyder

@badp and special for @kalina firecake

fredley

Fire contains 0 calories

Part of a healthy diet

spyder

And setting people on fire

kalina

Fire actually burns up calories

Wandang

09:24

@fredley in fact it burns calories

kalina

inb4 @Wandang

Wandang

DAMN YOU KALINA

I HATE YOU !!!!

fredley

@Wandang Only if what you're burning contains calories in the first place

Wandang

@fredley "fire in the hole"

kalina

@Wandang No you don't, you think I'm the best person in the bridge

Wandang

09:25

@kalina well you are perfect...ly not

fredley

@Wandang Worst use of quotes ever

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley given that calories are a measure of energy... jeah they contain it

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Iron burns. Iron does not contain calories.

kalina

@fredley it's a sexual innuendo, obviously

spyder

@kalina ^_^

Kevin van der Velden

09:26

@fredley 1 calorie = 4.18400 joules

kalina

1.21 gigafires

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Man, no wonder I've been getting fat, it's all that iron I've been eating

kalina

when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious shit

Martin Sojka

@kalina Those are tiny fires.

kalina

@MartinSojka I'm sure you're about to ~~dazzle~~ confuse me with science demonstrating your point

Wandang

09:27

i except all units as long as they are standard physical ones

fredley

How far up do you have to go before you get to the prefix 'lotta'?

Wandang

NO english pounds and shit

fredley

3 Lotta Bytes

Wandang

i prefer bits

"Bitte ein Bit" = One Bit please

good beer

fredley

@Wandang I agree

badp

09:30

@Wandang Does it involve bitcoins?

spyder

@Wandang I prefer Krušovice

Martin Sojka

@kalina I don't see the need.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp no, dogecoins!

kalina

fine!

Martin Sojka

Anyway, "calories" refer specifically to the amount of energy an animal's body can extract from a molecule. Essentially, the parts that don't end up in the citric acid cycle (entering either as acetyl-CoA, succinyl-CoA or pyruvate) don't matter. Like iron.

As such, it also depends on the organism. The same molecule can have different amounts of calories for a human compared to a lizard, depending on which of them can actually break it down and process it.

RegDwigнt

09:40

Calories are also the only thing of which a thousand equals one.

Martin Sojka

Nah, that's just silly confusion caused by lazy people who don't understand or forget "kilo".

RegDwigнt

Well yes.

But what I'm saying is that the confusion is quite unique, innit.

Nobody would pretend a byte and a kilobyte are the same thing. Or a meter and a kilometer.

Martin Sojka

Thus, I prefer to use "(biologically usable) kJ" when calculating nutritional facts.

FEichinger

@RegDwigнt Yet there are two "kilobytes".

Martin Sojka

@FEichinger I like to call one of them "chibibytes". The bigger one, to be more confusing.

Wandang

09:47

i will assure you that "bring me one byte please" will confuse people

RegDwigнt

@FEichinger Right. Hm.

Actually there are more than two.

I think Wikipedia had a whole table full of them.

Or perhaps it was XKCD.

@MartinSojka anyway, the bit about biologically usable is news to me. I think the way we were taught back in fifth grade, it was just warmth. If you can burn it, it's a calorie.

Teachers are always such liars.

Always oversimplifying things.

And then never correcting themselves later on.

Martin Sojka

@RegDwigнt The original definition was something about heat (before it was clear it was the same as energy), but that's a few centuries ago and it's not an official unit anymore, so it refers to just biologically usable part by now.

RegDwigнt

I see.

But how would you go about calculating which heat is biologically usable and which is not?

Martin Sojka

For the most part, we know the pathways good enough to simply calculate it. Before that ... well, careful measuring basically. :)

RegDwigнt

But is there a standard organism to measure against?

I mean, there's a lot of energy available to a cow that is not available to me.

I'm not even talking about plants.

Martin Sojka

09:57

Homo sapiens, since very few people bother with cooking for other animals, and when there's a need to fatten them up for the slaughter the general rule is "the more, the better, as long as they eat it."

kalina

morning @RegDwigнt

RegDwigнt

Ah, okay.

Wandang
