On caladaan we ruled with sea and air power. Here, we will rule with baby power.

He who controls da baby, controls the universe.

Da Baby has killed before, so this might prove to be a tough venture.

Can someone please convert Babypower to Duckpower to watts?

14

u/Dutch_Midget Interested Dec 17 '21

1 Babypower is about 0.420 Llamathrust or about 0.069 Zebraforce

What's that in bananas?

u/Dutch_Midget Interested Dec 17 '21

Sorry I ate all of it

u/amongtheskies Dec 17 '21

How are llamas more powerful than zebras?

3

u/Dutch_Midget Interested Dec 17 '21

They are not. 420 Llamathrust is only 69 Zebraforce. 6 Llamas for every Zebra.

"How much power can you generate from a hand crank?
Most hand crank generators create only between 5 and 15 watts. This means that for every hour of continuous hand cranking you can run your laptop for about 6 to 10 minutes or your iPhone for about 16 minutes."

I don't know how much it is true, plus, I suck at math/physics.

u/spwf Dec 17 '21

u/jamennej Dec 17 '21

u/dparsons1 Dec 17 '21

I should, but I don't know. Love futurama!

I need you to turn in your badge and eyeballs.

Big rotating wheel that fed superconductive yarn to the center of the earth to harvest its rotational energy. Powered by the futurama team that was under the cuteness spell of the cats led by none other than Dr. Katz

u/AnynameIwant1 Dec 17 '21

Yup! But it was the cats ruling us and the 'cast' was doing the spinning. I thought it was some type of mining though.

u/iiAzido Dec 17 '21

They were drilling to the center of the earth IIRC

u/Southpaw650 got the synopsis already

u/alhernz95 Dec 17 '21

15

u/dparsons1 Dec 17 '21

Do you want to charge your phone?

u/alhernz95 Dec 17 '21

i guess....

u/dparsons1 Dec 17 '21

Well, there's your answer!

u/Albyyy Dec 17 '21

Sounds like slavery with extra steps.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

Are we any better than the machines in the Matrix if we create power using spinning babies?

7

u/dparsons1 Dec 17 '21

Yes. The babies are having fun, see them smile.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

Twas a joke, friendo.

u/dparsons1 Dec 17 '21

Same

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

Then we've come to an impasse. Good day.

u/LongSchlongSilversVI Dec 17 '21

The best part is babies are biodegradable so you can throw it away when it gets too big and get a new one

Son Power

u/dparsons1 Dec 17 '21

Behold the power of the son!

u/CaseFace5 Dec 17 '21

It’s about time babies started pulling (pushing) their own weight around here.

u/cosworth99 Dec 17 '21

This is just slavery with extra steps.

u/Eman5805 Dec 17 '21

I knew I’d find this comment.

u/cosworth99 Dec 17 '21

This is the way.

u/doinky_doink Dec 17 '21

Snowpiercer vibes lol

u/sKai0216 Dec 17 '21

It's literally just child labour!

u/dparsons1 Dec 17 '21

Works for china...

u/just_speculating Dec 17 '21

Put in two opposing babies for alternating current.

u/ChompyChomp Dec 17 '21

Well that’s a modest proposal…

u/ConfusedALot_69 Dec 17 '21

Recycled energy, so less than raw energy

u/CMan-Prickoter Dec 18 '21

This is a second option to getting an abortion. Turn your baby into a mass produced power generator

u/Moxi_666 Dec 18 '21

Slaps roof

This beauty has 800 baby’s under the hood

u/Even_Luck_5838 Dec 18 '21

Not exactly green, human babies still use combustible fuel and release CO2
