Gen Z Wants To Blow Up China's Biggest Dam

[@SteveMcQueen-d8b]

If you are comparing rocks to eggs a cubic meter of rocks 2.5 tones a average egg weighs 60g , there is 5893 eggs in 1 cubic meter so a cubic meter of eggs weighs 353580 g or 0.35358 In conclusion eggs < rock

[@cosmologicalturtle9528]

Yeah but that doesn’t mean that you can break a rock by smashing 9 eggs into it. For that you’d have to consider the strength of the eggshell vs the strength of the rock and do way more maths than I’m willing to do.

The reason it’s only two missiles is because they’d only need to punch through the dam, not destroy it entirely. Once you punch a hole, the uncontrolled flow of water would widen the hole. The wider the hole, the greater the flow, thus creating a self fulfilling cycle that no amount of flex-seal could fix.

@@the2050th I'm going to presume this is a facetious comment not meant to be taken seriously given an overall hopefully sarcastic tone. But for all of the lunatics in media pretending or portraying this as a huge issue: The impact is fractions of a millisecond over the course of a year. The time-span to see an entire second of impact build up is in excess of a million years - and there are far more impactful factors at play well beyond our control. This is such a nothingburger and if we really wanted to have a change in impact: We would just require all long haul flights to start traveling in a single direction around the globe. And no: I'm not kidding about that. Take the moon: If we wanted to accelerate it's rotational speed, we could do so simply by getting enough people and robots and such travelling around it in one direction such that the counter action of motion we take imparts in the direction of rotation we want the moon to spin more in.

The thing about destroying a dam like the three gorges is that you don't have to destroy the whole thing. You only need to damage it enough so that water pressure end up destroying it or at the very least causing a massive flood that effectively does the same as if it was destroyed by missiles. For instance if you are able to puncture a hole or create a big enough crater from which water can leak at a decent pressure, the whole structure is doomed.

Sorry for the lag of Mathematics but from a Paleontology perspective, which is the only science I know to deal with rocks and eggs alike, the answer would be 1:1. One egg equals one rock.

Holy crap I came to the same conclusion via totally different method. 1 egg has 2.2gm CaCO2 and that is pretty much smack dead in the middle of Limestones density range so 1 egg = 1cubic cm of Limestone. Using the google average of Limestone rock with some liberties I came out to 318,564 eggs roughly. Now, since I was pedantic enough to figure all that out I may as well apply the same rigor to your post and mention the vast majority of eggs do not indeed become fossilized, so we come up against a problem. I swear if I look up and find out 1 in 300 thousand get fossilized ima 5shit bricks.

Okay, here's the math: a chicken eats about 3-4 grams of grit (tiny rocks) daily, which helps grind up food in their gizzard because they don’t have teeth. This translates to roughly 2-3 small pebbles per day. A healthy hen lays about 5-6 eggs per week, so roughly 1 egg every 1.2 days. If we assume the chicken consumes 3.5 grams of grit per day, over 1.2 days, that’s about 4.2 grams of grit per egg. With each pebble weighing about 1.5 grams, you end up with around 2.8 small pebbles consumed before each egg is laid!

[@marcoaorelio6409]

The first statement is wrong, the second statement is not relevant. 1) France produce over 500 TWh of electricity alone meanwhile the TGD produce around 100 TWh 2) the slowing is only 0.0000000001% (10^(-10)%) of the day lenght and there are 4 dams with a bigger reservoire volume and therefore bigger mass of water capable to slow earth rotation like the Ataturk dam in Turkey (20% more massive), the Samara dam in Russia (45% more massive), the Guri dam in Venezuela (240% more massive) and the Aswan dam in Egypt (330% more massive)

Just a quick note, MOABs aren't bunker-busters, they're fuel-air bombs.

That's about as many as are on ether side of the ukraine war at the moment. The difference being, that finland has a large reserve of about 900k trained people with 6 to 12 months of service and many having refresher training. Also, since Finland's (and taiwan's) economic value mostly come from intellectual property and the people, a total war (which it would be) would result in the offensive nation suffering at best a pyric victory and perhaps winning ruins. And more propably in a negative gain in value as partesan/commando/guerella trained finns would just do all kinds of fun stuff to the invader.
