Meme Thread... no politics

In reply to Toyman! :

I don't know about the AE86, but I am pretty sure the Miata has about 1350ft-lb in First gear, 354 in 5th.  Unless the drill has a gear reduction too 

And if that drill really does have that kind of torque, where are the handles for it?  Or is this one of those "max torque at zero RPM!!!1" things where after it actually starts moving, torque drops like a rock?  When I torque a nut to 350ft-lb I use two hands on a 4' long cheater bar, with a similarly long bar bolted to the flywheel that I brace against my belly...

I remember when everything at McD's was prewrapped on a shelf behind the cashier so they could just grab it and put it on a tray. You know, "fast food".

Now it's assembled "fresh". It's still garbage but now I gotta wait for it.

That was when people didn't ask for nearly as many special orders. People would even get cranky sometimes when you got a special order. Nowadays almost every order adds or subtracts something. Part of that has to do with the fact the number of ingredients has gone way up.

It's Burger King's fault - they encouraged people to order it "their way" back in 1974.

yes, ish.  At 10 rpm that's 0.6hp which seems feasible.  20 is 1.2hp... so maybe it could do that peak output for a short burst?

I don't write them. I steal them. It's a joke thread. Don't take it so seriously.

I was delivering them when the axe came down. We used to call them loads of fluff.

And that's before you get into the torque multiplication aspects of torque converters.

If either a Miata or an AE86 has a torque converter, the damn thing better be in the trunk and on the way to the dump.

And here's an unrelated meme.

All electric motor develope maximum torque at zero rpm. The curve thereafter is different for different motors.

And the other part of it is that there seem to be far more entitled shiny happy people who feel that by virtue of them paying $4.99 for a sandwich they deserve to have said sandwich _exactly_ the way they want it, and get super pissy if the minimum wager working hour 11 of a 13 hour shift on the other side of the formica berkeleys it up.

Not to mention the stunningly higher amounts of "allergies" everyone seems to have nowadays...possibly caused by decades of ingesting garbage masquerading as "food".

Okay, food theme, huh?

And, expanding the definition of "food".

There were also like three items on the menu.

They also threw away a lot of pre-made food at the end of the day.  I remember, as a little kid during the foam clamshell era, one of my aunts complaining that they were not allowed to donate all that food to a homeless shelter or something.
