1 post in the last hour and it's "how much does a cornflake weigh?

We're going with "1 gram" btw

According to Einstein's famous formula, (E=Mc², or energy = mass times the speed of light squared,) you would need 8.98755179 × 10^13 joules of energy to make a cornflake exist out of pure energy alone.*

*if I got my maths right

Energy (in jules) required to create a cornflake out of thin air: 89,875,517,873,681.77

Energy (in joules) output by 1 cornflake: 16,000

Therefore, according to Einstein, you would need 5,617,219,867.10511 cornflakes to make 1 cornflake

Now never talk to me about cornflakes again!

@Ivafakename I love how cornflakes were a total accident because kellogg was a massive fundie weirdo and made branflakes to try and stop people masturbating (like I said, he was hyper religious) but some of the corn went off and they used it anyway and it turned out it was delicious so his brother went "holy crap we can make money off this instead of feeding gross bland tripe to people" and sold it against the main dude's wishes and he threw a hissy fit?

@Nine wait what? I thought cornflakes stopped masturbation, not bran flakes?

@Ivafakename Sorta? But also not. basically, John Harvey Kellogg ran a sanitarium, he firmly believed spicy or sweet foods would "increase passions" or some such, but yeah the strict diet he imposed at his sanitarium was all bland foods. entirely.
His younger brother left some cooked wheat to sit out while they attended some pressing matters, so it went stale, but due to the strict budget they forced it through the rollers, wanting to obtain long sheets of dough. Instead, they got flakes.
