This is the same vibe as electric bulbs in videogames using real electricity
- Wait. What. Whoa
- Wait, so videogame lights are also physical real world lights...
- Only if you've got an OLED display, for LCDs you're using roughly the same energy as long as your display's backlight is on.
  
  They’re not talking the amount of use, but just the sheer fact that if you see an electric light in a video game, it’s being powered by real world electricity, just like a normal light is.
  
  The bits to make the light be shown by the cpu/gpu use the magic zip zap tho

Fun fact: the Titanic’s swimming pool was originally a salt water pool.

- Well, I don't think they switched to fresh water.
- So they got better at doing what they set out for!?
  Titanic: A Success Story
  
  The real reason it sank was to reunite the pool with it's mum.
- Mission accomplished

Unfortunately the water is no longer heated.
- But global warming seeks to fix that!

Hope they change it regularly, otherwise it's full of algae by now
- I think it's mostly full of dead guy at this depth.
  
  So maybe someone should dive there and replace them with new ones?

And you may ask yourself, “how did I get here?”

Ok dad

Yes, but what about the Olympic and Britannic?
