This is the same vibe as electric bulbs in videogames using real electricity

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 32 points 2 months ago

Wait. What. Whoa

[–] dumptruck@lemmings.world 7 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

Even the shadows are, just like a normal shadow

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.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 months ago

Well, I don't think they switched to fresh water.

So they got better at doing what they set out for!?

The real reason it sank was to reunite the pool with it's mum.

There's no place like home?

Mission accomplished

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately the water is no longer heated.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

But global warming seeks to fix that!

Hope they change it regularly, otherwise it's full of algae by now

[–] dumptruck@lemmings.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think it's mostly full of dead guy at this depth.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

So maybe someone should dive there and replace them with new ones?

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 2 months ago

Yes, but what about the Olympic and Britannic?

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
