 @chaosmonkey @saxicola For the comparable queries with at least chatbot-level accuracy: 15 minutes, or a quarter of an hour. (...continued in next post) 6 comments
 @shadowfals @chaosmonkey @saxicola @shadowfals I always welcome and appreciate open, honest, transparent and civil discourse / reactions based on facts and logic. ๐ The calculation has definitely given me food for thought. @chaosmonkey @shadowfals @shadowfals @saxicola I appreciate the calculation and by extension your transparency. โค๏ธ Personally I would probably have started with the premise of "the average person requires at least two litres of water per day" but that's what I'm used to. I think I'll try out some similar calculations. Maybe create a site where people can compare energy expenditure between various things like "the average google search" or "three minutes of youtube" @chaosmonkey where I live, cups are more commonly used as measurement. I had to look up the conversion to litres. Starting with litres would definitely be simpler! |

I needed something quick for how much water the model person would use. That was "an average person needs eight cups of water a day".
8 cups / 24 hours = 0.3333 cups/hour
A quarter of that is 0.0833 cups / 15 minutes.
1.000 litre = 4.227 cups
0.0833 / 4.227 = 0.0197 litres
But I'd needed half a litre, not a litre in the conversion, so the number is doubled for 0.0394.
As a percentage, that's rounded to 4%.
