The candle that burns four times as bright burns a quarter as long
... How dare you nerd snipe me
...
Now, if brightness is amplitude of light ... But is it? Is it like sound that we perceive logarithmically? And if it's burning wax at 4x the rate, will it be yet brighter because more of the gases ignite? Why is it burning faster? Has it four wicks? Thicker wick? Different geometry? Or does it imply a better oxygen source? If oxygen, again, maybe the same rate of wax burns brighter. Or maybe not: maybe it's as simple as, the same proportion of wax burns, releasing the same amount of light energy, in the same spectral distribution, as long as you stay within practical parameters (e.g. not hot enough to get secondary combustion - if that even happens for candle smoke). Okay so I think the candle burning 4x the rate will make 4x the light, in which case it's just a question of perception, but we can argue that brightness really is amplitude - or is it the square root because... bother my brain's gone blank but it's like an amplitude Vs magnitude thing but those are the same so it must be something else... But if we call amplitude brightness then I think yes, the same-mass candle burning at 4x brightness will burn out in a quarter of the time. Phew, I think I can correctly upvote your comment.
Wouldn't brightness be proportional to the square root of the amount of light released? Also they didn't mention the mass of the wax in the two candles.
That's right, light goes out in all directions, not all focused towards your eye. So the 4x as bright candle burns 16x as fast?
I assumed mass is kept constant. Or it would be, "the candle that burns four times as bright is really heavy."
Fuck you, shitass cats. Stop killing all the birds!
Keep your cats indoors, please.
The stray dogs outside keep my cat in.
Not to forget how flexible you are and where you can go with your tongue.
Yeah, but your tongue is covered in sandpaper.
Hey, no kink shame :)
Technically tiny flesh hooks.
So yeah, even better.
I read that a tiger's tongue is so abrasive they can lick the skin right off your body.
Kill billions of birds and only the Aussies dare retaliate.
Cats team up with emus.
Humans leave Australia.
What if cats just protect us from the gov*rnment?

What if the cats are working with the government to get rid of malfunctioning drones
I have never seen a cat in uniform.
And I don't say that just in hope of cute pictures
Iโve got 3/4 down.
Awww, you lack attention.
๐ช
Wait, which 3...this could be bad.
forgot to add, "wake up humans at 2am and go back to sleep immediately afterwards"
I started yelling at my cats randomly when they're sleeping just for a little payback.
Most of these describe my gamer sister growing up. Cute, sleepy, etc.
I'll admit, hiding the bodies growing up was tough work!
We got a LeyLey here
Well two out of four aint bad.. ๐ ๐
Sleeping all day and killing for fun ๐
Doesnt say the attention has to be positive either. ๐ ๐
these two are contradictory tho
I dispute "always cute." I knew a guy who had a cat that looked disturbingly similar to Mao Zedong. Like if Mao Zedong was a cat, he would look like that cat. I don't know how else to put it. But it sort of took away the cute factor and replaced it with a major creepiness one.
Was he called Meow Zedong?
Sadly, he was not.
Cats are easily the best looking being on the planet.
You forgot about me
No they didn't.
Do you also prefer the unavoidable estrus state that makes you horny against your will and takes over all your senses?
If your holders are responsible people, this will never happen.
And they won't let you out to kill all the birds either.
I already have that as a human male.
Death around every corner... they live a very exciting life
9 lives, going to the heaviside layer, pretty sweet.
