<Phase4> what if you buttered both sides of the toast?
<Sanchal> You don't get quite as much torque as strapping the toast to the cat.
<Sanchal> You'd get even more torque if you could somehow find a way to get two cats to stay back to back long enough to secure them together without losing an arm in the process of failing.
<Phase4> why not more toast to the same cat?
<Phase4> surely that would increase torque without requiring additional cats
<Sanchal> That could work, though eventually you'd need more cat to make use of the toast.
<Sanchal> Otherwise the toast would eventually overpower the cat and bring the whole thing to a halt.
<Phase4> ah
<Phase4> man, energy would be a very different industry if that worked
<Phase4> and you'd have vegan power providers for people who aren't comfortable with the use of cats for power generation
<Phase4> that is a question, would cats survive the process? if not do deceased cats still produce the effect?
<Sanchal> Now you're asking the real questions.
<Sanchal> And if the process isn't fatal, how would we stop the production of power to let them eat and such?
<Phase4> perhaps you could just attach two pieces of toast together
<Phase4> lower torque but with enough strenthening it could run indefinitely
* Phase4 goes off to butter toast
<Sanchal> I guess it would just take up more space for the same amount of power.
<Phase4> and since it's vegan you could sell it for a premium
<Sanchal> Being easy as it is, it wouldn't be difficult to just stack units on top of each other in large towers.
<Phase4> unless... butter would be an issue, vegitarian power i guess
<Sanchal> We could finally fuel an electric powered rocket to leave the solar system.
<Phase4> i doubt canola spreads work
<Sanchal> I guess, if you really wanted to, you could probably make butter from human milk.
<Sanchal> Would that count as vegan?
<Phase4> with pure buttered toast you could miniaturize it
<Phase4> nano-toast reactors
<Sanchal> Spend a little time and some of the infinite energy to calculate the most efficient way to pack as many toast turbines into a set volume as possible.
<Phase4> this is very silly
<Sanchal> But we're having such a serious conversation about it.
