Y’all are taking this sign too literally. It’s pretty common to refer to electricity more generally as “energy.”
3 common words for electricity and the most sensible one is the least used
Isn’t it “cal” vs “kcal” (kilocalories), as in 1000cal?
Technically, yeah, 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal), but in a lot of places (e.g. Americuh), we use the “Calorie” (with a capital C) in place of the kilocalorie.
In other words:
1 kilocalorie = 1 Calorie = 1000 calories (1 kcal = 1 Cal = 1000 cal)Yes, it is exactly as stupid as it sounds.
Wow, at the beginning I thought you were joking
I wish I were joking. Lol.
That’s why they can’t have nice things
Trust me, I wish we made more sense. It would make my life a hell of a lot easier. Lol.
Not being bothered by stuff like this seems to be one of the reasons people start using terms that are actually wrong instead of just ambiguous. Like 2K to describe QHD.
I will never let that one go.
Yes. The “kilogram calorie” is just confidently incorrect shit.
It’s plausible that it’s talking about electrical energy (Escalator, Lift etc) rather than physical. Though yeah I get where you’re coming from, would bother me also.
