I always wondered with this experiment why burning the food gives an accurate measure of calories? Obviously our digestion doesn’t literally burn the food, so how are the two processes analogous?
You do oxidize food in your gut. Maybe not as completely as burning it. But in a proper bomb calorimeter, it is sealed if that helps it make more sense.
Thanks for that. I guess in my head I feel there must be so much more to it. I need to read into it all

tbh I clicked on “comments” thinking “guarantee imma find the best reply from someone from hexbear” lawl
I had a brief moment of regret after posting because I realized I could have collected downvotes if I had switched to an account that would federate with .worldAhhh I didn’t realize world was defedersted from hexbear! I’m happy db0 doesn’t defederate with many places, as far as I know. I know hexbear and this instance haven’t gotten along in the past but a lotta my values line up with both instances most of the time, and a ton of bangers come from bears.
They were so scared of the bearsite that they needed to “preemptively defederate” “as a last resort”
It would be terrible if their ideological masters let them think for themselves!
The only way to protect yourself from the evil authoritarians is to become one.
Cracker fire water
Are nutritional/digested calories actual equal to their combustion energy?
It’s within a percent.
It’s kinda like The Matrix. Or, maybe I didn’t understand that movie.
Safe, clean, and renewable. It’s the energy source of the future.

Guess that’s one way to measure the calories of a cracker.
Related: a guy in Poland posted online about buying supermarket donuts to use as fuel in a wood-burning stove. The donuts turned out an order of magnitude cheaper than firewood.
Yeah I think i remember seeing that. The donuts were like 90% for some holiday
Poland is still fairly religious and I’ve heard accounts of the amount some people eat on Fat Thursday on the leadup to Easter. Pretty sure that a specific type of donut is quite popular for it. So yeah, probably related
Dude who downvoted you: How dare you be relevant, insightful, and correct.
That suggests you could mix flour and vegetable oil and maybe dry it into bricks which might be cheaper than donuts usual are. I wonder how dirty that burns…
Maybe the frying is the special sauce in making them more flammable? Fry donuts with a donut-fueled stove to get more donuts for fuel.
I wish donuts were that cheap near me. The dollars to donuts phrase has been backward for like at least 10 years in my area.
