People seem to be more attached to ideas they had themselves, rather than ones others tell them. I suspect it’s more successful to lead them to a conclusion they feel they came to on their own.

Surely all plants adapted to be on the outside, unless the dinosaurs had greenhouses.

Traditional pizza isn’t all that high in carbs. The US style pizza pies are.

Another reason they choose to demonise immigrants is because they can spin rhetoric that energises the working and middle classes together, like a 2-for-1 deal.

They convince the working classes that immigrants are stealing their jobs and abusing benefits. They convince the middle classes that immigrants cause more crime.

They have influence over social media algorithms to ensure that each demographic gets the message that most infuriates them.

Finally, with all the hate stirred up, their chosen political allies/pets can make a promise to crack down on immigration and gain the votes for both demographics in one go.

I thought it was a fancy letter o. Everyone loves nodes.

Whilst this answer is correct, it’s not entirely accurate, because it is dismissive of the root cause. The logical follow-up question is: “Why is energy billed in kWh?”. If the question/cycle answer continues down this line there will probably be an answer like “because <some person> had to make a decision once, and they chose this because of <some reason>, and now we’re all stuck with it because of convention.”

Anyone who doesn’t understand what joules are probably doesn’t understand what kWh are either. If the billing convention (and every other power consumption label) used joules (of course MJ or GJ) instead, then most people would just accept that as the unit of billing and measurement, and those who understand what the units mean would have an easier time of it.

I am glad someone else has noticed this. Why is my TV’s power consumption reported in kWh/1000 hours?
