    Imagine dressing every day in green clothes covered in microchips and LCDs and li-ion batteries

      If everyone covered themselves in lithium ion batteries, gun fights in movies would get way more spectacular.

      flesh wound “I’m alright!” burst into flames

      “Sir, you’ve run the steam pipes directly into your goggles.”

      “I have a theory that the steam will reheat the low levels of light to daylight brightness and provide night vision!”

      “Sir, I don’t know how scientifically sound that…”

      Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

        I’m not gonna lie. I would watch the hell out of a show where wacky steam punk inventors find out about the unfortunate laws of physics and thermodynamics.

        Yeah, but think about it. Most energy nowadays comes from basically very hot water (steam) that runs through a turbine-driven generator. And integrated circuits are just very complex clocks.

      Burn coal, make steam, use steam to turn tubine, generate electricity, transmit electricity, receive electricity, pump into alarm clock, vibrate crystal, count vibrations, tell time. Checks out.

      Yeah, I get that it isn’t exactly a meme, but I wanted to share and I didn’t know a more appropriate community.
