I’m not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it’s probably more than the number of persons I can fit.
How many 0 TB drives do i need to store this image?
Undefined
∞
Personally, I measure capacity in Tera-dactyls.
Since dactyl mean finger, which can also be translated as a digit, it kinda works. 🤔
Nice.
They don’t come in furlongs anymore?
Surprised nobody has linked this one yet:
Did it ever actually get made? I remember this.

Automation has truly ruined online shopping. These days you can order from a respectable brandname on a big company website and find out later the seller is actually nanchangshishengyuedianzishangwuyouxiangongsi and they sent you a completely different product than advertised.
I remember back in 2013 I built a PC for my wife, and in 2014 one for myself. At that point, buying something online still felt a bit odd. It was reserved for specialty items, shipping would often take at least 2 weeks, or even 6 weeks depending on where it was coming from. I was no stranger to purchasing online, but brick-and-mortar stores with real stock still existed and could get me what I purchased much more quickly.
I remember being so impressed with Newegg’s website. It made it so easy to build a computer and make sure everything was compatible. It was really easy to compare different options. The filter system was intuitive and comprehensive. I remember thinking “wow this is a perfect shopping experience. The future has arrived”.
I went to build my next PC in 2019, and dear Satan was it so much worse. I had heard about Newegg getting bought out by a larger company in 2016, and it showed. They opened it up to 3rd party sellers. The filters got clogged with garbage and don’t seem to work properly anymore. The sort function became a joke. The UI got rearranged to be less intuitive. I think they purposefylly wanted to make a worse shopping experience to make people frustrated, to get them to give up on looking for deals and pay a bit extra just to be done with it. I ended up having to go to a 3rd party website (PCPartPicker) to figure out what I needed and where to get it. And some of those parts I had to order on eBay (some even from Newegg’s eBay account which is just… Why are we doing this?), some on Amazon or Best Buy. And it’s only gotten worse since.
This same experience has happened everywhere. Just this morning my wife was checking out Culture Hustle to see if they have any interesting new paints and commented on how much worse the website was now than when we last used it a few years ago.
This may make me sound like an old curmudgeon yelling at clouds, but I think the Internet peaked a while ago. There are arguments over exactly when, but sometime between 2008-2016. I remember in 2012 in talking to my fellow students about how Google search results were getting worse.
It’s weird how Amazon kind of pushed every online store into becoming eBay (without the bidding… Do people still use eBay for auctions?)
Every electronic I own is basically from an eBay auction. It’s a great place to buy from, their buyer protection is borderline too good… not such a great place to sell on. Although, what are you going to do, go to their other big competitors?..
The bidding is actually the main reason I never once used eBay but do use regular online store like Amazon.
im getting the new WD Black 1 chicken drive. the RD/RW speeds blow SSD’s out of the water.
If you’ve had it for long enough you start to find Easter eggs in the game
Hello I would like to deposit five chickens worth of information
Do you plan to just cluck into a microphone?
“Hm… 1 chicken or 1 chickens… 🤔”
Hold up. There are six 1 chickens? I gotta see what a 1 chickens capacity drive looks like.
The six 1 chickens are for RAID
Redundant Avians In Drive?
1 Chicken is measured by the cut size. The smallest currently is measured in bites. Here is a 3lb partition…
Do they come in terabites?
Cubes?! Well I’ll be darn, we got solid-state chicken now.
Wut.
Guaranteed source of iodine? Mmmm
I think a cube is equivalent to a byte
No, a cube is clearly slang for a qubit or quantum bit so we are dealing with storage for a quantum computer.
The filters are different today and only one result shows up, but apparently this is a 1 chickens drive: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Universal-500G-USB3-0-External-Hard-Disc-HDD-State-Drive-Notebook-Desktop-for-Flash-Deals-Women-Men-New-Blue/9815853058
If you’re curious enough to reproduce the results yourself, obviously it’s Walmart (I’m not proud, but they’re the only store within an hour of my small town that carries essentially any electronics at all). I got the results searching for “20tb external drive” (not carried, it turns out) and trying to filter by capacity and in-store, but I imagine you could perform a less specific search and perhaps get even more amusing filters.
I’m gonna upgrade to the 0 TB hard drive pretty soon so everything stops using up so much storage
Sigh. How many times do I have to keep telling people… 0TB ≠ 0 TiB. One is a marketing gimmick that makes it look like you’re getting more capacity than is actually available. You think you’re getting 0TB when you’re actually only getting 0TiB.
You do get 0 TB though not just 0 TiB. It’s also a way better and proper way of measuring and is the ISO standard.
0 TB means 0 terabyte. Tera means trillion and with 0 terabytes you do get 0 trillion bytes (0e+12)
It can be ∞ TB if you inverse it by instead uploading to cloud 😏🤏🏻
are you saying all I need to do is reverse the polarity?
Just today I was trying to look for something at homedepot and not only were the filters exactly like that, but they were also additive. So if I selected both “1 chicken” and “1 chickens” to cover both spellings, it would say 0 results because no product matches both at the same time.
I haven’t had this problem that I can recall with online shopping, but I have definitely encountered it when searching Jira tickets.
Actually, some of my most successful online shopping (or at least filtering) has been at Home Depot. They indicate where items are in their store very specifically (and usually accurately) and most of them even have Google Maps of the inside of their store. Because I can precisely locate something before I go there, I know exactly where to go when I do and can be in and out very quickly. It’s wonderful.
The screenshot is from Walmart. Their accuracy is much more questionable. I didn’t see a single chicken last time I visited. Joking aside, the website has indicated that an item was in stock in an aisle that didn’t even exist (I think it was looking at another store despite me confirming multiple times which one I had set).
In Jira that counts as a feature because Jira is explicitly designed to be as painful as possible to work with.
Sad but true.
That’s multiplicative, no? Conjunctive rather than disjunctive.
It sounds like it’s set up as an AND search, rather than the OR that any normal person would expect here.
Yeah, that’s what I mean with conjunctive instead of disjunctive.
This shit infuriates me. It is trivial to add an option for “and/or” when you have multiple checkboxes.
You don’t even really need an option for fields that are single value and compared by equality. Two distinct values for that only ever make sense as an OR filter.
Alright, let’s do some math.
According to a quick search, chicken wire weighs about 0.07537 lbs/ft^2 (sorry for using yeehaw units). When building a chicken run, you need about 10 ft^2 of ground area per chicken, which will use around 50 ft^2 of chicken wire, give or take. This comes to 3.7685 lbs of chicken wire.
Another quick search shows the average hard drive is about 1.38 lbs, which means the average hard drive has a capacity of only 0.366 chickens. Which makes the 1 chicken capacity drives quite competitive, really.
Just be careful, it might weigh your case down quite a bit.
Well, you’ve sold me on it. I’ll go buy the one chicken drive now.
640 kilochickens ought to be enough for anybody.
Only if you eat fewer than 20 chickens per day.
I would hope no individual eats 20 chickens a day. Like damn that’s a lot of chicken.
I wouldn’t put it beyond some people to only use a single part (say only the wings) and throw away the rest.
Yeah, you definitely don’t want to get one that only holds 1 chicken. The extra money is worth it to hold 1 chickens.
How many chickens can the 0 TB drive store, I wonder?
No no, that’s 0 Tuberculosis.
Probably about as much as 1 person.
