Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Its all EROI just like oil and such. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investment As long as its above one and there are no better alternatives it might make sense.
yeah, the average power plant is one of the heaviest power and resource consuming devices in a given area. it's still a net positive, but making energy and refining crude fossil fuels is difficult and expensive.
Yeah well again though it's about comparing it to say pop in and scare as the initial method. They never really gave a notable difference in say how many screams could be extracted per kidnapped kid per day versus say how many the door scare teams were making etc... So it's difficult to compare the EROI between the 2. (and of course that's ignoring the laughter method, as we can assume that's discovery wasn't made until the end of the movie).
and that's of course before factoring in the issues that simply would arrise from kidnapping sentient humans. IE a significant event of human children vanishing from beds would inevitably lead to a cross dimensional war.
thing is. I know this is surprising. But many in leadership positions do not think far ahead enough in terms of consequences.
