And with the gay of Council's Bad Nick

0:02

Junior Chamber you can keep your chicken hawk

0:04

ready to eat between rounds of Game It

0:06

We who in their right mind is going

0:09

to want to eat fried chicken in between

0:11

rounds of Call of Duty Hair Or now

0:13

who wouldn't want to eat my delicious fried

0:15

chicken is that game I feel of choice.

0:18

Anyone who doesn't want to have a lot

0:20

of napkins next to their desk? I could

0:22

not think of a greasy your food than

0:24

Fried Chicken Coop Away Or come on now

0:27

think of it as performance and heads in

0:29

the lubrication. There's. No way that

0:31

works. Mom matchmaking rank

0:33

doesn't lie. Hello

0:55

Internet. Welcome to Food Theory

0:57

is what I want to be,

0:59

you say? And but nope. Well,

1:02

guns in game theory. But how

1:04

does gaming and Kfc? Mix well the

1:06

to cross over a lot more. Than you'd

1:08

think. For instance, back in two thousand

1:10

and Fifteen, they released Colonel Quest, a

1:12

very real and very playable tribute to

1:14

old school gaming where you play as

1:17

Colonel Sanders and a variety of many

1:19

games like Baby Business where your objective

1:21

is to quote, catch as many babies

1:23

as you can so the Colonel won't

1:25

get sued for malpractice. There was also

1:27

Court Room Brawl where you play as

1:30

a lawyer in a game where you

1:32

experience the real trials and tribulations of

1:34

the legal profession like a owing the

1:36

client in under thirty. Seconds to earn

1:38

a gold drumstick. This is a real game.

1:40

Someone in caves these marketing department thought this

1:43

was the best way to spend their money

1:45

to get people to buy more fried chicken.

1:47

and frankly I couldn't be happier. They made

1:49

the right call. even made limited edition drumstick

1:52

shaped controllers to go with it. If old

1:54

school beat him up, sort your jam, no

1:56

worries, Kfc still has you covered. Head over

1:58

to Steam for the. Oh no. Price

2:00

of Free. And you can download I

2:02

love you Colonel Sanders. A finger licking

2:05

good dating simulator. As for how to

2:07

play these games well but I suggest

2:09

the Kfc branded controller for your expert

2:11

theory. That said if your Pc gamer

2:13

well Kfc got you covered their to

2:15

with their fried chicken keyboard mouse and

2:17

you a speed stick for all you

2:19

mobile game result their caves He hasn't

2:21

forgotten you either Have a gamer Xbox

2:23

two point know is a take. Out

2:25

Box that doubles as a

2:27

bluetooth controller and. For your

2:29

phone. And of course of course how

2:31

can we forget to have seen Foray

2:33

into the world A virtual reality that

2:35

right gamers invest in a Br set

2:38

up and huge you can experience the

2:40

hard way. A D C seemed to

2:42

escape room training demo. Either way it's

2:44

definitely a thing that has Kfc branded

2:46

that you can do is your Vr

2:48

headset. Just don't throw that seeking on

2:50

the floor of Colonel Sanders is leaves

2:52

or be miser going to intervene and

2:54

know that is not a joke that

2:56

actually happens in the game with at

2:58

Kfc. could just rebrand. Itself is kind

3:00

of funny content at this point. No. Admittedly,

3:02

all of these are things that Kfc is

3:04

done for the means him through the marketing

3:07

exposure, but all of them are also very

3:09

real items. That the company has actually

3:11

made so. When taste the and L

3:13

fleet last year that they were entering the

3:15

console wars and challenging Sony and Microsoft with

3:17

a council of their own the T S

3:20

console I wasn't surprised. and I wasn't about

3:22

to brush it off as a job even

3:24

if it was very clearly intended to be

3:26

one because you will presumably be able to

3:28

buy and own this console. Honestly, I'm just

3:31

hoping to see picks up the hint. We

3:33

could definitely use new editing computer and more

3:35

fried chicken Just say and all right so

3:37

let's get down to the nitty gritty shall

3:40

we? Technically, The Sink isn't really a. Console.

3:42

If you dig into the specs, it's

3:44

really more of a Kiss. He branded

3:46

Gaming Pc that's being built in partnership

3:48

with a Pc port company cooler Master,

3:50

but it does have one killer feature

3:52

that sets it apart from your typical

3:54

gaming Pc. The patent did a Chicken

3:56

Sieber. A chamber in your Pc

3:58

to keep your. In Warm

4:00

A You know what? I'm here

4:02

today to tell you that this

4:04

exists on a whole week creation

4:06

of self aware marketing made in

4:08

a modern capitalist dystopia. All the

4:10

gets you to buy more frickin'

4:12

fried chicken this today of console

4:14

with the Second Saber. It's actually

4:16

not as Dell The Zebra You

4:18

think. In fact, it's kind brilliance.

4:20

It might just have one. The

4:23

Council Wars Step aside. Ps. Five

4:25

The T of console systems.beads I'm

4:27

not even joking. I'm not. I

4:29

wish I wish. I was a state

4:31

to job see what I'm talking about.

4:33

According to Cooler Master, the Chicken Saber

4:35

keeps your food worn by utilizing the

4:37

systems natural seat and airflow easy and

4:39

deemed Council components, especially the Cp you

4:41

and graphics card tend to generate a

4:43

lot of seats and a big part

4:45

of any modern design is heat management.

4:48

This is usually done with fans event

4:50

hot air out. Of the system to keep

4:52

the components from overheating, the hot air is

4:54

usually expelled through vents in the back for

4:56

if you wanted x Box series x the

4:58

vents on the top of the system but

5:00

the key of console instead expel the hot

5:03

air into the second chamber so that your

5:05

Pc can double as a mini toaster oven.

5:07

Know that idea of using the excess heat

5:09

usually referred to as heat ways to warm

5:11

your food Seem like it's a novel idea.

5:13

What the crazy thing is, I can't see

5:15

isn't the first company to do this and

5:18

that's the concept. Has been around in a

5:20

consumer product since nineteen. Sixty Three with more

5:22

than sixteen million homes making use of

5:24

it. Ladies and gentlemen may I remind

5:26

you of that Easy Bake Oven member.

5:28

These pieces a jump the kid friendly

5:30

of is that had it for a

5:32

large enough to quote unquote cook for

5:34

cookies at a time pizza the size

5:36

of a quarter in common with a

5:39

pre mixed don't pack of a tasteful

5:41

a cardboard will be entire idea behind

5:43

that Easy Bake Oven was using seat

5:45

waste to cook. The reason it was

5:47

kid friendly was because it had no

5:49

built in heating element. Instead. It has

5:51

slots for incandescent light. bulbs incandescent

5:53

light bulbs like the components in your

5:55

pc generate quite a bit a heat

5:58

to be all that surprising considering Hey,

6:01

it's Kaylee Cuoco for Priceline. Ready to go to

6:03

6:05

6:09

So, whether it's Cousin Kevin's Kuzoo

6:11

6:13

Becky's Bachelorette Bash in Bermuda, you never

6:15

6:20

savings are waiting. Go

6:22

to your happy place for a

6:24

happy price. Go to

6:27

your happy price, Priceline. The

6:30

entire way those light bulbs work is by

6:32

heating a tungsten filament inside of them until

6:34

it becomes hot enough to glow. And instead

6:36

of just letting that heat float off into

6:39

the universe, pushing us that much closer to

6:41

our own inevitable heat death, the oven instead

6:43

used it to, you know, cook, kind of.

6:45

If you remember these things, well, you might

6:47

be one of the last generations to have

6:49

grown up with them because they're now

6:52

discontinued on account of modern light bulbs

6:54

being too efficient. That's true. While classic

6:56

incandescent light bulbs would generate a ton

6:58

of heat waste, modern fluorescent and

7:00

LED bulbs are just way more

7:02

efficient. That's great for the environment, but

7:04

bad for Hasbro's line of Easy Bake

7:06

ovens. Anyway, with that little history lesson

7:08

over, the takeaway here is that KFC's

7:10

chicken chamber is already a proven concept.

7:13

If two hundred watt incandescent bulbs are enough

7:15

to serve as a heating component for your

7:17

Easy Bake, then a gaming PC with a

7:19

650 watt power supply definitely can. Now,

7:24

that 650 watt power supply isn't 100% confirmed,

7:26

but it's the best estimate we have for

7:28

what a PC like this would need. We

7:30

can also confirm this by looking at

7:32

other master cooler pre-built systems with the same

7:34

specs. Of course, this leaves open a question.

7:36

Out of all of the power that the

7:39

PC consumes, how much heat waste is actually

7:41

getting generated? Just like we saw with

7:43

the Easy Bake oven, if the system gets too efficient, well,

7:45

our hot chicken is gonna be more like a cold turkey.

7:48

So place your bets, friends. If the PC is

7:50

consuming like we estimated 650 watts, how

7:52

much of that is actually gonna get converted to heat?

7:55

Go ahead and take a guess. 20%, 50%? The answer

7:57

is... Rom

8:00

wrong please. Almost

8:04

all of it's one thing about

8:06

remember from science classes, the First

8:08

Law of Thermodynamics which states that

8:10

energy has never lost. it only

8:12

changes form. And basically that means.

8:14

Every bit of energy that gets fed into

8:16

your computer's components will eventually get converted to

8:19

seat energy. As were to be any surprise

8:21

that the Cp you and Gp you have

8:23

your computer or the parts that usable power

8:25

are also the parts that said or is

8:27

the most seat. The only energy that says

8:30

is it converted into seat is energy that

8:32

takes other form of like the kinetic energy

8:34

of the moving parts of the fan or

8:36

the radiant energy from any fancy lighting system

8:38

that you might have in their executive council

8:40

is actually way more efficient of the easy

8:43

bake oven because that was. Powered by bulbs

8:45

that we're converting a lot of their power

8:47

into light instead of he's now compare that

8:49

to the Key of Thompson were over ninety.

8:52

Nine percent of the power that it consumes.

8:54

Obituary gets converted. Deceit. It's sort this Pc

8:56

is capable of effectively functioning like a six

8:58

hundred and fifty watt of the for comparison

9:01

a toaster oven typically uses about twelve hundred

9:03

watt so that he of cancel his do

9:05

with a half of surfaced have council. Might

9:07

take a bit longer to heal up your

9:10

frozen pizza role but it will get the

9:12

job of Dawn plus the market. This is

9:14

something to keep your food hot which is

9:16

something that it is more than adequate at.

9:19

I mean the seating lamps of the use

9:21

and fast food restaurants to keep your food

9:23

warm are usually. Only two hundred fifty was

9:25

so if there was any doubt your mind

9:27

that can't cancel could as advertised, keep your

9:30

chicken out and ready to eat. Worry no

9:32

more friends, it is more than up to

9:34

the task. But that's only half the equation

9:36

here because the entire point of the cave

9:38

councils to consumer is that it serves as

9:41

a heating system for the food. well also

9:43

serving as a cooling system for the Pc

9:45

itself. Of her all the reason you want

9:47

the Pc to draw he'd away from the

9:49

Cp you a Gp was the keep it

9:51

from overheating. That means that in an ideal.

9:54

World are foods would be absorbing as

9:56

much as a seat as possible. The

9:58

more heat the food absorbs, the. Peters

10:00

left a leak out of the chicken chamber

10:02

and back into the system or chicken chamber

10:04

essentially. Have to work as a seat

10:07

see if it doesn't the computer is

10:09

gonna fry itself. So how good of

10:11

a seed sings is fried chicken Laura

10:13

looking for is something with high iceberg

10:15

volumetric see capacity which is just a

10:17

measure of how much he to substances

10:19

capable of absorbing auto he's in. This

10:21

is the kind of thing that's been

10:23

printed in the tables of hundreds of

10:25

material science textbooks. You foresee the book

10:27

from that metallurgy glass that you took

10:29

the pill freshmen sides requirements that the

10:31

I know this may well luckily I

10:33

got you covered. Ranking substances by. Iceberg

10:35

volumetric heat capacity of the top a

10:37

list is Water Good old age to

10:40

oh yeah, syncope. As much of a

10:42

surprise, water is one of the most

10:44

common coolants used in power plants around

10:46

the world. Maybe even your computer has

10:49

itself a water cooled system after water.

10:51

Com metals like steel, iron, beryllium in

10:53

topper, all of which are pretty commonly

10:55

used Medals in computer heat sink following

10:57

these metals is liquid ammonia which isn't

11:00

very practical for our purposes considering that

11:02

a movie as a gas at room

11:04

temperature. Right after that is animal

11:06

tissue. The Wikipedia version of the

11:08

table notes animal tissue parentheses including

11:10

human, which, well, very true is

11:12

also a very strange thing to

11:15

point out. Anyway, all of this

11:17

is great news for the can

11:19

console because animals issue in the

11:21

context of a kitchen is better

11:23

known as meets. As it turns

11:25

out, meat has an incredibly high

11:27

specific heat capacity, thereby making it

11:29

great at absorbing heat ways to

11:31

them Quite as good as water,

11:33

but pretty soon close being eighty.

11:35

Eight percent as effective. So if you're

11:37

the ultimate try hard gamer who wants

11:39

to min max optimal chicken sieber He

11:41

thinks the answer is to put in

11:43

some water and if you're willing to

11:45

make some concessions for the sake of

11:47

flavor, maybe out of flavor packet is

11:49

there to make some broth are super

11:51

something what you're almost just as good

11:53

use of the kid's. Tonsils hat

11:55

the chicken saber exactly. As

11:58

they advertise their for keeping your

12:00

chicken hot and ready and your

12:02

computer cool and performance optimize to

12:05

do that. A convoy deal that

12:07

seem like it was just for

12:09

the means could actually produce a

12:11

cooling solution that is literally a

12:13

certain figuratively pretty dang cool to

12:16

Can I have a council now

12:18

please? But hey, that's just still

12:20

Theory of Game Theory food series.

12:22

Either way, born Empathy.
