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

So, whether it's Cousin Kevin's Kuzoo
6:11

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.
