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.
I absolutely despise how online retailers have always allowed sellers to use the most nonsensical classifications for certain item categories, to the point most categories’ filters are fucking useless
“User experience? Lol fuck that, browse endlessly you fucking peon!”
Everyone has their own way of doing things. In order to integrate them, you have to create your own way of doing things. Later, other people have to integrate your new schema with their own. It’s just the nature of working with many different companies
Okay, but what company measures hard drives in chickens?
Impossible to say how the screenshot came about. At some point, the semantics of someone’s data was misinterpreted. Something was called a hard drive when it isn’t, something was treated as a capacity when it isn’t
Just as a matter of interest, at the time of the screenshot I opened one of the “chickens” results and combed the page but failed to find any instance of the word (singular or otherwise). Today and yesterday, several people have asked me for the “chickens” results, which are sadly fewer now; however, one still exists within the constraints of the filters I applied. I still can find no instance of the word on the product page.
I’m sure the word “chicken” appears somewhere in the metadata, but it’s still a failure of the system and the UX.
edit: s/and/any/
Personally, I measure capacity in Tera-dactyls.
Since dactyl mean finger, which can also be translated as a digit, it kinda works. 🤔
It’s also a quantity of alcohol.
Nice.
How many 0 TB drives do i need to store this image?

I think I understood logarithms to some extent when I was in college … 25 years ago … but even if I still remember how they work, my brain’s not getting there tonight.
log 0 goes to -infinity, so the operation is illegal.
Well, thank you for explaining, but I guess now you have to be placed under arrest.
So it goes.
Is this a Vonnegut reference?
If so, I can’t respond positively enough.

Strangely (to me), most of the comments I’ve seen have been focused on the chickens, which are pretty funny; however, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone comment on the “1 person,” which - to me - is more concerning. Though if “Dennis” is a person (rather than a menace), perhaps that mitigates my concerns.
I was actually citing Homestar Runner with Dennis.

Ah, I suppose I should burninate my previous response.
Surprised nobody has linked this one yet:
Did it ever actually get made? I remember this.

I’d unironically buy that.
Can we see the six search results for chickens?
Unfortunately, I took that screenshot a while ago; if I do the same search again, I get only one “1 chickens” result, which I’ve linked elsewhere in the thread. It’s just a normal external drive, as far as I can tell, so I have no idea how “chickens” got involved.
The search was originally done on Walmart.com (I’m not proud but there aren’t a lot of retail options around my small town). All I did was search for “20tb external drive,” filter for “in store,” then open the “capacity” filter, which is what’s shown above. I’ve consistently gotten weird results so, unless it’s something specific to my local store, you probably will as well. If you do this, I’ll be curious of your findings.
Fae be it from me to Walmart shame. I have bought and will buy hardware from worse. ;) thanks for the reply
My pleasure, and I can relate to the first part. Hope you have a great weekend!
edit: Also, your username reminds me of this song, which comes highly recommended by my five-year-old.
That was a fantastic ride
The first time I showed it to my kid, they said “Daddy, what is reality?”
I still don’t know how to answer, especially in a way that makes sense of the video.
Kid, that is exactly what question that video was asking, and it doesn’t know the answer either.
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of
scienceexplaining things to 5-year-olds?

Much appreciated! I ended up ordering from Newegg, which had much more sensible filters. I had originally purchased what I wanted from Amazon, but the first one I got, ordered refurbished, had clearly been shucked and replaced with a 160GB drive from (IIRC) 2008 and the second one, ordered new, started audibly clicking one day into use.
For some reason (described by Amazon customer support as a “server glitch”) Amazon had a really tough time with the return of both of them. This drive is meant to back up a RAID attached to my file server, so I didn’t want to continue tempting fate by continuing to leave the server un-backed-up, which is why I was trying to find a place I could pick up one approximately the same day. I wasn’t able to find such a place, so I went with Newegg because it seemed like a bad idea to keep trying Amazon.
Wow, thanks for this
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
Only if you have a rooaster drive somewhere nearby.
Women ovulate whether or not there is a man around. If women could choose to not have menstrual cycles by not having intercourse with men I think we would have far more lesbians in this world haha
Huh, that should’ve been obvious, but here we are.
Meh, easier for me to remember because I have hens out back and more eggs than I know what to do with… give them away constantly and they still pile up
I’ve been considering getting chickens, but haven’t had time to properly set things up, any chance I could become your neighbor?
You can just take my place and I’ll go live out back with the chickens. The 4 older ones go spend half their day in the wooded area behind, I’m sure I could set up a fort back there and have an official forest chicken base.
They don’t come in furlongs anymore?
Hello I would like to deposit five chickens worth of information
Do you plan to just cluck into a microphone?
what a gift from the universe.

sing it to your family. it’s lovely
any results? emoji picker confused by numbers. 🐩 101
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.
Don’t look in the filters for pots.
