lmao even the wii guy looks like the canister
Is that a healthy weight for a gas canister? 🤔
That’s beyond obese, no way that’s healthy. Gotta burn that weight one way or another!
idk the BMI is kinda high.
The PSI looks a bit high as well
Early 2000s problems require early 2000s solutions.
Yeah, i said canister had a good posture, how did Wii know?
By the way, I recently heard someone commenting that your posture looked good.
Seeing this on the screen would absolutely freak my 8yo autistic ass out. There are other entities that the Wii Trainer talks to? And they find it normal to casually comment on people’s posture?
This is why I don’t play Nintendo games I guess; the small talk in Animal Crossing would just leave me scarred.
least autistic Lemmy user (I’m just as autistic, we all are)
I love that they made an avatar for it 😆
That’s how i want my canisters: with good posture
That gas can is the apex of fitness
Ain’t stupid if it works!
Why would anyone weight their gas canister?
Probably to see how much fuel is left in it
Boiling the jug and pouring a bit of hot water on the cylinder seems like it’d be less work than digging out the Wii fit gear, unless of course they use it more regularly rather than just for weighing gas bottles.
How does that tell how much fuel is left?
You pour a bit of boiling water down the side of the cylinder then run your hand down where you poured the water - you will feel a clear delineation in the temperature of the cylinder at the level of the liquid gas inside.
The method described reveals the level of liquid within the container. There is a distinct difference above and below.
But that is very inaccurate…
It’s the most accurate way to measure fuel in a tank. Pressure gauges are much less useful.
They usually come with a tare (empty) weight stamped on them. Total weight minus the weight = gas weight
It doesn’t need to be super accurate, just enough to tell them if they’ll need to get a new one soon or not. They could probably just pick it up and guess, but at least this gives them a number to track.
My grill literally has a gauge that works off the weight of the tank. I think it’s prolly accurate enough. Propane tanks are mass produced to fairly rigorous specs, as they have to contain pressure for safety.
Did this many times to weigh suitcases before a flight
