Your brain burns 400-500 calories a day.
That’s about a fifth of your total energy requirements. Most of this is concerned with the largely automatic process of controlling your muscles and processing sensory input, although some studies show solving tricky problems increases your brain's metabolic requirements too.

63 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b 19 Jul
Would you like to do them? I can send you the sats for the bounties on some cadence. 10k each contest should do it.
reply
I will give it a shot. Full credit to @oliverweiss for trying this user activated version but it doesn't seem to get the traction the SN posts did.
What time do you want them posted on Monday and Friday?

I'd like to sponsor a meme contest sometime in ~aliens_and_UFOs, I'll add 15k to the bounty. Winner has to reference both bitcoin AND aliens, UFOs, Non-Human Intelligences, ETs, etc...

Was scrolling through old meme bounties. Looks like KR was doing 25k sat bounties but some are 10k sats. I think 10k is enough to generate some excitement. I am going with 10k bounty on Monday.
