Isn’t it “cal” vs “kcal” (kilocalories), as in 1000cal?
Yes. The “kilogram calorie” is just confidently incorrect shit.
Technically, yeah, 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal), but in a lot of places (e.g. Americuh), we use the “Calorie” (with a capital C) in place of the kilocalorie.
In other words:
1 kilocalorie = 1 Calorie = 1000 calories (1 kcal = 1 Cal = 1000 cal)
Yes, it is exactly as stupid as it sounds.
Wow, at the beginning I thought you were joking
It’s plausible that it’s talking about electrical energy (Escalator, Lift etc) rather than physical. Though yeah I get where you’re coming from, would bother me also.
Y’all are taking this sign too literally. It’s pretty common to refer to electricity more generally as “energy.”
3 common words for electricity and the most sensible one is the least used
