"if you slap a chicken at 3726 mph, it will be cooked." Certainly holds true for the Gen Z sense of the word.
Because if something “slaps” then it’s “cooked”? I thought slaps was good.

#62I don’t think I agree with the assertion that instantly bringing the chicken up to temp wouldn’t result in it being cooked. Especially since the classic solution got the chicken up to 400F. I don’t care how fast it cools off, if we assume magic uniform heat distribution from the slap, starting at 400 F, all the proteins are gonna be denatured and the diseases killed.
I was going to post the same thing, so I'll upvote your post instead. I think there's a misunderstanding here that for meat to be done, it needs to stay above temperature X for Y minutes. In reality, the chemical reactions occur in milliseconds once you reach the required temperature.

#63Spiritual successor of this is how many slap's it take's to cook a chicken. There was a viral video on this a few year's ago rather funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHFhnnTWMgI
I should have checked the comments first: I currently have the URL for this video on my clipboard, ready to paste into a comment, but you beat me :-)

#64I still need to know how fast I need to ride my bike to not freeze my hands, when biking during the winter without mittens. There has to be some sweet spot where my hands a warm, but not burning.
I knew there was an What If? from xkcd about this. It's the fifth question in this short answer collection:

#66If we're considering unconventional cooking methods, what about orbital re-entry cooking, or atmospheric friction cooking in general? What speed/altitude would a plane need to be travelling at to lob a chicken out the window and have it perfectly cooked when it hit land?
SR-71 external temp reached 600F or so at Mach-3, so that might result in a charred chicken.

#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think it would negatively affect the visual appearance and texture of said chicken.
Purely a matter of personal taste. Chicken pate on toast is popular in many regions.
Ladies and gents, please help yourself to breakfast. Bread is by the toaster, butter and jam is on the table. The chicken pâte will be on the large wall once the chef finishes loading up the howitzer.

Joe Barnard of BPS.Space cooked a piece of meat in the nosecone of a high power model rocket he built for this purpose.

#70Chicken sized 74C object radiates at 2kW? Probably cools rather fast, but still feels like high number... Energy in general really feels weird, when you look at the numbers. Like potential energy or kinetic on relatively low speeds... And then compared to chemical energy... Edit: Also how do you get it there? Wouldn't you need to hit it with higher frequency to start with to get to temp?
Your intuition is right in this case. A 2kW oven is more than enough to heat small chicken up to temperature. The author lazily took the 165F temperature and put it into a blackbody calculator without converting the units. Anything but the metric system... Assuming the chicken has a surface area A=1m^2 (corresponding to a perfectly spherical chicken of radius=25cm/diameter=50cm, a little bigger than usual) and is a p…

Where did they even get 165F from in the first place? The “classic solution” article uses 400F, a much more appropriate oven temperature.
