Let’s assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked.
Remind me never to let this guy cook for me.

😭 chicken dry as a bone. I think they were conflating the oven temp with the desired internal temp (165 F is the safe minumum for poultry for the curious, so 400 F would be well done to say the least)
general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Dry as a bone would be an understatement, it would be charcoal in a puddle of fat at that temp
loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Tbf, he doesn’t account for the loss of heat at all, so it’s good that he’s taking a big margin.
samus12345@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Oh, in that case it only needs 9,213 slaps (delivered near-simultaneously) or a single slap at 1,490 mph.
GreatRam@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Also why is it starting off frozen
SpeakerToLampposts@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Julia Child did some 400° cooking, for a science-oriented TV series called “The Ring of Truth”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3mjb9BSaU&t=850s
Later in the episode, she got to cook a diamond to amorphous carbon. “I’ll remember that recipe – one carat diamond, two and a half hours, three thousand degrees”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3mjb9BSaU&t=1458sdeclination@programming.dev 2 months ago
His roasts be literally disgusting. He’s off by 2x. Does that mean I only have to slap the chicken at about 2k mph to cook it like a normal person.
Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
You can’t cook chicken with math, it’s out of this guys wheelhouse
bebabalula@feddit.dk 2 months ago
What I learned from this is never let a physics major cook you dinner, unless you want charcoal for chicken (200C !?!)
Hugin@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah 60c is done for chicken. That’s where meat goes from pink to white.
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 months ago
And they didn’t defrost it first 🫠
Fermion@feddit.nl 2 months ago
0 C wouldn’t quite be frozen solid for chicken since it’s not pure water. So technically it is defrosted, but it should start out closer to 10 C for good results.
HoustonHenry@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was gonna say to start laying off when it gets to 165F, I don’t think residual heat will help in this case 😁
deo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Luckily, it’s a linear relationship and they gave us the temp change per slap. So, if we assume the chicken has thawed in the fridge (40°F) and we want to reach 165°F for food safety, we only need
(165 - 40)°F * (5°C / 9°F) / (0.0089 °C / slap) = 7803 slaps
Although, to be honest I think this would only work for a spherical chicken in a vacuum, as otherwise you’d be losing too much heat between slaps. And even in a vacuum, you’d lose some heat via radiation… So really, you should stick a temperature probe in there and just keep slapping until it reaches 165°F. Don’t even bother counting.
Sorry for the silly units, I only know food safety temperatures off the top of my head in °F.
Maturin@hexbear.net 2 months ago
don’t even bother counting.
Wish I had know this tip earlier. Got to five thousand something, lost count and had to start over.
davidgro@lemmy.world 2 months ago
But it only needs to reach 165°F, about 74°C.
Basically every food package says so.RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
Dude is cooking chickcoal
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Now that we’ve discovered how to slap coal into existence, how much force would it take to turn a frozen Butterball into a diamond?
bluemellophone@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’ll 100% be chickcoal since the hand will be pushing Mach 5. Pretty sure the plasma will give it a nice sear.
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
This is correct; always cook to temp.
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
205°C? You’re slapping your chicken too long, son.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
To be clear, the slapping would have to be done in one single second to account for heat loss to environment.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What if you wrap it in a blanket?
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s expected there will be some heat loss over time in any scenario, I’m just explaining that the exact numbers to reach 200C chicken (way overcooked) in this very specific example only work if it happens near instantly.
COASTER1921@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
There was a viral YouTube video of doing exactly this a few years back.
FlorianSimon@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Damn, this thing slaps
Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
One thing to note, actually cooking something requires an application of heat over time. Instantaneous heat transfer will not cook, it will usually just burn.
Some people say you can use a nuke to cook a pizza if you put it in the right spot, but the same problem would apply.
Related, some guy did actually slap a chicken into being cooked. It was predictably disgusting:
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
It is about 1:06 when I first heard him call it a meat beater.
He needed a faster meat better. Bruva, we are right here!
Stitch0815@feddit.org 2 months ago
Came here to post that video It’s such a great watch
mEEGal@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was hungry
not anymore
toynbee@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m hungrier because I put so many calories into slapping.
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
How many though? Could please someone think of the math? 😭
AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 2 months ago
At 400F it would no longer be chicken but a pile of glowing cinders. A chicken is cooked at 165F.
huquad@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Fun fact, 165F is often parroted for cooking chicken, but I urge everyone to go lower. 155-160F results in much juicier chicken. 165F corresponds to instantaneously killing all bacteria. 155F is about 60s, and 160F is 15s.
MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 2 months ago
And for even juicier chicken, directly inject cranberry juice using a needle and syringe. You can use other juices, but IMO, cranberry goes best with chicken.
For outrageously juicy chicken, sous vide to 155-160F directly in cranberry juice (no vacuum bag). This may bring the chicken beyond many people’s juicy limits, so I suggest trying the other two recipes first to gauge your personally acceptable limit of juiciness.
huquad@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
This is the winner

When Martha from accounting last asked me what my plans were for that night, I told her I was going to slap my chicken.
She won’t look me in the eye any more.

JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Didn’t someone build a machine to do this
Asafum@feddit.nl 2 months ago
He confused internal temp with oven temp lol (I still probably wouldn’t cook a chicken at 400° though.)
Dagrothus@reddthat.com 2 months ago
I cook it at 450, 10 min each side. Works pretty well & you can get some browning with no oil.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Why isn’t it a concern what slapping at this speed does to your hand/arm?
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Because we are men, and men feel no pain when we slap things.
This is why we slap each other on the back after losses in sports, and why pimpin ain’t easy.
JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
That’s assuming an isentropic chicken though. You need even more slaps to make up for the heat loss to the environment.
AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 2 months ago
If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
Me: I’d like to be able to slap fast. Like really fast.
Wo11ven@hexbear.net 2 months ago

135,000 slaps!
TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 2 months ago
This isn’t going to be accurate, it’s ignoring a key aspect of the heat that will be generated, friction. When designing materials for prosthetics we have to be aware of how much friction occurs between the material and skin. If the amount of friction is too great, the material can create enough heat to damage tissue.
The formula for the skin friction coefficient is cf=τw12ρeue2, where ρe and ue are the density and longitudinal velocity at the boundary layer’s edge.
sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
It’s also ignoring your hand would also heat up, ignoring the energy converted to sound, ignoring the heat loss to the environment, ignoring both your hand and the chicken would disintegrate if you hit it that hard, therefore transferring most kinetic energy without converting it…
TLDR: it’s silly, just for funsies
rando895@lemmygrad.ml 2 months ago
The real question is if you slapped hard enough to raise the temperature to 74C (undergrad clearly doesn’t cook), what would the temperature of your hand be? And for the engineers: how far up your arm would you have to measure before the temperature returning to normal body temperature? And for the bio/kin/nursing/premed students: how much would need to be amputated?
keepcarrot@hexbear.net 2 months ago
My hand is a lot smaller than a chicken, so I hope everyone is prepared to have roast my hand as well
Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 2 months ago
And for the bio/kin/nursing/premed students: how much would need to be amputated?
Hi there! I’m a certified surgeon in my DnD roleplay and I can safely say you’ve just amputated your own arm at that speed at just below the shoulder!
the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 2 months ago
Lol i dont know the math but the speed required to apply that force means theres a sonic boom as well right? Along with the bubblewrap crack of your arm shattering in the process of somehow applying this force/acceleration. I actually wonder if there would be heat before the slap since the distance traveled is so short. Is there enough air between your windup and the chicken?
rando895@lemmygrad.ml 2 months ago
That’s like… 4 or 5 times the speed of sound at sea level so… There would be a bit of a boom.
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The chicken ran away when I tried to slap it.
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
Geez, you need to freeze it first. Didn’t you read the abstract?
Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 2 months ago
If you could cook a chicken that fast with one slap, wouldn’t it be disintegrated from the force of the blow?
JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 months ago
You can experience this if you hit a coin with a hammer a few times.
x4740N@lemm.ee 2 months ago
So the flash could cook a chicken by slapping it
Butterbee@beehaw.org 2 months ago
I once watched a youtube video where someone built a rig to explore this very question
Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
There are so many weird assumptions here. There is more than a hand moving when a slap is performed.
A skilled slapper could put more of their body weight behind the slap. I’d assume at least 40 kg or even more as the average slap.
tabularasa@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Average rotisserie chicken is 2 lb? Costco’s is 3lb. That would require many more slaps.
Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I read once that the Mongolian warriors would place raw meat under their saddles and after riding all day would then consume it. Now I’m thinking that’s not so far fetched.
