Did this many times to weigh suitcases before a flight

I love that they made an avatar for it 😆

Why would anyone weight their gas canister?

SparrowRanjitScaur ,

Probably to see how much fuel is left in it

But that is very inaccurate…

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.

It’s the most accurate way to measure fuel in a tank. Pressure gauges are much less useful.

IzzyScissor ,

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.

They usually come with a tare (empty) weight stamped on them. Total weight minus the weight = gas weight

gnu , (edited )

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.

TinyShonk ,

How does that tell how much fuel is left?

homesnatch ,

The method described reveals the level of liquid within the container. There is a distinct difference above and below.

gnu ,

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.

Ain’t stupid if it works!

Yeah, i said canister had a good posture, how did Wii know?

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

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.

Is that a healthy weight for a gas canister? 🤔

@Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

idk the BMI is kinda high.

Threeme2189 ,

The PSI looks a bit high as well

@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

That’s beyond obese, no way that’s healthy. Gotta burn that weight one way or another!

ZeDoTelhado ,

That’s how i want my canisters: with good posture

Steamymoomilk ,

That gas can is the apex of fitness

giantfloppycock ,

lmao even the wii guy looks like the canister
