The Knowledge is Power Thread

There is a bunch of neat information presented in an even neater way just floating around the internet. Everything from the breakdown of bytes, to how to spot a hidden handgun. Note that I didn't make any of these myself, just thought I'd share. I will keep this post updated as often as I can and feel free to discuss any of the topics you see. If for some reason you have trouble reading the text (i.e. too small) you can zoom in with your browser (should be view > zoom > zoom in aka ctrl ++) or you can just go to my images on the site and scroll to the left.
 

I will confirm that it costs the military a fortune to outfit a soldier. With Ammo, clothing, armor, and weapons I'm hefting about $30,000.

Do you have links to source pics because most of these are waaaay too small to read =/

GoranP is constantly blowing my mind. What a guy.

Also, last time I checked the odds of dying in a plane crash were about 1 in 7,000,000, not 659,779

Good thread.

This is a really badass thread. 

Nice, I have been looking for that nuclear explosions one for a while.

The ocean has always amazed me. So much of it is undiscovered territory, and it is very fascinating that in this day and age there is so much of the world that is still a mystery to us.

Wow so...this is a lifehack thread on /b/ now??

the concealed gun is funny. if a person is dressed like an idiot...they're probably hiding a gun.

I'm smarter already. Hey, did you know you have a zero chance of dying from small pox? 

I'm more of a power is knowledge kinda guy.

Ah, so a knowledge off, eh? Fine, I like pulling out this gem: the female hyena has a bigger dick than the male. Had enough? No? OK then, how about this: Stalin liked to draw naked dudes, but Stalin experts say that he wasn't that gay. Come back to me in a few weeks, when you have blue brain.

Good thread! The thing about Petabytes really blew my mind a little, especially considering that kind of data will soon be available to us, and could one day be the price of a gigabyte.

Did you know Hitler was a vegetarian?  That means eating meat is a bad thing.

I welcome your power sir, very interesting stuff.

Here's a way to spot trannies wicked easily. A man's finger length ratios are different than a woman's. A man's index finger is shorter than his ring finger. A woman's ring finger and index finger are either the same length, or her index finger is slightly longer than her ring finger.  
 

That's the only way to absolutely guarantee you're bringing home a tranny.

I was going to post "Manly and tranny are both the same thing" as a response here, but I accidentally posted it in the Private Message notification thing and it sent it to you directly. I hope I don't get banned for sending too many tranny-related PM's.  
 
You should probably forward it to William RL Baker, and have him forward it to his beard.

You're either a woman or a gay dude then. Face the facts.

Holy shit that Petabyte pic was incredible.
