About

Slaps Chicken at 3725.95 MPH refers to a theory that the heat generated by hitting a chicken with a hand at 3725.95 miles per hour, or 1665.65 m/s, would be enough to completely cook it. Using the conversion between kinetic energy and thermal energy, a Facebook user came up with the theory, leading to the creation of memes in various templates about it.

Origin

On February 14th, 2019, Reddit user MrWaterplant posted a question to /r/NoStupidQuestions reading “If kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, how hard to I have to slap a chicken to cook it?” On February 17th, Facebook user Parker Ormonde posted a screenshot of himself responding to the question, showing his formula to calculate that a human would have to slap a chicken at 3725.95 MPH to cook it. The post gained over 37,000 reactions and over 167,000 shares (shown below).


r/NoStupidQuestions Posted by u/MrWaterplant 13h If kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, how hard to I have to slap a chicken to cook it? Learning Discussion Share Parker Ormonde As your friendly neighborhood physics major, I decided to calculate this with a few assumptions. The formula for converting between kinetic energy and thermal energy is 1/2mv2-mcT The average human hand weighs about 0.4kg, the average slap has a velocity of 11m/s (25mph), an average rotisserie chicken weighs 1kg (2lbs), has a specific heat capacity of 2720 J/kg*c, and let's assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked. The chicken will start off frozen, so 0C (32F) 1 average slap would generate a temperature increase of 0.0089 degrees Celsius. It would take 23,034 average slaps to cook the chicken. To cook the chicken in one slap, you would have to slap it with a velocity of 1665.65 m/s or 3725.95 mph Just now Like Reply

After spreading on Facebook, the post inspired memes on multiple different sites. On iFunny, a meme about the theory using the Slaps Roof of Car template gained over 47,000 likes (shown below, left). On /r/memes, a Prequel Meme about the post gained over 23,000 points (shown below, right).

Other posts on Reddit joked about the original question. For example, on /r/dankmemes, user Herripotter posted a Skyrim Skill Tree parody of the question, gaining over 12,000 points (shown below, left). Meanwhile, on Facebook, Ormonde posted multiple examples shared by other users about the fact. For example, he shared a post by Michael Wolfe using a Shaggy’s Power meme that gained over 5,800 shares (shown below, right).
