Merrie Melodies and loony toons?

Many of the old cartoons were made so long ago that they hit public domain.

Didn't even think of Yosemite Sam - I would have been watching him pre-memory, so maybe I already knew the word before Pirates...

Which was...?

[wierd]

Not terribly helpful...

All I did was post a wikipedia link.

Yes, I’m trying to discern what hector13 “fixed” since nothing appears to have changed in his ftfy post

[hector13]

It was helpful, as you were wrong the first time :p and I’m a pedant.

It’s “tunes” not “toons”, NG.

[wierd]

Phht-- picky picky.

Still, large numbers of them are in public domain now.

[Reelya]

How do you know it's wrong? Maybe it was toons all along and half of us have been transported into an alternate dimension where it's different. Don't let them gaslight you with this "tunes" thing.

[Frumple]

So that's what happens with your posts, huh. There's actually like three reelyas fighting over the edit button, but they're dimensionally displaced so things get messy and time consuming

Is it possible to monitor how much power the human brain uses at any given time? I've heard of the human brain using 20W of power, but that's like citing the TDP of a CPU; it doesn't have any bearing on how much power it can draw under full load. And even then, is there a way to stress all the parts of the brain, sorta like a brain version of Prime95, to measure the brain's peak power consumption?

There's probably some drug cocktail or another that could manage it or something fairly close, sure.

Only problem is I'm pretty sure people just die before peak stress is actually achieved. Human brains don't exactly like being particularly overclocked, more or less. You can do it but the brainmeats don't work very well under too much pressure.
