James watt Memes

The entire engineering unit system is built on lies. One horse actually produces approximately 15 horsepower during peak exertion, not 1. James Watt, the 18th century engineer who coined the term, deliberately underestimated horse strength to make his steam engines seem more impressive to potential buyers. This is basically false advertising that's persisted for 250+ years. The look of betrayal is completely justified—we've all been measuring mechanical power based on a marketing gimmick.

The mind-blowing revelation that one horse equals 15 horsepower is enough to make anyone question reality. The imperial measurement system strikes again with its nonsensical logic! Turns out James Watt, who coined "horsepower" in the 1780s, deliberately underestimated horse strength to make his steam engines seem more impressive. Talk about false advertising that stuck around for centuries! It's like finding out a foot isn't actually the length of someone's foot... wait, it isn't? *skeleton screaming intensifies*
