Slap Memes

Someone's been paying attention in physics class but skipping cooking 101! The question brilliantly applies thermodynamics to culinary arts in the most ridiculous way possible. Technically, you'd need to slap a chicken at about 1,665 m/s (3,725 mph) to generate enough thermal energy to cook it in one go. That's approximately 23,034 slaps of average force. So unless you've got superhuman slapping abilities or really hate that particular chicken, maybe just use an oven? The beautiful marriage of physics and absurdity here is what makes science both fascinating and hilarious.
