It could be a difference in the way the force is applied maybe, I reckon that value assumes the neck is crushed as opposed to just pulled at its weakest points which is what happens when a person is hanged.

I remember someone telling me strings make a difference to the AP. Maybe we have to take that into account. How thick are hanging ropes?

Also applies when you break them via karate-chopping or punching (or stomping, which results in all the bones breaking, and that's the commonest form of the feat).AguilaR101 said:
The calc assumes that you destroy only that one big vertebra, BTW. And the lamina is unaccounted for, which would wield higher results if calc'd with the right values.

Is absorbing a planets entire energy a common enough feat?, I think it would be useful.

I just copied it from another blog. I've already removed a few uncommon feats, will remove more later.

I'd love that scene

What type of energy are we talking about?LordGriffin1000 said:

Yeah, crushing bones is more often than not going to be superior to ripping someone's head off because the latter only requires you to separate the head from the neck at its weakest points.

@AguilaR101 the planets life energy I guess.

Snapping necks and shattering windshields as well as punting a person past the horizon are all common.ArbitraryNumbers said:

How reliable is this calculator, can someone check?
It looks like it could be extremely useful to figure a yield for small explosions and other effects caused by them when we have known distance (tremors, windows breaking, houses being damaged, people having their eardrums ruptured etc).

DontTalkDT says that he thinks he will have the time to continue from the 2nd to the 11th of February.

The probably depends what's defined as "Durability"; some things penetrate easily but require a lot more energy to fragmentize/pulverize/ect in the sense.

This is true. All of the different physical properties are absolutely not universal and may seem very counter-intuivitive at times.

Next batch. A bit out of order 'cause something caught my eye scrolling through.
12. Breaking off a lock: Still uncertain about the 1.74 estimate.
That aside, if such a lock is broken, I think rather rarely the entire shackle is fragmented?
13. Destroying blades: Looks ok.
14. Destroying chimney: Not sure about those chimney measurements being generic.
this or this give some other ideas, though I don't know about height. Also it seems kinda small, so maybe something else is meant there.
I suppose this is decent if nothing generic can be found.
15. Spiral staircase: I don't think spiral staircases have sufficiently generic sizes to justify a standard calc for them.
16. Crushing Golf ball: seems fine.
17. Destroying barrel: I usually see the hoops not being destroyed during such feats. Should be ok, though.
32. & 33. Pool stuff: I would suggest a 2m deep 4 to 8 lane short course pool as a low end, being more common IMO. See here for size.
The freezing calc is missing the enthalpy of fusion, I believe.
34 & 35 Bath stuff: Half a bath full would be 75.7/2 = 37.85 liters, no?
They talk about the ancient unit, which I don't think is supposed to be the actual measurement?
Enthalpy of fusion missing again, I think.
The water is assumed to be 44┬░C hot? Isn't that a bit too hot? At least for an average bath, I know hot baths are a thing as well.

Do we have a calc for surviving a lightning strike or no?.

@DontTalkDT
Thank you for the help. The accepted calculations should probably be fine to use then. Perhaps they can be copied to another blog post?
@KLOL506
I don't think that we can scale durability from Lightning Feats anymore. As you can see in the page, it is both partially a form of durability negation, and nowhere near the entire energy of the lightning bolt is withstood by humans.

@Antvasima: I would have thought once we are through with checking everything and things are corrected where necessary we make a page for it. In that process the formulation and overall structure can be improved. In particular making as clear as possible which things have to be given to apply which calc.
Next batch:
18. Destructive force of winds: In principle correct. 1 m^3 is not really a meaningful measure, but a low-end I think.
19. Skull Curshing: Should be ok.
20. Nimbus Clouds: This are too many assuptions. "Can be" classifies a high end and I wouldn't count on general base sizes to start with as they are potentially completly variable due to wind and stuff.
To that comes that assuming a standard timeframe like this is a bad idea. Such things should be evaluated based on the contect of the story.
For this in particular I would just keep to what we have on cloud calculations.
21. Shaking the earth: I think this one was checked before in the calc grop forum. There was an extended version of that in a blog as well, wasn't there?
22. Creating a storm: This should be go. Not because being problematic, but because the results already are on the storm / cloud calculations page. No reason to have them twice.
23. Breaking all bones in a humans body: To start with I wish to point out that I would never assume a statement on all bones being broken is literal. We have bones that already are less than 5 mm long. Such statements should just be taken to mean that several/lots of bones were broken.
That aside... 88kg bodymass? That is far above average in most countries.
Aside from those things ok, I guess.
