      You want to know something crazier. Sometimes the treadmills weren’t even hooked up to anything. Prisoners were “lazy” for being locked up so make them work. Don’t have work for them to do just make them walk on the treadmill even when it does nothing. It was literally Sisyphean.

        yeah and when you compare the calories it’s not even close. hash brown gets you a measly 140, while the gasoline gives you 31,000.

      You should look up the Lumière brothers’ work. There is film from 1895, and some amazing upscaled/enhanced versions.
