We are always brainstorming ways to cut down on our server costs. One of the biggest costs is the electricity to run these machines so we have been on the lookout for alternative power sources. It turns out one of those power sources is in your hands. It is estimated that internet users generate approximately 1.21GW of electricity by spinning the scroll wheels on their mice and we intend to capture this and put it to good use.
Without getting too much into the details, we have been working with a hardware manufacturer to build an intermediary device that sits between your mouse and your PC that captures the power generated by your mouse wheel and uses 5G technology to route the power to your local data center.
If you are interested, check out the Power Generation page and see how much power you can contribute. Thanks for lending us a hand!
@Cream oh hey you're kinda back tho
ok so mobile players cant help devs? :(
AH,my right hand,I borrowed a computer for it and only got 6 watts.......
@jagtigercorps I do, I was just joking because, the relation of scrolling a wheel to get to 457.816 GIGAWATTS
@Chaka ok, so you don't have a finger?
@jagtigercorps Thanks, my nose is getting pretty backed up now that I don't have that finger. I may have to switch to using my pinky to unclog my nose.
@Chaka aww so sad
hmmm...
interesting concept
"Seriously you're a machine ?"
Yes i am.
Related to my profile pic, the most efficient way make power is by rubbing your mouse aganist your thight.
Mobile Users: Guess I'll run outta power
Wow. This is quite literally a funky trees creation brought to life
1.21 GIGA WATTS? 1.21 GIGAWATTS! GREAT SCOT!
Well RIP touchpad user
So about powering servers with 5G....
You’re not wrong.

I have now reached 457.816 Gigawatts of Power Donation.
After a lengthy ER visit and having to have my finger surgically removed due to damage that couldn't be repaired from scrolling for so many hours. I think it's time someone released an update to SimplePlanes. Some more parts to use.
Pleeeeeeeease. I need it while recuperating from the loss of my finger.
457.816 GIGAWATTS
April Fool's Day. But I did
@rexzion bruh
I started doing that...hope im generating much power for u
I think you can use the power we made by using keyboards.
HappyAprilFool'sDay🤣
Wait....
Crap. Was this an April fool's? 🤣
Do it
I’m bettin this is a rickroll.
Edit: apparently not. That’s pretty cool tho
Impossible. Your scroll wheel must’ve been spinning near light speed to generate that much power.

283.676 Gigawatts of pure boredom.
I just wanted to be in 1st place of something in life. Scrolling a wheel had to be it I guess.
... the entirety of the PC master race is cringing... @Chaka
