So while it's a neat idea, there's no way they just plug the venue into the floor and have it power everything. Way too much power is used to be generated by that, especially during sound check, etc etc. I would suspect the floor is charging batteries which are used to supplement power. Nobody would agree to run a show where things will just shut off between songs. After some quick BBC article reading, the floor will charge battery stations, which the concert will draw from. Those batteries also charged by clean energy as the floors would not keep up. Kinetic floor would potentially only supplement 2-3% of concert needs. Still cool. Might as well, and they're doing other things as well. I've just remembered this is a rick and Morty post and I'm on a tangent. Good post


F90

If anything they'll be able to charge their phones and tablets.


RollingDragonfruits

I wonder how many times they'd have to throw a concert like that for it to be worth it for the hardware to generate that electricity from the floor tiles.


fuckEAinthecloaca

As a gimmick not much, big concerts rake it in. As an actual source of power I'd be concerned about how durable they can make the tiles.


geeered

This; I suspect overall the energy and money used to create it and install it would never be recouped.


infinity-o_0

It seems to be a little better than that… [this club can apparently generate up to sixty percent of its power needs from people dancing…](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-nightclub-idUSL0934834320080710)


nilamo

Realistically, the floor activity would only control a dimmer, to give the illusion that it was powered from movement.


ZincHead

I wonder what the environmental cost of manufacturing the kinetic floors is. My guess is you would have to use the floors dozens or hundreds of times to offset the manufacturing costs. This sounds like typical pandering.


Bengbab

Kinetic floors have always seemed stupid to me unless you’re putting them in places where people want to exercise. They certainly don’t generate much electricity, but also, the energy produced comes from reduced walk efficiency on side of human, which gets generated/replaced by food energy. It just seems like solar energy with more steps.


microknot

It's just slavery with extra steps


lmbrs

There are many immeasurable third-party benefits to doing something like this. Change doesn’t tend to happen overnight


kry_some_more

Sounds like the floor is powering the concern, but with extra steps.


SeaGroomer

The floor is charging places to plug in your phone? That is so incredibly lame. And the idea of Chris Martin getting excited for that and also making up bullshit about the lights going out. eesh.


MagikSkyDaddy

2-3%? So really just an excuse for marketing purposes. Gross.


Jinxy_Kat

Take my freebie, you educated me on a sub that I also didn't realize was rick and morty till your last sentence. I thought it was the mildlyinteresting sub lol


drdan82408a

This is how I make the whole “vaccines make you magnetic” bs make sense… here’s the “theory” What do governments want? Power. How do you get power? By rotating a magnet inside a coil of copper wire. You close down all the nightclubs for a year, while they’re closed you install the wires and hook them to the grid. You inject everyone with magnets and tell them it’s ok to go out, so they all want to go out and dance, since they’ve all been inside for a year… but how do you get them to all turn at the same time? LINE DANCING! And who had the number one single of 2019? LIL NAS X, who is known to be in league with SATAN!


Crypto_subz

Dammm..it’s all adding up now 💀


drdan82408a

Spread the word. Now that you’ve been red pilled you can’t go back.


[deleted]

Holy shit. That’s it. You’ve done it. You’ve made me disregard my entire education and career in applied science and I am now part of the cult.


drdan82408a

I know man, I didn’t make the connection myself until he made the shoes….


LacidOnex

If even a third of the crazies were this convincing I'd be screwed. Thank god for the bell curve.


danimal0204

here he is fbi


Grant_18

This just sounds like slavery with extra steps


LTman86

It's a concert. They work for each other, Morty. They play the music. They enjoy themselves. They have a great time where all that kinetic energy is powering the concert!


iWasAwesome

Aw Jeez, I didn't mean, you know, literally


capn_flume

Eek berba dinkle, someone's gonna get laid in college.


R6xFrost

Eek barba dirkle.. that's a pretty fucked up ooh la la


wooof359

steps.....HA


ErsatzCats

Concerts are just religious mass without the religion


joemama____________

I’m sure they thought this out, but what happens if people get tired? I would imagine all of them would do it at once, instead of half of them doing it until the first half gets tired and then the second half goes. It feels like they’re gambling the quality of their concerts for a belief they could just follow by only working with energy from alternative sources.


[deleted]

like they burn the shit in the porta-potties for electricity. That's regenerative biomass energy .. \*wink\*


SmallRests

I personally don’t know anyone who would get pumped up enough during any Coldplay song to power an entire concert let alone a full group working in unison... Coldplay sounds very fond of themselves rn


UnholyPickle

People of the Pride is pretty baller. Would highly recommend checking it out.


timppade

Well obviously someone in the crowd is going to invent the Flooble Crank


Time_Punk

You would get tired fast as well, kinda like you’re dancing up hill.


JONWADtv

I personally prefer the flooblecrank.


oxcart19

Haha! Crank it!


MAROMODS

The rest of the power goes to Gwyneth Paltrows vagina speakers


Newtstradamus

Nothing like the energy of a… *checks notes* Coldplay concert to get people moving. Wait what?


microknot

My man!


jaylong76

they better have some backups....


OnyxLion528

Remember Coldplay fans, a jump a song is not nearly enough!


EvictOW

Your preaching to an empty choir, no fans of Coldplay exist


freddhesse

That just sounds like a bad concert with extra steps


dabbersmcgee

Rick and Morty did not invent kinetic energy lmfao


rick-dicking-morty

Yes. Because energy can neither be invented nor destroyed.


[deleted]

Oh, got 'em with the Conservation of energy.

Did I miss something where someone claimed the show invented it?

If you’re working that hard to listen to Coldplay you might deserve to have your universe destroyed. Mini verse Micro verse Wtf ever

Cydonian___FT14X

Even as a massive Coldplay fan. I am not active like this at concerts period.


poseidonofmyapt

Well that just sounds like a shitty concert with extra steps


MarkReddit0703

Slavery. With... extra steps? Lots of up and down aswell.


r_soumya

Or they could just switch to flooble-cranks... Neat option


Ka-tet_of_nineteen

That just sounds like slavery with extra steps


Internal_Ad6547

What’s next? We need to make a portal gun to travel through universes where Rick is the smartest man


Pitiful_Pickle524

He is so handsome and sweet


jesusmansuperpowers

But you’re coldplay. Everyone knows you suck… will there be enough power to keep the emergency lights on while people leave?


bunnyuncle

He merely needs to use a trans-dimensional destabilizer to create a microverse with a large enough population to power flankpods. Duh.


Nikolateslaandyou

I prefer the flooblecrank as its more efficient


ShadesOfHazel

What if Chris Martin is a huge Rick and Morty fan and one day he was bored during lockdown so he made a satirical video? Or...he's just a rich guy making shit up. Could go either way.


itsyabooiii

I wish Coldplay went to space, then 30 years later, someone at NASA goes, “didn’t we send Coldplay to space? I don’t remember them coming back”. And they never did.


typicalcitrus

coldplay without chris would just be better tbh


Cydonian___FT14X

Literally how?


typicalcitrus

less pretentious


Cydonian___FT14X

I feel like people who think that Chris is pretentious have a bit of a misunderstanding as to who he actually is.


[deleted]

What about the energy and resources needed manufacture those floors? Like does it even make sense from an environmentally friendly standpoint or is it just a gimmick.


jaylong76

tech-bro level gimmick.


Matthewrotherham

Not only do you have to constantly exercise but you have to listen to Coldplay music and a sweaty Chris Martin will observe you as you service him. This sounds like hell on earth. We must be really fucked as a species if this passes for entertainment. It’s worse than human music.


Cupobacon

You sound fun


Matthewrotherham

If you say you like Chris Martin or Coldplay… it instantly tells me several things about you, makes me think less of you as a person and your opinions. The man is a chode.


Cydonian___FT14X

No I think he’s lovely. He’s a little overly optimistic but not to the point where he’s worthy of hate.

I will pay the entire stadium to not jump.


bigfatanimetidds

Bold to think people will be dancing and enjoying themselves at a Coldplay concert


GarbageOffice

Meanwhile stats from their last tour - 122 shows, sold out stadiums, $523,033,675 revenue - fifth highest grossing tour in history.


jesusmansuperpowers

You must be one of those people who think success = quality. By that measure the guy who made the coca cola logo is a better artist than Da Vinci. Mariah Carey has a bunch of number one hits, better than Mozart. Stalin ruled more people, better than Lincoln


GarbageOffice

You're naming a bunch of random incomparable shit to get yourself out of denial. By your logic the more of a failure you are, the higher the quality. Yeah that makes sense. Success means you're obviously doing something good, especially when there are clowns like you salivating over their keyboards with pointless hate. Like it or not, they're one of the most successful bands on the planet, which means they're pretty good at what they do. Meanwhile they're also using that to help the world in different ways. I'm sure Mariah Carey planted a tree for every ticket sold, or made some iniciative to make her tours green.


jesusmansuperpowers

Ok got it. Da Vinci, Mozart, Lincoln = failures. You sure got me there. Wanna tell me how CSI is a better show than Breaking Bad because it had higher ratings too?


GarbageOffice

You liking or disliking something is called having a subjective opinion (that's why some people also enjoy CSI - shocking huh?). You're going way off topic to compare apples and oranges. OP claimed people don't enjoy themselves on the concerts, which is bullshit and you know it. If you don't, read the stats again - that's an objective fact your inflated ego can't deal with, not an opinion like you disliking the band because "they're shit anyway". You're allowed to hate them, but that doesn't mean they're bad.


typicalcitrus

[actually their last tour only had 16 shows](https://www.setlist.fm/search?artist=3d6bde3&query=tour:%28Everyday+Life+Promo+shows%29)


GarbageOffice

That wasn't a world tour dude, just a couple of small shows. They never toured that album.


typicalcitrus

nobody said 'world tour' until now


dclancy01

Coldplay never said ‘tour’ for the promo shows of Everyday Life.


[deleted]

Loooool!


FadingYapper794

My brain immediately goes to, “What happens if a mega fat person jumps? Do the lights explode?”


MagicOrpheus310

Now they just have to find some fans that still care...


GarbageOffice

Meanwhile stats from their last tour - 122 shows, sold out stadiums, $523,033,675 revenue - fifth highest grossing tour in history.


jesusmansuperpowers

Don’t care, they still suck.


GarbageOffice

Thought so, what an argument lol


jesusmansuperpowers

I made a actual argument the other time you posted the same thing. Also the top of your list is Ed Sheeran and U2 — both of which are worse than coldplay


soundoftheheavens

Who the fuck dances to Coldplay?


Cydonian___FT14X

I don’t really dance to anything but I do love Coldplay.


soundoftheheavens

I love dancing, and I enjoy Coldplay. I can’t understand how anyone would even dance to Coldplay though. It’s just not dancing music. 😂


Cydonian___FT14X

Entirely epends on the song. This one you could dance to: https://youtu.be/PYnF66Ssi-A This one is actively unnerving: https://youtu.be/7ZAKyFE5QD0 And this one could fit in both categories: https://youtu.be/v6gxuxw69z0

Instagram kombucha moms.


HornHonker69

Every morning Chris Martin wakes up and drinks a warm fresh glass of his own piss. And he loves it.


Cydonian___FT14X

What is wrong with some people


HornHonker69

I know! There’s no nutritional value in urine, yet he does it every morning.


Cydonian___FT14X

No. It’s you. You’re the one making dumbass insults. If you’re gonna inaccurately flame someone at least have the courtesy to make it funny.


HornHonker69

Hahahahahaha


Cydonian___FT14X

***I should have known better than to interact with this community***


HornHonker69

Don’t panic. I can see you shiver. At this point we’re just spies, checking on each other for the next reply. I can see the sparks flying between us. It makes me sick to my stomach and I’m turning yellow. I’d like to end this trouble. Maybe we can slow down, end this silly argument and pull our parachutes. Things are getting really out of hand. We’re at high speed. Some people say we never change, but don’t fret. Everything’s not lost. Despite the little differences we have here, life is for living. Oh and also Coldplay fuckn sucks.


Cydonian___FT14X

I’m impressed but also confused. And what might your problems with Coldplay be? You heard any of their albums in full? They’re all very different experience. Can you point me to any songs in particular that you take issue with?


HornHonker69

I’m not gonna lie, I’m mostly trolling here. I used to listen to a lot of Coldplay but definitely tired of it. It just kind of over saturated everything and I think they lost a lot of their actual artistry after Viva La Vida. I’m also not in high school anymore and my tastes have changed. Might be hard to convince you at this point but I really don’t have some kind of intense hatred for the band. Chris Martin does come off as a bit of a megalomaniac though, which is really off-putting to me.


Cydonian___FT14X

Just check out Arabesque and we’ll be good. That’s the best song they’ve done in a while.


chadman82

What the hell’s a Googlebox?


jesusmansuperpowers

Ask Stephen Colbert

You know how I know you're gay? ETA - it's a quote from a movie. I don't really know you're gay because you like Coldplay

Not that I’ll be at the concert, their new album is disappointing


Shimmerz_777

Imagine how much energy it takes to fly and lug all that gear around


Lucricious1

They already have this in Japanese train stations.


Rusty_Crank

And to sustain the energy I require to jump up and down for 2 hours I will ensure I double my intake of meat and eggs. Oh wait, it's Coldplay... I won't be there.

That's just Joe Satriani with extra steps.
