gollark: But I doubt people use the entire processing capacity of their brain for prayers, given that a lot does vision processing and muscle control and whatever.
gollark: How much energy do people usually pray with? IIRC human brains run on something like 20W.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Since the prayer thing was occupying two CPU threads, a rough approximation says it's praying with about 10W (10 Joules per second).
gollark: Is prayer wholeheartedness transferred over some kind of out of band signalling or is it in-band like VT100?
