    I didn’t expect google search to be this energy intensive (estimated between 0.2 g and 10 g CO2 per search request) and wanted to be smartass with question “are you spellchecking entire libraties?”. This gives average geometric around 1.5 g and 13k words… Short story or novelette?

    Though assuming 10 seconds per word to check… Somewhere in the ballpark of 40 hours nonstop google spellchecking. Feels realistic.
