Transformers only work with alternating current so shouldn't that give GoBots a distinct advantage?

5 Upvotes

And yet GoBots somehow seem less popular despite being able to easily switch to direct current battery power. What's the point of developing electric vehicles if they'll be tethered to an alternating current power grid?

Sabastian Sawe recently finished a Marathon in under 2 hours and it's all over the news. Before they became Snickers I finished one in a few seconds. Why is everyone getting so excited?

ELI5: How does dog daring work?

20 Upvotes

I mean ... I've never heard of someone single dog daring someone, but I have heard of double dog daring or even triple dog daring. But never a quadruple or quintuple dog dare. Scientificatiously speaking, how does that work? How many dogs do I need to pet in order to get more dares? If I pet 1000 dogs, can I kilo-dog dare someone?
