10 terawatt deep space Martian entertainment laser cannon requirements
Infraviolet:
Has anyone noticed that the thread title has changed to ask about 10 TERAWATTS while the url still says megawatts? Shining from anywhere on earth I'm sure that could entertain martians in situ. 10 terawatts is 10,000 large offshore windframs all running together.

I think the OP, got worried that their original thread might get noticed by the moderation team, and get them into trouble. So they changed things, such as the title, to try and hide the evidence, of their activities.
10 TW, is approximately 20 times the entire electricity power consumption, of all of America, at any given time.

The OPs laser will probably be fine, as long it doesn't operate for longer than a few picoseconds, at a time.
Ed.Kloonk:
= 1.21 Jigawatts.

“Worried”? Haha. Not a bit of it. I exaggerated to clarify the fact that it was a joke, and didn’t have the desire to trawl the entire post editing it to match the new title, ultra pedantically.
It’s clearly a joke… golly….
“Hide the evidence”? Lol. Anyone with half a modicum of common sense knows forum admin can access a change log and see what I’ve edited
Never assume - don’t assume people lack certain knowledge. I’m a grown man not a child - I know this forum sometimes breeds an air of childishness and back-biting, but there’s nothing “hidden” here. The day I’m “scared” of something online would be a fine day indeed.
People take things too seriously. I’ve got a terawatt laser pen for anyone wanting to play with me. 🤪😂
