I actually have a popcorn maker like that. It has outlived just about every other commercial popcorn maker I have ever owned.

Assuming $0.167/kWh (the average cost in the USA in September 2022), that about $15 of the total is usual bullshit fees (it is on MY bill), but neglecting tax and other overhead, I get 4,904.19 kWh of energy. Let’s round it to 4,900 kWh.
A month has ~730 hours, so assuming Trixie leaves it on 24/7, and it’s effectively a game server or something similarly demanding computing power, i.e. we’re calculating average power of a system, I get:

6.712 kW

Must be an nVidia system.

reminds me of when I had to move back in with my mother, the same month I moved in they got a power bill that was MUCH larger than it used to be: up by $400 and she added it to my rent… a few months later she found out than the cause was a heating coil in their AC unit that was broken/stuck on… she promised to repay me, but I still haven’t seen a single cent
