  You are literally pumping hot outside.

        Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

    And you can reverse the process, pumping heat inside instead, even when it’s freezing outside! Magic, I tell you.

  Do not upset Maxwell’s demon when you’re down there sorting the cold atoms from the hot ones!

        It’s hard to believe that there was a point in my life where I could have read that article and understood it for the most part.

        Now it might as well be hieroglyphics. Like I can see that symbol is an eye, and that one is a bird, but don’t ask me what that shit means.

  Material phase changes are like a cheat code for humanity. Reusable chemical handwarmers are also black magic. You just click a metal plate inside and all of a sudden it’s a hot solid.

  NightHawkInLight made a video showing how you can mix two different salts together and it’ll create a packet that stays at 65 degrees for hours.
