I dont know how much energy you'd get per hour from a hot mug though. I'm much more intrigued by a blanket that would keep you safe in the arctic as well as the Sahara.

It depends on how you define the words "drink" and "warm". If "drink" includes something like molten tungsten, and "warm" includes 6200F then you can get a bunch of energy out of it

I did not consider a 6200F heavy metal to be a hot drink.

Jeez I dunno if we could get it any hotter for you, sorry

Everything is drinkable. Once.

All liquids are drinkable at least once

Not all liquid moving near the throat is drinking. Drowning, for example, isn’t drinking. It has to be ingested using swallowing muscles, etc. Molten lava would disintegrate the perimeter of your mouth and throat. That’s “drinking” like a shotgun to the face is “eating”.

Would that make Kurt Cobain the 1994 Seattle speed eating champion?

Only on Lemmy would you encounter such lunacy and I love it! 😂❤️

Who would pick being safe in the arctic when an antidote for existential dread is right there?

Arctic researchers? 🤷
