So the mug is the best choice by far, due to its universe-breaking abilities surrounding temperature. Setup a Stirling engine on that for infinite power.

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

Drinks tend to be drinkable.

[-] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 6 months ago

Everything is drinkable. Once.

[-] alx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 months ago

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”.
