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

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.

Video in question

So, if we all turned up the heat also during summer, the climate would cool down! Genius! Just don’t go inside.

It’s like a mini-Gandalf telling all those Balrog-shaped hot molecules “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!”.
