You have probably done it without even noticing. The modern world is clearly miraculous.

    If you have nuclear or coal powerd electricity you’d be using boiling water to boil your water

      I mean, the vast majority of our electricity (or at least fossil-fuel powered) is essentially “burn stuff to boil water, use steam to power turbine”.

    Some of my electricity comes from magic rocks. Hold them close together and they get hot enough to make steam. Take them apart and they cool off. Just don’t hold them too close together or bad things happen.

    Hydroelectric primer is actually solar energy. Sun evaporated water… Which then rains too full the damn, then gravity does is job… But it all starts with solar… Freaking epic. And they called the Aztecs crazy for venerating the sun. Better than am imaginary friend I’ll tell you what.

        All the heavy metals (including uranium) came from stars exploding in some form. So it’s all from a sun (even if it’s not ours)

        Alternatively, the sun is a huge fusion furnace, so all energy is nuclear

          We did it, lemmy, we discovered net positive fusion!

    You’re also boiling water with gravity.

      And the gravity tank is filled using solar radiation.

    And for the creation of this thought water was also involved; assuming this was indeed a showerthougt

    No, I can’t. I don’t have a kettle, and my stove operates on gas.

        It’s not like we can’t buy kettles if we want. I just have no use for one.

            I own an electric kettle and I boil my water in the microwave!

            (Watch this brit go insane over microwaved water.)

              Sorry, I’m having trouble formulating a response with my entirely blown mind.

              Scum, sub-human scum.

                Besides the kettle is only for hot chocolate! You fill it up, put swissmiss in it and turn it on!

                  wtf? You bought a kettle for swiss miss. Heresy! Only tea should go in kettles, everybody knows that.

    Considering where I live like 80% of our power generation is from hydro-electric dams, yep. I do this every day.

    Isn’t that really gravity though? Or is it the mass?

    Could that be any wordier?

    Try this:

    You can boil water with water by using hydroelectricity to power your kettle.

    • @Globulart

      You can excite water to the extent that it starts changing it’s state of matter by employing a method of electricity generation which makes use of the subject we are trying to excite and subsequently powering a device which does the aforementioned excitement of water!

    I never have been able to.

    I used to be able to boil my water with electrons from a nuclear reactor.

    Now that I moved, all my electrons get excited by high tech coal… Oh…

    You can also make light out of light by powering a lightbulb with solar energy, or create wind out of wind by powering a fan with electricity generated by wind turbines.

    Just don’t try to recreate nuclear energy at home, kids.
