Hey we burn things just for heat too.

Yeah, heat to boil water

someguy3@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

We heat homes, smelt ore, many industrial things.

We heat homes by heating water and putting the hot water through pipes into wall mounted iron tanks so that the water cools down again…

Not everyone uses radiators. My system is a forced air furnace.

scifu@lemm.ee · 2 years ago

We heat water molecules in air.

Fireplaces?

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

GBU_28@lemm.ee · 2 years ago

We smelting water tonight?

someguy3@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

Not only water as per the original comment. You need heat to smelt ore and do any number of industrial things to progress society.

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

But then you quench that ore in water! It’s just heating water with extra steps!
