    It’s always wild to me that 100% heating efficiency is actually kinda not great. Also the fact that we can use the heat from air that is colder than what we want in order to generate more heat I mean that’s just witchcraft.

      Well, we’re not generating heat with heat pumps. We’re compressing atoms to make them angrier and pass other atoms by that bunch to even out the angriness. Could also substitute the word jiggy for angry.

        I get that(enough, anyway, I just need to watch some videos on them to be honest) but it’s still super wild to say out loud.
