Amazing info from a slow cooker recipes facebook group. If only Fleischmann & Pons had put a clay pot over their experiment...
OTOH, they aren't exactly wrong.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion humorously critiques the lack of understanding of physics among some individuals, using a metaphor about slow cookers and HVAC systems. Participants joke about the absurdity of using clay pots over heater vents and question whether this concept applies to air conditioning as well. Sarcasm is noted as a challenge in online communication, with some expressing frustration over misunderstandings. The conversation blends lighthearted banter with a nod to scientific principles. Overall, it highlights the intersection of cooking techniques and HVAC discussions in a playful manner.

BTW, yes, I am making fun of people that never took a physics class. Sorry, not sorry.

1) I'm not sure I'll EVER learn that sarcasm doesn't work online...
2) Really? no one here is that stupid, not even the stupid ones. OTOH, I don't see the #$@! that the mentors deal with.
3) Got to go now, I need to buy clay pots to put over each of my heater vents. Does it work for AC too?

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff!
Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use?
