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.

Participants explore the implications of using unconventional methods in cooking and heating, while engaging in light-hearted banter about physics knowledge.
Discussion Character
- Debate/contested
- Conceptual clarification
Main Points Raised
- Some participants suggest that the use of a clay pot in experiments could have altered outcomes, referencing Fleischmann and Pons.
- Others express skepticism about the intelligence of individuals who may not have a physics background, using humor to critique this perceived lack of knowledge.
- A participant humorously questions the effectiveness of using clay pots over heater vents and whether the same principle applies to air conditioning.
- There is a playful exchange about the seriousness of the discussion, with some participants acknowledging the sarcasm and humor present in the thread.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally engage in humor and sarcasm, but there is no clear consensus on the effectiveness of the proposed ideas or the seriousness of the discussion. Multiple competing views on the intelligence of individuals without physics knowledge are present.
Contextual Notes

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?
