    So the mug is the best choice by far, due to its universe-breaking abilities surrounding temperature. Setup a Stirling engine on that for infinite power.

      I do have to admit it’s a bit disheartening to post that pic, and then people react to it by looking how to use the objects to ‘hack’ the nature of reality.

        I mean, that magic candle single handedly gives hope for reversing universal entropy. Everything else might be personally fulfilling but that thing could be the key to preventing the heat death of the universe.

        Which would be pretty personally fulfilling too imo.

          Kind of, lol. But you can see the difference in the type of hacking. The objects are only meant to hack your own, private reality. That’s what the picture is meant to address, that aspect of our lives that can’t be translated into external and/or mechanical utility.

          Besides, the issue of energy scarcity that the replies are working off could be fixed or at least minimised through realistic technological and political/economic solutions, with no need for magical objects that defy the laws of physics. But no law or real invention can be guaranteed e.g. to give you good dreams.

            So they induce a kind of psychosis? Ah, sweet. Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension. 😜
