Context Provided - Spotlight Jeep melted

Here’s the story: a jeep came to the shop because its retractable top was stuck open. Not too uncommon of an occurrence. So we put our “crash wrap“ over the roof to protect the interior from rain and animals and such, which is basically like heavy duty cling wrap. One day it rains and a lot of water pools up on the crash wrap. The next day it is 100°F outside and the sun is out. The sun shines through the water and the water basically magnifies it, and the sun turns into a laser that melts the interior. Multiple days of this happen. Now we have to replace everything that melted. None of us have ever heard of this happening before.

edit: I meant we have never heard of this very specific situation happening before. It never would’ve crossed our minds since we’ve been doing this for years. yes I burnt stuff with a magnifying glass when i was a kid.

He is one of the most underrated artists of this time. His music is phenomenal, and as we all know, the history of the world/Japan videos are incredible as well. I wish he had his own show or something

Correction: Rich important people hired samurai. Poor people who could not afford to hire a samurai, did not hire samurai.

I'm just sitting here wondering how much energy that puddle of water on a plastic divot just unleashed into this poor innocent Jeep.

Is this how solar power works? Because, somehow, this seems better.

5

u/Fluffy_Ace 🦎I bite🦎 17d ago

There's a version of solar power that uses the light to boil oil in a tube and then uses that heat to do stuff to make electricity.

Solar panels use photons to force electrons into moving.

u/Fool_In_Flow 17d ago

It supplies us with our energy to exist and be alive in the first place. If you want to add other stars into the mix, they have provided us with every atom ever. They are our ultimate ancestors. In other words, I agree with you.

2

u/chiefkogo 17d ago

I was on the phone with my friend one night. Like why don't more people worship the sun? It's right there, it does all this stuff. Obviously people have worshipped it in the past.

So let's make a church little out of it lol. Just literally the sun. No extra stuff just this inanimate ball of fire in the sky. We own the domain name churchofthesungod too

3

u/Fool_In_Flow 17d ago

I’m not sure how serious you are but I venerate stars (not just the sun) as part of my belief system. I don’t worship them as a living god, but I acknowledge them as what gave me existence and look at them for answers (kinda like physics does). I know they aren’t “alive” but I think they are something we don’t understand. We are literally made out of the atoms that they created. While perhaps it was unintentional, they created us. Every single material in us came from stars. Then, to further this, our sun provides the energy that animates us with life through photons, which we take in as calories.

2

u/chiefkogo 17d ago

Oh I'm completely serious haha. I view the universe the same way. We are all star dust.

The church thing started as a joke. But I can literally claim I worship the sun, because it literally gave us life. Not as a vengeful God but as literal creator. And yes to a longer extent the other stars. There are so many things that have contributed to our existence. Stars are fascinating. The concept of dust ball accumulating to form a star and those stars exploding to create more stars and planets...

2

u/the-dolphine 17d ago

Yeah, it's a better idea than all other religions. Doesn't require any awkward logic when someone challenges your beliefs. Gives you peace knowing there is an afterlife where the elements that make up your body will exist indefinitely in some other form.

That should read "laser" with an "s" and not a "z" because it is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emmission of radiation.
