The Most Power Per Boil You'll See Out There

Nuclear power plants: *Split atoms to generate electricity* Meanwhile, the actual mechanism: "BEHOLD! I have harnessed the godlike power of nuclear fission... to make water go brrrrr!" 💦☢️ That's right! For all our technological wizardry, nuclear reactors are essentially $7 billion kettles. We're using the most powerful energy source known to humanity to... heat water. The same thing your grandma does with a $20 electric kettle from Target! It's like using a supernova to toast your bread. MAGNIFICENT OVERKILL!

The ultimate dad joke meets chemistry! When the scientist says they "boiled water," the other person calls it "solid" (which water definitely isn't when boiling). Then tries to recover by saying "that's cool" - which is ALSO scientifically wrong since boiling water is, you know, HOT. The scientist's exasperation is the perfect punchline! It's a beautiful triple play on words that would make any chemistry teacher simultaneously laugh and cringe. States of matter jokes are apparently both hot AND cool... just don't tell that scientist!
