Snow Can't Take The Heat!
Ah, the classic "90 degrees = hot" joke that makes physicists groan and mathematicians chuckle. What we're witnessing is thermal conductivity in action—tile corners create thermal bridges where heat transfers more efficiently. After 40 years studying materials science, I can confirm that corners don't melt snow because they're "90 degrees hot"... they melt it because they're junction points where heat flows from multiple directions. The commenter's confidence is inversely proportional to their understanding of thermodynamics. Reminds me of my undergraduate students who'd confidently explain quantum mechanics after watching one YouTube video.
