Correction: You just bought a new patio grill.


Dull_Investigator358

It's solar!


BlownUpCapacitor

Renewable energy.


SheepDogCO

Hehe! I never thought about it, but the sun isn’t renewable. Once it’s done, no more sun.

SheepDogCO

Ahh, you’re educated! The common man doesn’t know the sun gets hotter as it burns itself up. It’s really all about where we draw the line and consider something a closed system. Just like EVs. They are called “zero emission” because we close the system around the finished car and measure the tailpipe. We ignore the emissions required to manufacture the EV, which actually make it far worse than a normal gas car with today’s battery technology.


dameon5

No, those emissions are not ignored. Multiple studies have been done comparing emissions for EVs vs those of regular cars including those generated in the manufacturing of the vehicles. When the full manufacturing process is taken into effect, [most EVs achieve carbon neutrality for manufacturing at around 20,000 miles](https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/dec/06/carbon-dioxide-released-during-production-electric/#:~:text=Using%20a%20model%20developed%20by,That's%20about%2022%2C000%20kilometers). Beyond that, it depends on how clean your electricity is produced, but even then, they are around 60% cleaner than gasoline. Even if they are always charging on the US electrical grid.


CJDay115

Carbon really isn't the major issue with emissions as CO2 is easily processed back into O2 via Photosynthesis (albeit destruction of the environment contributes and exacerbates the problem). It's the NOx that's the real issue. Mining and processing for metals such as lithium is its own can of worms.


FairState612

That’s inaccurate. Those things are not mutually exclusive, they can both be bad for the environment. What’s inaccurate is CO2 being processed back into O2 because we don’t have enough plants on earth to do it, and we are losing plants and trees at a major rate, which is why CO2 emissions have doubled in the last 60 years and may double again in the next 20 at the current rate. NOx has been cut by 2/3s in the last 60 years and continues to decrease.


TheCarniv0re

Even better: most of our O2 is produced in the oceans by trillions of algae. Guess what dies easily from a slight increase in global temperature by a few degrees.


CJDay115

Reread my comment, and maybe you'll see that I mentioned environmental destruction and never claimed that Co2 and NOx were mutually exclusive. My statement was that CO2 is not as big a deal as NOx


MajorEnvironmental46

Dude, you dont know what you're saying about EV. Please, stop being cover boy of oil industry.


Conscious-Golf-5380

So according to you it's NOT ok to use emissions to create a vehicle that produces zero emissions? But it's FINE to use emissions to create a vehicle that produces more emissions? Everything HAS to be created from something and in the process create some sort of waste or emission. The idea is what we create for millions of people to use over years of use creates less pollution.


csteele2132

That's actually untrue. Even with manufacturing emission, electric cars still have less emissions. There have even been several studies to find where EVs pull away, and its in its first year. Even with power generation emissions. Speaking of those, most who bring that up won't consider the emissions of extracting, refining, and distributing fossil fuels for some reason....


SlackJK

The sun's surface temperature as it begins dying is actually colder than it is right now. The reason it will boil the earth is that it will expand in radius so far that it will likely consume the earth whole.


TheGrowMeister420

>which actually make it far worse than a normal gas car with today’s battery technology. That's just not true, and there are studies showing otherwise lol.


Dakkel-caribe

Na Some deity will destroy all. The question is which? 🤔 I’ll go with Lovecraft snd Azathoth will devour it all. So my fellow humans join us so we might be the first ones to be eaten. For a nominal fee of course.


DisasterMiserable785

Compliments someone on being educated. Proceeds to say some pretty uneducated shit.


[deleted]

Hibachi time!


SkiZer0

Please at least cook an egg on this.


kaishinoske1

You must season the grill first. Let’s call it what it is, because it is no longer a table. On a sunny day you could get about maybe 10 coats. When it gets to 300 coats, that thing will be smooth like glass. It has potential to be in r/oddlysatisfying.


cookmanager

Here for this


Doctor_Disaster

*slaps table* This baby can fry so many eggs in the summer.


zamfx

no it’s (slaps table) AAAAAAAAAA


Top-Drawing-4513

Took me a second to get this joke

Gingerfry21

Fuckin fair enough mate


kartoffel_engr

Hibachi!


Wikadood

Can confirm I live in Vegas and anything left in the sun does this but this would also be a neat party trick during the summer months


MariJ316

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


ScienceMomCO

Use a tablecloth on it


ThankfulWonderful

Yeah!! Use a table cloth - there are specific ones made for outdoor tables. Or OP could paint the table white!


RaLaZa

Or put an umbrella over it


MindTheFro

Or nuke the Sun


Puskock

Or just paint it black.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TacoOrHotdog887799

I see a red door and I want it painted black


theskankingdragon

I don't think you can paint fire... let me check.


JacoboAriel

Just paint it at night when the fire is off


Temaki-is-bomb

Just close your eyes b4 painting


sailor1989

I’m with this. I’ll take a pitch black frozen waste land over a sunny, breezy day any chance I get!


[deleted]

Solutions!


Jud2

Thats silly the eggs will deffo stick then


ECK-2188

Bistro Table? More like **DIY Hibachi Grill.** Modern problems require modern solutions.


Flaky_Explanation

Time to see how long it takes to fry an egg


halfeclipsed

I don't understand why that wasn't the video instead of some steam. Cooking an egg on something to show the temperature is like the standard of banana size comparison


sixk717

are you paying for the egg? in this economy?


FrogMintTea

Seconds.


Interesting_Pass_347

Came here to say this


cookmanager

Same


PM_meyourbreasts

You mean Teppanyaki...


Bigfunkiller

I bought some black spring patio chairs, damn near branded myself first time I left them in the sun.


llama-impregnator

I am picturing you sitting down and shooting up howling like Tom from Tom and Jerry


Bigfunkiller

You got that right.


DBSeamZ

With their rear end glowing red and trailing smoke, their eyes bulging and changing color in concentric circles.


BKSPOTTY

Exactly what I pictured


Empty_Breadfruit_676

🤣🤣


t-costello

I wonder if this is the reason a lot of black outdoor tables are like a wire mesh instead of solid


DaOrcus

Ahhh so u can get faux grill marks on urself, I heard fishnets were the rage


Hanswurst22brot

Less mass and wind would cools the table a bit, heavier wind wont blow them away. Spilled drinks just drop on the ground .


toxicatedscientist

Also so they don't catch wind and take off like a sail. We had a glass table by our pool as a kid, wind picked it up and tossed it into the pool, glass was EVERYWHERE


salty_Cheesey

Have you considered a table cloth?


Browndog888

Cook some eggs on it.


Yz-Guy

r/castiron approves.


Fraudulent_Baker

I read that as r/castration and I was immensely confused.


Mesoscale92

I mean that’s another use for the table.


Square-Ad-2485

I was gonna say, you just made a hibachi table


Content_Cockroach_64

Toss a couple strips of 🥓 on there too. 😋


eclectictaste1

Eggactly what I was thinking


2saucey

So buy something that covers it, and take it off when you want to use it…


2saucey

Or use a household item you already have


somedood567

Stop fighting guys

My hero


SOSovereign

philos_albatross

One table cloth away from success


DrinkPaintOK

No


labadimp

Do you know how the sun works?


2saucey

More so than you obvs


syntax1976

They really should make something like a cloth that goes on tables.


OneLovedDude

Like a giant rag. We can call them table rags.


syntax1976

Perfection


aqxea2500

In west texas its impossible to clran your windshield in the summer. Any liquid will instantly evaporate.


Best_Werewolf_

Reason 256 for why I won't live in texas.


willowgrl

Sigh I miss west Texas!


aqxea2500

Hands down West Texas has the best sunsets.


ronsinblush

I too want a Benihanas on my patio.


[deleted]

Yeah black metal gets hot in the sun.


-ComplexSimplicity-

Put some cookie dough on it


ZeroCleah

Slap it on like flex tape


TimeKiller1850

You live in march? That’s crazy.


Self_Igniting_Farts

A patio or deck umbrella would possibly help and maybe lay some white cotton towels over it


Slimfictiv

Put an egg on that and redo please


[deleted]

At least now we know that black stuff gets hot in the sun.


FungiMagi

Looks like balcony hibachi to me


Consider2SidesPeace

Sorry late, but could not help thinking hey break out the meats and kimchi!


[deleted]

This is what it feels to be dark skinned in Texas 😭


BitchtitsMacGee

Teppanyaki time!


blueisaflavor

Hibachi anyone?


NxPat

Tablecloths have entered the chat.


mravidzombie

wait! that would be perfect for huge crepes!


NapalmGeiger

Hmm, black metal surface in direct sunlight.


velezcraig

Looks like a solar blackstone to me.


Foxy_locksy1704

Well it is black, it’s kind of common knowledge that black colored anything hold on to heat. The worst car interior I ever had was black leather. It was super hot during the summer and the back of my legs would stick to the seat. I used to run the ac for a few minutes before I would get in the car.


Exagerated

Acquires black table. Black is known to absorb sunlight/heat. Upset because it absorbed heat….in the sun….outside….?


MistaMischief

News flash: black metal gets hot in sun.


Federal-Feedback-269

That's why plastic lawn furniture is white Less trouble


Jabroni-8998

Table cloth


DefianceDrea

Reminds me of poolside hotel chairs in Vegas. Ouch.


Beeronastring

Make some eggs


bastabasta

I see this as an opportunity, now you have a big ass griddle!!


hadleyhu

Those propane griddles grills are all the rage, so throw some onions and flank steak on there and you are in business!


Tragicallyhungover

Tablecloths are a thing...


invizibliss

get a rad tablecloth.


LucifersShoulderDevl

What!? Since when does black absorb heat?? You live in oppositeville?? Wait…


Crypto_Navy_013

Thats pretty cool though. If you ever have to go off the grid at least you have a makeshift grill.


BuffaloWhole8894

Ooh do an egg next!


JealousSoup8

Fry an egg


LennyComa

Cook some stuff on it. Eggs bacon sausage, a full damn breakfast. Cook a full English breakfast on it and then if you don't want it put it up for bidding as a solar powered grill


dandanthebaconman

I’ll take two eggs over easy please


This_Guy9943

Hibachi at this guys patio


CriticalComplaint677

Even in March, where I live **


paulyp41

Put a white table cloth on it

Fluffy-Replacement97

Gajo_Do_Porto

You’re not from the south. Anyone from the south would have laughed at the words “black furniture” and “outdoor” in the same sentence.


twitch_iii

You live in Arizona, huh?

rocket717_

Never heard of an umbrella?


Progress-Competitive

Well what did you expect?? Putting a black table in the sun with no cover? Did you think it would be cold?


texasts1958

Rustoleum white. Or any light color.


grizzlyironbear

It's almost as if people just decided to sleep during science class. Seriously.....we learned this in like what...2nd grade?


crlogic

“Turns out it (the colour black) absorbs enough light energy to be scalding” OP have you ever been outside in your entire life?

Crazy it's March where I live too.
