If your pC is heating your room up in a noticeable way, then you may want to fix that.

Everyone who’s getting worked up over the viability of this lmaooo. It’s a ‘shower thought’ thread not an appeal to a scientific journal. Fackin yikes, fellas.

This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.

Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"

(For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)

It it's massively inefficient for heating so it costs more to heat the same amount of space

It's 100% efficient. It doesn't move as much heat as a heat pump, but it's as good as a space heater.

Thanks that was my thinking as well, posted in part to see if I missed something.

Can you explain that because from what I understand any device that converts electricity into heat is 100% efficient.

Not if that's not the intended conversation of the electricity. If your plug in heater also ran spreadsheets as a byproduct, then that wouldn't be an efficient heater

The spreadsheets isn't taking away heat pretty much any electricity that goes into processing ends up as heat in the end.

If I'm missing something here I sincerely would like to know what its kind of the reason I posted this thought in the first place.

It does now because we haven't made everything 100% efficient. Everything starts as potential energy and the more of that potential energy you can convert into the energy you want, with less wasted on other forms of unwanted energy, the more efficient your conversion is.

It's like the ways cars are more efficient now. No less energy is imputed but the way it's user has been made more efficient

See how well your power company agrees with that statement come bill time
