people think of silver as really expensive and valuable and yeah it's more expensive than most metals at something like 10~20× the price of say, titanium or tungsten, but it's only like 1% the price of gold
for that matter, people think of platinum as super valuable, more than gold, but it's actually worth less than gold according to wolfram alpha

if you're wondering how you do better than 100%: it's the realization that it doesn't take anywhere near as much energy to *move* heat as it does to *produce* it, so you just move heat from a place you don't need warm (like outside) to the place that you do want to be warm (like inside your apartment)

hypothetical people being bigoted about pronouns
if anyone ever tells you not to use singular they because it's "confusing" or "not correct english" ,my recommendation is to comply, and additionally insist on not using singular you around them, and when they ask just explain that singular you is newer to the english language than singular they, so it would also probably be confusing to them as they are clearly a time traveller from the 14th century or something

saw someone say that the moon is made of selenium and augh no
selenium is named after the moon but has nothing to do with it, just like how uranus isn't made of uranium and pluto isn't made of plutonium
the moon is made of much the same stuff that the earth is made of, which is actually really interesting and evidence that the moon used to be part of the earth
it has no more selenium than the earth does
