It all becomes heat eventually in the end though. Sometimes it's just a multi step complex process outside the physical bounds of the heater.

Wait a sec, is the universe just God's space heater?

Yes, what is that motor doing? If it's a drill, it's spinning a drill bit and that drill bit generates a lot of friction when it tries to make a hole in something, and that friction generates heat. If it's spinning a tire, that tire generates a lot of friction with the road.

In god’s universe it is winter and that’s why the earth is heating up. It says so right in Ecclesiasties. Boom, toasted climate change nerds.
