Comment on How solar panels generate electricity

I know this is supposed to be a joke, but it’s important to understand how it really works:
- particles from the sun hit the solar panel
- the panel accelerates those particles, which creates fissile material
- the fissile material is the used in a traditional nuclear reactor
- the nuclear reaction finally heats water

Giving us steam, to buy games from.

Exactly. And because the process is not perfect, the steam still contains some stray protons, which allows us to play windows games on linux.

That stray proton is enough to power CERN.
