I was once in someone’s homemade sauna (he was a materials engineering professor, so I had high hopes for safety, but I probably wouldn’t do it again) that was basically a structure around a superheated pipe like this.
Yeah srsly, how. Its so evenly, if its not a liquid iron pipeline i cannot phantom how this happens except Photoshop. Eletric stuff is usually bolts or cables, most gas stuff isn't that hot, maybe some chemical piping but i don't know enough about chemical processing to actually guess.
Using a Google image search I found that this version of the image was apparently cropped and flipped from an older one:
Then, using Tineye I found that that version of the image was posted a bunch around 2008. One of the places it appeared was this gizmodo article which is 404'd today but was saved in the internet archive:
That article says its a form of decorative interior lighting, so I would guess that this is a colored fiberglass pipe with some kind of light inside it. Given that it was 2008 it might've even been a fluorescent tube.
Obviously it's highlighted because I'm supposed to interact with it
Edit: hsopital
Obviously my next quest item. Better smash at it and grab the drop.
One answer probably is 1200 °C - 1300 °C (2200 °F - 2375 °F).
All the other pipes go into cut outs while the glowy one is mounted flush to a smokeless, unburned wall. Is it a funny shaped light?
Ya know That's a good theory
Edit: I looked up light up pipe and I just got a weed pipe lmao
Man now I wanna troll people like this. Anyone know if it's illegal to do that on a mechanical floor?
anyone got the image of that red-hot bolt in an electrical cabinet that looks like gummy candy?
Lmao yeah that looks a tad spicy
this one?
Not quite, but same kinda thing! IIRC it was specifically a still image, perhaps even properly meme-formatted
Oh lord, that caption gave me chills. Imagine touching that device.
As someone with 0 electrical knowledge past high school, this is fucking frightening...
Somebody used the wrong rated fuse
I just realized Lemmy doesn't yet have a "Forbidden Snacks" community.
That looks nsfw
And possibly NSFL
Remember, do not touch the pipe.
I'm afraid to go near it. Just looking looks dangerous.

that actually sounds like a safe-ish way to do a sauna!
Pipe integrated heating
Brace yourselves, the "integrated heating" memes are coming!
(Maybe as much as one or two more!!)
I wonder how long you could stand next to it before you got a sunburn.
... give it a lick ...
...Ooh! It tastes just like raisins...
Sweet lemonade
Mmm, sweet lemonade!
As long as it's still yellow there shouldn't be much uv
Oxygen Not Included 2 looks cool
That does not look like an optimal sub at all
What the fuck? How does this happen?
Luminophores have to be transported in glass pipes to avoid reactions and improve factory æsthetics.

That makes so much more sense, thank you for your time!
The water being transported was hot enough to make the pipe glow.
You know what water does when it’s this hot? It’s definitely not „being transported”
What? What it does?
Something somewhere may have gone wrong.
It'd turn into a wet noodle anytime now.
