I find the definition of "normal" of the last editor quite worrisome and demeaning towards those who do know. I even dare say I was offended. I also think this very fun answer doesn't make any sense and has any justification if an explanation is given.

Dihydrogen monoxide (AKA: Water) seems to match almost all the criteria:

  • Absorbs (a huge amount of) heat - it's specific heat capacity is about $4.2 J g^{-1} K^{-1}$ and the heat of fusion about $333 J g^{-1}$
  • It can occur naturally, but our technological civilization is quite capable of producing it artificially (using electricity)
  • If you need to evacuate the absorbed heat without warming the surroundings up again, the best and quite low tech solution is to arrange the exchange of "heated" blobs of the matter from high temperature regions with "cooled" blobs from low temperature regions. This is something that can very well occur even naturally.

Normal people doesn't know about dihydrogen monoxide
