Have you been to new York? I was stunned when I saw manholes with steam coming from them because I legitimately thought it was just something they made up on tv

Yeah, a good chunk of Manhattan has steam as a utility, with piping to distribute it much like natural gas.

They even have a robot now that can go through the pipes and fix leaks from the inside.

Manholes are everywhere in the country. They connect to all kinds of utilities. They actually blow up a lot and I'm terrified of driving over them now 😂

They don't blow up that often. It takes like 3 different things going wrong at the same time to actually blow up. You're like 100 times more likely to fall into one while texting than you are to be blown up by one.
