We're in a lab, which is rapidly being cooled to
absolute zero. The lab starts at 295.65000°K, and every fifteen seconds (every post), this value is reduced by 10%. (In other words, take the previous value, and multiply it by 0.9.) The poster then describes what happened to the lab as a result of the cooling. (Note: the effects don't have to be realistic; "the room is at 26.20328°K, causing a sun to spontaneously appear.")
The room is now at 266.08500°K. The scientists caught in the lab are desperately trying to burn everything they can to keep themselves from freezing to death. Only one thinks to use the (unlocked) door. The room is cold enough to freeze water, but it hasn't yet long enough for any to freeze. Badspot bans Betelgeuse for complaining about the cold.
