minus-squarespongebue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoEverything with energy, sure… But I’m not sure that all matter has energy. Water, for example, has zero calories/energy. In fact, cold water effectively has negative calories as your body has to use energy to bring itself back up to temperature.
