In panel 2, the dude has a pizza in his/her hand, and he/she has time to say "Now I have a free snack!" You don't think the temperature of the pizza would drop by even 0.1 degrees in that time?

If this object is permanently warmer than its surroundings, surely it can be used as a means to generate energy.

No, my whole point is that since it can't cool down without temporal paradox, it has to already have room temperature and be already cold

There's no way to avoid a temporal paradox. Will the dude in panel 3 be able to smell the pizza? If so, there are microscopic particles from the pizza being emitted into the air. That means that by the time the pizza reaches panel 4, it won't be the same pizza that was brought into panel 2.

I guess that puts my crumble argument to the next logical step

Yeah, even if it's a pizza enclosed in diamond so nothing can escape, surely they're putting fingerprints on it by handling it, so it will change from cycle to cycle.
