Second law of thermodynamics "broken"

[Otto]

"The second law states that a closed system will remain the same or become
more disordered over time, i.e. its entropy will always increase. It is the
reason a cup of tea loses heat to its surroundings, rather than being heated
by the air around it."

Image how it would be the other way round. How comfortable!
My old teacher at Secondary School always told the joke about opening the
window to add the four degrees outside to the seventeen inside and make it
cozy and warm . . .
