I’m confused. I did some research online, and learned that cpu’s can essentially double has a hotplate, because 99-100% of electricity consumed is turned into heat. how? doesn’t the cpu use energy to make calcuations and render things? I’m real confused.

The calculations don’t consume energy, they just move the energy around from one place to the other. Storing the result takes energy, too. You’re creating heat in every part of the process, not just the middle.
The electricity stays in the system *until* it radiates away as heat.
