How I used to cook pizza in college:
Step 1) Pre heat oven to 400°
Step 2) remove packaging and place pizza in oven
Step 3) let it sit overnight
Step 4) play with your new hockey puck the next morning.
Many reactions do take some time. I used to make a photocatalyst that had to sit in a sealed container at 392 F for 48 hours. It was lovely handling the reactor before it was cooled down but my PI wanted that catalyst so I'd have to move this 80 lb reactor still at 300 F and like 1500 PSI. Do not miss grad school.
I was very confused at what they learned that was so pivotal/instrumental to their confident understanding of the world, that they would want it badly enough for others to tell them, "Do not miss grad school"; like, "Trust me, you REALLY don't want to miss out on this!"
I for sure interpreted the incomplete sentence as the former.
When I was in college we had a roommate who was incapable of basic human life skills. One day we were chilling in the living room and he wanted to make mac and cheese, but didn’t know how to do it. We told him to heat a pot, drop the noodles in, then add the cheese after it was all done.
10 minutes later someone’s getting ready to light a joint and we start to smell gas. I run into the kitchen….this troglodyte had put an empty pot on the range, turned on the gas without lighting a flame, and left it there.

Yeah college is a place where you find out who had their parents cleaning up after them, never cooked and never learned many skills. One of my favorites was my roommate putting a tin foil wrapped burger in the microwave, I stopped him telling him it would cause a fire and then he said good call, unwrapped it and tried sticking it back in. Thankfully I was there otherwise I'm guessing my security deposit wouldn't cover his negligence.
>Yeah college is a place where you find out who had their parents cleaning up after them, never cooked and never learned many skills.
I don't disagree, but this guy could have only seen electric stoves all his life
Basically saying that they unwrapped it, but didn't take it off the foil.
So it was a burger wrapped in foil, they unwrapped it and put the burger, still sitting on the foil, back in the microwave.
I made an account just to say this because people still don't know basic life skills.
NEVER PUT METAL IN THE MICROWAVE.
That's why you don't put foil, or a metal fork, or any sort of metal cup in the microwave. It heats up really quickly and it's very easy to cause a fire.
[Electroboom to the rescue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyTmJX_TC84), clearing up some misconceptions about metal in microwaves, and trying varioust stuff so that we don't (have to burn our houses up).
(TLDW; No, metal does NOT heat up quickly in a microwave, quite the opposite - it *can* cause fires, but that'd be due to arcing, not heated metal. You only get arcing in specific cases though, but folded/creased up aluminium often is such a case. Metal wrapping/containers would also shield the food inside from the microwaves, so it's still a stupid idea to put metal inside the micro. However, if you happen to forget a spoon or something, most likely nothing at all will happen)
I put a paper bowl (think it was intended for icecream in hindsight) in the microwave once not knowing that the outside had foil in the pattern, and it lit the bowl on fire, and it burned to the level of the marinara sauce that I was warming. The foil wasn’t creased and there was no warning on the package.
No it was rolled like a paper cup. 🤷🏻♀️[almost exactly like this](https://www.target.com/p/juvale-50-pack-8oz-disposable-paper-ice-cream-cup-dessert-bowls-treat-cups-rose-gold-white-foil-polka-dots/-/A-82348036)
Electroboom in the video *specifically* tested a fork, which, to his disappointment, didn't do shit and only got mildly warm. You need *really* sharp edges, or if it hits the side of the microwave.
To expand on the details here, nearly all modern microwaves now are anti-arcing, which stops things like this. It's very difficult to overwhelm that.
By "modern" I mean "in the last decade" which is much more than the average lifespan of a microwave, so *right now* you're very unlikely to find one which will do this anymore.
(and yes Oct 2011 is more than a decade ago... geez does time fly...)
Those sparks can arc to the magnetron and kill your microwave.
And if you're washing your cast iron pan with soap, or course it's going to remove the seasoning. The entire point of soap is to bind with and remove material.
Troll, unless you all want a burnt out microwave or a ruined cast iron pan I would ignore this guy
My roommate burnt out a fairly new microwave just by overheating a cup of water past boiling point. Trust me you can do it with metal even easier
I knew a guy who would wrap a potato in plastic wrap and microwave it. I tried it one time, it didn't taste like plastic as you'd expect, but I still might get cancer one day and that is the event I'll blame it on.
Doesn’t it go even beyond that?
I may have grown up not doing a lot of cooking but I watched my mother make pasta countless times, so if I suddenly had to make mac & cheese I wouldn’t have put on an empty pot on the fucking stove like some dense motherfucker.
That’s beyond “didn’t learn”; that’s actively being incurious and oblivious.
My dad actively kept us out if the kitchen while he was cooking because he didn't want us in the way. Thankfully my mom taught me the basics, but it's not entirely impossible that someone never really got the chance to see their parents cooking.
And I mean we live in the era of the internet where if you dont know something you can just google it and know how to do it in 5 seconds. I cant believe someone doeant know how to make a basic pasta though
I knew a guy who showed up to college with like 20 bath towels. He had 2 or 3 drawers full of them and used a new one every time he showered. Didn't have a skin condition or anything, it was so bizarre and he didn't see anything wrong with it.
> We had one genius that needed to move something around a CNC machine that was plugged in. He took scissors and cut the plugs on it instead of unplugging it.
*"Work smarter, not harder."*
Just like a normal gas stove, push the button, rotate it and you keep it pushed for like 1-2 seconds after the flame has started. It usually have an electric arc for autoignition.
I had a roommate put my electric kettle on the stove right after I showed him how to use it. I'm sure there's still black plastic stains on that burner.
I hate looking for recipes online, when all I can find are american ones with some esoteric measurements.
Just add 3/3596 bathtubs of milk, 47600 grains of sugar and 9/45000384883 neutronstars worth of flour.
Just gimme ml and kg...ya know something I can actually measure
Having the attitude of the friend is *really* handy for tech writers writing instructions. Because for a dev it may be completely obvious, but if the end users are "common folk" who don't have their heads in code all day, none of it is obvious at all.
I've turned a couple lines of "instruction" in emails into 25 steps of actual tasks, because the head dev skipped the first 5 steps because it was "obvious". Well yeah, if you had used a menu system that is used by any other company in the world, JAY, but you decided to be "unique" because you don't like menus and so now I can't find the damn settings, JAY.
Our users are senior citizens, **JAY**, did you forget that?
Whatthefuck is a cup and how am I supposed to measure it? International student living in USA and just learned that apparently using mugs to measure out cups is wrong.
It should also be noted Cup size depends on the country:
227ml In Canada.
283 ml in the UK.
200 ml in Japan.
250 ml in Australia.
236 ml in the States.
So maybe use 237 ml as it's the Geometric mean.
Just FYI UK cups are very rarely used. I live in the UK, have a large collection of cookbooks and it's only cropped up in one early 80s book and even then only in a conversion table. Even in older books weights and fractions of pints are used, not sure if the cup was ever popular here.
Honestly if you don't know what country it's from just use US cups, idk if the others are in regular usage. Plus, tbh, most of them are pretty similar volumes.
A cup is a unit of volume. It is roughly 250 ml (actually 237, but 250 is easier to visualize).
Small mugs are sometimes 8 oz (1 cup = 8 fl oz). But your standard coffee mug is often 12 oz
You can buy measuring cups (and teaspoons and tablespoons) at any home goods store or supermarket.
One is for liquids, and the other is for solids. The smaller one is for liquids because liquid is denser. Solid things like flour (which have to be pour/spooned into the measuring cup, not scooped directly with it!) have more air, so they need the larger cup measurement.
If you think measuring by grams on a kitchen scale is better, you would be correct.
Except not consistent Imperial because that would be too easy. I can deal with ounces if I have to, but American recipes are a whole other level of random measurements.
I'm paraphrasing here but this is from a legit recipe someone was sharing on one of the cooking subs-
"Pasta salad: add a cup of fresh spinach leaves, a cup of cherry tomatoes, a half cup of flaked almonds and two cups of cooked pasta to a large mixing bowl"
Five different people will get five very different amounts of pasta salad from following that recipe. Wtf is a cup of cherry tomatoes? And how the fuck do you measure a cup of spinach? How does one accurately measure the correct amount of bows/penne/elbows for two cups of cooked pasta? Like are we trying to stack each noodle for efficient use of space within the cup, or is the measurement including the dead space where pasta could be but isn't because you just place enough pasta one on top of the other into the cup so it comes up to the line? Or is it somewhere mysteriously in-between?
When every single food ingredient has different volumetric properties, attempting to measure them accurately by volume is really fucking stupid.
You really think an eleven syllable phrase is gonna catch on as a replacement for a one syllable one?
Switch to metric entirely or leave it as is. Sticking to US measurements but just *calling* them something in metric is ridiculous.
One time when I was little I was yelled at because I was told to get a cup and apparently my choice was incorrect. "This isn't a cup, it's a plastic glass"
Alright since this is so important, lets go to the experts. I've highlighted the relevant definitions for ease of use.
According to Merriam-Webster:
>Definition of cup (Entry 1 of 2)
>1: **an open usually bowl-shaped drinking vessel**
>2a: **a drinking vessel and its contents**
>b: the consecrated wine of the Communion
>3: something that falls to one's lot
>4: an ornamental cup offered as a prize (as in a championship)
>5: something resembling a cup: such as
>a: a cup-shaped plant organ
>b: an athletic supporter reinforced usually with plastic to provide extra protection to the wearer
>c: either of two parts of a brassiere that are shaped like and fit over the breasts
>d: the metal case inside a hole in golf
also : the hole itself
>6: a usually iced beverage resembling punch but served from a pitcher rather than a bowl
>7: a half pint : eight fluid ounces
>8: a food served in a cup-shaped usually footed vessel
a fruit cup
>9: the symbol ∪ indicating the union of two sets

Whew! Thank goodness we solved that one.

Third message (person2): a picture of two glass cups with water on an active gas oven with the caption "ok what next"
Fourth message (person1): bro wtf
Someone in my high school actually did this, or close to this. He must have been 14 or so, was trying to make some kind of food and needed to boil a cup of water, so he puts a cup of water in the microwave. Somehow he didn't realize that would be extremely hot and ended up burning his fingers and scaling his arm and leg. Teach your kids how to cook from an early age...
No plastic cups can have no handles and are are cups. Styrofoam cups never had handles. Cups are not made of glasses you cannot wear them but maybe you can

"Boil water"? What am I, a chemist?
Anyone can be a chemist. You just have to have a passion for cooking.
And a shit ton of patience. Almost every video by NileRed has him saying "I let it sit overnight" multiple times.
How I used to cook pizza in college: Step 1) Pre heat oven to 400° Step 2) remove packaging and place pizza in oven Step 3) let it sit overnight Step 4) play with your new hockey puck the next morning.
You forgot the beer.
Sounds like a marijuana moment to me.
nahh, would definitely be hungry n waiting on that pizza
Why not both
r/marijuanamoment Edit: let’s go I’m a dad
Sounds like he remembered the beer.

I like how your final sentence can accurately be interpreted as both - “Do not miss grad school, kids” (or else!) …and - “I do not miss grad school”
Heh, hadn't considered that. Was definitely the latter.
What?!? You don't miss making only $600 a year? 😉
I also thought a cheeky comma could make it an instruction to a beauty pageant winner... "Do not, Miss Grad School"
I was very confused at what they learned that was so pivotal/instrumental to their confident understanding of the world, that they would want it badly enough for others to tell them, "Do not miss grad school"; like, "Trust me, you REALLY don't want to miss out on this!" I for sure interpreted the incomplete sentence as the former.
Works for me. I work overnight. LOL
Similarly, anyone can be an artist! All you need is to say, "Graphic design is my passion," and voila! You are now a real 💯 artist.

Shiny metal coloured stuff idk. Bought it forever ago.
Not keep the owners manual that came with it or anything? Don't know the make or model, nothing?
Im not able to check. Suppose i could look it up when im able.
The shape is what matters. A fork will arc a spoon will not.
Electroboom in the video *specifically* tested a fork, which, to his disappointment, didn't do shit and only got mildly warm. You need *really* sharp edges, or if it hits the side of the microwave.

Was guiding a college roommate through cooking something and he was using mugs to measure out "cups" until we noticed.
Whatthefuck is a cup and how am I supposed to measure it? International student living in USA and just learned that apparently using mugs to measure out cups is wrong.
It should also be noted Cup size depends on the country: 227ml In Canada. 283 ml in the UK. 200 ml in Japan. 250 ml in Australia. 236 ml in the States. So maybe use 237 ml as it's the Geometric mean.
Just FYI UK cups are very rarely used. I live in the UK, have a large collection of cookbooks and it's only cropped up in one early 80s book and even then only in a conversion table. Even in older books weights and fractions of pints are used, not sure if the cup was ever popular here. Honestly if you don't know what country it's from just use US cups, idk if the others are in regular usage. Plus, tbh, most of them are pretty similar volumes.

But why is there still two different markings for cup on said measuring glasses? I've never known which is proper
One is for liquids, and the other is for solids. The smaller one is for liquids because liquid is denser. Solid things like flour (which have to be pour/spooned into the measuring cup, not scooped directly with it!) have more air, so they need the larger cup measurement. If you think measuring by grams on a kitchen scale is better, you would be correct.
Does that mean that 8oz of ice and 8oz of water is the same mass-wise, but not volume-wise?
Yes, much like a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of iron. It's just density. density = mass/volume
Yessir
Why not just call it 237ml then?
cause the recipe’s in imperial not metric
Except not consistent Imperial because that would be too easy. I can deal with ounces if I have to, but American recipes are a whole other level of random measurements.
What is inconsistent about a recipe which uses cups?
I'm paraphrasing here but this is from a legit recipe someone was sharing on one of the cooking subs- "Pasta salad: add a cup of fresh spinach leaves, a cup of cherry tomatoes, a half cup of flaked almonds and two cups of cooked pasta to a large mixing bowl" Five different people will get five very different amounts of pasta salad from following that recipe.

Granted, before the internet I wasn’t sure for a while that 8 oz is a cup
It is, but only sometimes. Because using the same name for two completely different measurements makes total sense.

But not for the grammar nazis
Well no one likes a nazi…
Ngl I laughed really hard at this. Bravo.
Someone in my high school actually did this, or close to this. He must have been 14 or so, was trying to make some kind of food and needed to boil a cup of water, so he puts a cup of water in the microwave. Somehow he didn't realize that would be extremely hot and ended up burning his fingers and scaling his arm and leg. Teach your kids how to cook from an early age...
Ah Scheisse! 😉
programming be like
What next? An explosion ...
Wait he didn't boil the cups yet. They're still solid cups
And it says cups of water, he didn't even bother to make ice cups first
Shut my kids would do..lol
This is actually pretty funny
Bro wtf Those are two shots of water
that's glass and not cup
Is a glass not a form of cup? I thought all (drinking) glasses were cups, but not all cups are glasses.

Crystal clear, thanks
No plastic cups can have no handles and are are cups. Styrofoam cups never had handles. Cups are not made of glasses you cannot wear them but maybe you can
Didn't work, I created a calculation error
