I'm impressed the water has its own phone to facetime people with.

[-] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Maybe he is FaceTiming it from his Apple TV

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

Or his iPad or Mac

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Smh all these people giving their water phones instead of stepping up and being a parent 😔

[-] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world 51 points 8 months ago

Water without anything in it doesn't boil over

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Until it suddenly does, and violently if actually superheated.

[-] XbSuper@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

It's not becoming super heated in an open pot.

You can't superheat water in a pot on a stove. I don't think you can at all with a conventional stove.

That’s what the impurities are for

Tbh it doesn't even boil at all, like trees that make no noise when falling if nobody is looking, water doesn't boil either. It requires conscious observation, similar to photons acting as a wave until observed which then they are particles.

The first (known, at least,) webcam monitored a coffee pot.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

For basically the same reason: they were too lazy to check and see if the coffee pot was full.

Does your face also need to be visible to the water, for this to work?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 44 points 8 months ago

Yes, it's mostly an intimidation thing

[-] netburnr@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Actually makes it worse. The watch pot never boils.

[-] M137@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

It's "a watched pot never boils."

How did you fuck that up so badly?

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago

Budget cuts.

But who took the picture of the phone pointed at the water?

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

That would be the fridge.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Or just like… set a timer? 6 minutes is what it takes for my pot to boil.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 27 points 8 months ago

That's far too low tech and easy, gramps.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Back in my day we used to have to stick our fingers into the water to tell it was boiled. Blistered sisters, we’d call em. It was the style of the time

Wow if only there was some kind of device specifically designed to boil water for you that has a switch that automatically turns itself off once the water is boiling.....

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago

Electric water cookers apparently don't work so well on 110V

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

It's called a fucking kettle

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 4 points 8 months ago

I couldn't remember the word, in Dutch it's called a 'water koker', which literally translates to water cooker, so I just used that

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 3 points 8 months ago

Ok, now I feel bad

Recall the rule of quantum imaging.

[-] rushaction@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

Sigh, amusing but really unnecessary effort.

  1. use a lid. Water boils significantly faster with one!
  2. buy a $5 pot minder, it'll make noise when the pot starts boiling

There done.

Your phone is a small TV 🤦

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Why is he just boiling pots of water on the stove? Shouldn't there be some kind of food in the water? It looks like it's already boiling, what is he waiting for?

I hope he posts the video of the phone tipping over and going into the boiling water

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Lots of things need to go into already boiling water to cook properly. Pasta for one. Depending on the rice and the texture you're going for, that can be better cooked by adding it to already boiling water. This is the same thing as preheating your frying pan or oven.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Why would he need to film it then? Water by itself doesn't boil over.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

He watched TV. It's easy to miss the time while doing something engaging, by a lot, up to tens of minutes. So he dropped a facetime window over his TV screen, I guess? Or onto another phone he has at hand?

I think that he did that post because it's silly and didn't put more effort than it needs.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

This is the real question.
