(Enter RADISHN’T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS’N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)
RADISHN’T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell
Of diff’rent flavours gained by simple act
Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?
MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!
FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.
RADISHN’T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?
Without the guide of others I assumed
That heat was merely added for the sake
Of expediting this solution’s brewing!
Half a decade I have spent, or more,
Not questioning this worldview I had made.
In fact, I am myself a bit surprised
That you might think that I, your dearest friend,
Might have a patience of sufficient stock
To wait until a pot of water boils.
FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?
The microwave will beep when it is done!
CATS’N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!
Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!
FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know
That I have not the patience, like our Root,
To boil upon the stove our favour’d drink?
CATS’N: It takes less than a minute!
FROG: On what plate?
Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?
CATS’N: How long can take your stove to fill the task
Of boiling but a single cup alone?
FROG: In minutes?
CATS’N: Yes!
FROG: I counted seven, once.
CATS’N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!
If on a middle heat you place the cup
You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.
Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate
Or even less, if you should have a pot.
FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?
You place upon the iron stove a mug?
A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?
How do these flames, though medium in height,
Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?
Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched
With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!
(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)
KING: Ev’ry single person in this group
must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
Guys this took me way too long to transcribe but I could not go without posting it. wizardlyghost wrote that shit in iambic pentameter. This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone use iambic pentameter when imitating Shakespeare, and they did it fucking flawlessly
ETA Y’all magpiecrown illustrated this and it’s the best
I greatly appreciate you posting this. That was extremely impressive and absolutely hilarious!
I act’ly think they may have done better
Than William Shakespeare often did himself.His lines are full of near approximates
Of perfect iambic pentameter.Well in Shakespeare’s defense, he has to write full plays like that, while this person just got to focus on a scene.
And Shakespeare did not have chatgpt
Delightful. I love how catsnraincoats speaks through their phone, like they have to translate from meows or something rofl
To be honest I would use the microwave before I’d use the stove. Stove takes ages because it has to heat up the bottom of the mug before it actually starts transferring into the water.
But holy shit guys. Kettles are literally designed for this purpose.
Kettles are literally designed for this purpose.
Fuck yeah. Love me a @TechConnectify@mas.to vid. As a non-American, before I first saw that one, I didn’t even know microwaving water was a thing Americans did.
But since seeing it, I now actually use my kettle to boil water for other purposes, like cooking pasta, too. It’s great. Both much faster, and also uses less water than my old method, which was pouring hot water out of my kitchen tap (which required waiting a long time and a lot of wasted cold water for the hot water to get through the pipes from the water heater to my kitchen), then pouring that into a pot, then putting the pot on the stove and bringing it the rest of the way to the boil.
I’m slightly too young to get away with making this joke honestly, but
You drink the water that comes out of the hot tap?
I don’t get the joke I’m afraid.
Electric kettle ftw.
The americans are crying in 110V right now.
Are you people putting your mugs directly onto the stove top?
Honestly some comments I saw made me think people were actually doing that, yeah.
But me? No. Like I said, I use a kettle, that’s what it’s designed for.
I did used to boil a pot of water on my stove, for things like cooking pasta. But these days I even boil that in my kettle before transferring it to the pot.
I am decades old. And I just figured out I could use my kettle to boil pasta water faster.
In a British accent: “Do none of you own a fucking kettle!?”
They’re probably americans (doesn’t matter which flavour), their kettles are low powered because of that low 120V mains and not wanting to spend more on thicker wires.
Thick wires? If we don’t make new construction out of 100% “builder’s grade” trash, how will developers pocket as much money?
Even on 120V, countertop kettles are still faster than stovetop. They’re quite popular in Canada, and the most likely reason they’re not popular in The States is probably because The States drink less tea.
I went in thinking no way would I think these people could all be lunatics. I was wrong.
“Boil by nuke?”
I almost disturbed an entire hospital waiting room.
Cold brew tea is a thing. It just takes way, way longer (like 12 hours). This is how my mom used to make iced tea. Just throw a couple bags in a pitcher and have it in the fridge overnight.
I wonder how different it tastes; even when making iced tea, I still use water from the hot spout (instant hot water from a small spout on the sink) to ‘brew’ the tea. Might have to try this but I don’t want to toss out a jug of tea lol
We always did sun tea. Tea bags in cold water, then placed in the sun to heat up that way. Which could get quite warm in the summer sun.
Posts like this make me want to turn on the max vertical height setting on my feed. But blocking OP instead also works
Making this comment was literally more effort then it would have taken to change the setting.
Unfortunately I don’t get to choose my own numerical value to truncate the post. It’s a binary setting on my client, I don’t mind it when someone wants to post double the usual height but this post takes the liberty too far.
I don’t want to hinder other posts in my feed just because of this one user, therefore blocking them and others may just be enough. It’s very fast and the beauty of Lemmy, anyone is welcome to block me back if they don’t want to see my opinions again.
Lemmy ftw
Do you think Lemmy invented blocking bud? 🧐
Nope pal
Scrolling through my feed, this post takes up about 2/3 of my screen at most. I didn’t see the problem here? It’s not very difficult to scroll past that.
This post is screenshots of mobile phone apps, if viewed on a mobile phone with similar aspect ratio it’ll take up 5 or so full phone screens. And that’s without the text script
It is 11 of my screen, with the image and transcript together. I do wish there was a better way to share the full thing without inconveniencing anyone
You only inconvenienced one person who doesn’t know how to set their client to view posts the way they actually want to see them, don’t worry!
I’m assuming you were trying to be insulting, which is why I ultimately downvoted you, but I originally laughed, snorted, and upvoted.
If you were going for comedic irony, I’ll gladly reup
