Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life

  I know what you mean but also there is a viseral vibe around microwaving water in particular that feels very caveman coded in the weirdest way.

    A microwave oven’s function is literally to heat water in any food item.

      You shouldn’t microwave water though, because there’s a chance that it could be superheated to the boiling point without looking like it and that can be dangerous.

        A really small chance that is only somewhat significant for distilled water and can be very easily mitigated by lightly tapping a teaspoon for a test.

        I do this everyday. The danger is not knowing but it’s not really riskier than being splashed by boiling water because you poured it too hard from a kettle.

      I’m aware but there’s this weird visceral unga bunga energy to it. It’d be like using a diesel generator to farm crypto it just feels fucking weird.

        The aura comes from yourself and your culture, lol.

    I think you got that backwards - the caveman is the one scared of the microwave and its spooky woo-woo magic that damages the water’s aura
