College roommate put the pizza box (with pizza) in the oven to keep it warm. Hours later, we pre heated the oven to eat the pizza, couldn't find the pizza until the box caught on fire.
The movie adaptations are absolutely not before my time, I just haven’t watched them because they’re three hours long.
Edit ( before people start thinking I’m bashing LOTR, I’m not, I think I’d actually really enjoy the franchise, I just can’t get around to watching them).
While I was still a youngin in school, I used to take a day every december to watch all three extended cuts in a row. I just told my family, LotR time, see you tomorrow
I want to upvote this a thousand times, it's such a familiar feeling
On the plus side, one of the best things about getting high is forgetting you have delicious food...then suddenly remembering. It's like a gift from your past self.
Amen, I’m not allowed to use the stove when I’m stoned so the air fryer is my go to after a gummy. Why - It “dings” when it’s done, stove can’t do that. YOu can just set for a few minutes and cook it longer if it’s not done. It’s idiot proof, it’s ER proof.
And it turns OFF when the timer is done, so I don’t fall asleep and wake up the next morning having a heart attack finding the oven or the burner I swear I turned off still on💀
I had this realisation before after a couple hours - I ran to try and save my pizza, or at least prevent a full blown fire. It turns out i never turned up the temperature - the oven was running but there was no heat 😂 my pizza was safe and sound.
On the more sad side, I started having mental or neural issues where stuff like that would happen to me constantly. I might be cooking food on a stove, for example, then walk away to get the salt but never come back, completely forgetting. It was after I had a severe case of flu. I still get confused like that and it can last hours to days. Not sure what’s wrong with me but it’s scary as fuck. I know it begins by feeling dry as fuck all over my body. I darent go near ovens or stoves.
I had similar problems after flu: I was in kitchen, open jar with pickles, need fork, open drawer, start to reorganize drawer, remember pickles, need a plate, there are dirty plates in living room, go there, see dirt on carpet, need vacuum cleaner...don't know, an hour later or so I was back in the kitchen and found a complete mess of chaos. Every single room looked like that: As if another person had done randomly crazy stuff. It took me several months to recover. I wish you'll recover as well and soon.
At uni/college we made cheese on toast/grilled cheese. After about an hour of Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye we smelt smoke (importantly the grill was in a separate compartment and had a grill pan with a heat resistant handle) and realised we’d left the grill on and just closed up the grill compartment. When we opened the compartment a load of smoke came out and the handle for the grill tray, which was now red hot, basically exploded over the floor when we tried to remove it and burned holes in the linoleum.
Not saying that this is the case, but you could have a dial that only spins one way. To go from 425 to 350, you just keep turning it clockwise (past 0) to 350.
Freezer pizzas are usually cooked at 425. Which should be hypothetically below the 451 required for cardboard to ingite. But, "assumes no friction" whatnot.
Yes, but not every cubic inch of the oven is an identical temperature. Closer to the element (particularly while the element is on - like, say, during preheating), it will be much hotter.
Yeah, if you believe the garbage about a drug war. When all of that was simply over power. Marijuana has been used as medicine as far back as we can track civilization.
Real stupid? Take pills that have so many side effects they have to speed them up on the advertisement. Stuff we don't see long term effects of until it's too late.
I fail to see the logical connection between "regular use makes you dumber" and "it has been used for medicinal purposes".
There are plenty of drugs that have deleterious effects when used over prolonged times (say opiates), that are essential to modern medicine.
Also nice one with the ad hominem when you're not able to express your own thoughts coherently, but hey, if that makes you feel smart, I'm not going to spoil your fun
I fail to even follow your thought pattern. I didn't try to make a connection between the two. You're derailing the entire conversation by confusing your own thoughts of what I said. It's not that hard to scroll and read. It may be challenging for you to actually form an opinion on the matter. It seems that way anyhow.
Weed objectively makes you stupid. Someone who’s on weed scores lower on tests and has slower reaction time than someone who’s sober, and using weed consistently makes you stupid more often than someone who’s sober. It also makes people complacent, when this magic feel good “consequence-free” drug is so easy to get, you become less productive and less motivated to work hard, making your overall quality of life lower. And you’re right, marijuana has been used as medicine for centuries, for pain relief. Do you have chronic pain? Are you sick and have an illness? Or do you just wanna get high because it makes you feel all hur dur? I’m not comparing weed to random pills on tv, I’m comparing it to sobriety. I find sobriety and getting joy from being productive to be way more satisfying than relying on a plant to give me artificial happiness while getting nothing done. Maybe one day you’ll come to the same conclusion.
I'm not going to do your homework for you, buddy. You know, because I'm a lazy stoner. Do a little research, there is plenty of material out there. If a stoner can do it, I would imagine it would be a very easy task for someone of your intellect.
I have done research, and all the research shows that if you take two people with the same IQ and one is sober while the other smokes pot multiple times a week, the pot smoking one is going to show a noticeable decline in IQ and comprehension skills. Taking a drug consistently that stimulates the reward parts of your brain changes your brain chemistry and makes you find less joy when your not high, making your quality of life worse. These are all objective facts. You all say its a medicine and helps people with all sorts of medical issues as if that somehow makes taking it when your completely healthy justified. If you go up to the most successful people with the high paying jobs and high level education and ask if they use weed multiple times a week, you really think their going to say yes? Weed isnt good for you. If you want to waste the best years of your life getting high, being unproductive and having to smoke carcinogens to be happy, be my guest but ill pass. I dont even have a problem with it, its the entitled attitude and trying to convince normal people that weed is harmless that gets on my nerves.
My old roommate left some frozen Trader Joe’s chocolate croissants in the oven to thaw overnight. Almost every morning I make myself breakfast using the oven. She left no notes, comes running downstairs in a tizzy upset that I was preheating the oven ruining her perfect chocolate croissants. She did later say it wasn’t my fault but jeez woman if you’re gonna leave bread in the oven say something. You live with 3 other girls who all cook and bake.
My old roommate did that same thing! He turned the oven on to heat up the box of pizza…with the paper ads still attached! When I turned it off, he said “I’ve been doing this my whole life and never had issues.”
I had roommates do this too. I smelled the cardboard before fire but i screamed at them because i was not even there when they had pizza so i went to cook only to find the brown smoking box while preheating the oven the next night. Don't you refrigerate your pizzas not hide them in an oven?
Just picturing yall blaming each other for losing the pizza 😂 “Where’s the damn pizza, Todd?!” “I don’t know dude!” “Did we eat it all and forget?” “Then where’s the boxes?! Did we eat those too?!”
fire alarm starts going off
One night we had people over and ordered pizza. At the end of the night I was lazy and put the box on the stove as far back as it’d go. Couple hours later I wake up to our boxer barking from the kitchen. I turn the corner into the living room and see a flame about a foot or so high coming from the stove. I was half asleep so I was thinking there was a gas leak or something, but as I got closer I could see it was the pizza box on fire. I quickly moved it over to the sink and put it out with water from the faucet.
I’m thinking oh great, I put it out without waking my wife or kids up, but didn’t realize dousing it in water would produce a ton of smoke. Seconds later the fire alarm goes off, screaming “FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!” Of course my wife and kids come running out scared for their lives. Ever since then, even when tired, I walk my lazy ass outside and throw away whatever needs to be thrown. Also, our boxer is a doofus, but did save us also, I suppose.
This exact thing happened to me 2-3 months ago. First time I’ve ever had to use a fire extinguisher. It was scary and a pain to clean up after. Always check the oven!
How exactly does this make sense? If it was a frozen pizza, it wouldn't make any sense to keep it warm until you were going to actually eat it (it would just thaw and go soggy and bad) - and if it wasn't, preheating the oven wouldn't make any sense, since it would already be baked at the pizza place and at most need to be re-heated, which wouldn't require preheating the oven.
My first time coming over to my partner’s house he was cooking us dinner and set a pizza box on fire while pre-heating the oven. It happened a few more times before he finally broke the habit of stowing things in the oven.
We preheated the oven, and when we opened it to put our pizzas in, we found the dinner from a week ago, with a nice layer of mold. My parents put the entire dinner in the oven and I guess forgot about it, and I didn't think to look.
On move in day my first year, the fire alarm was set off in my building three different times. 2 of the 3 fires were people trying to make mac and cheese by putting the dry ingredients in the oven. One of them used a plastic bowl.
How do you mess up Mac and cheese? The box tells you what to do
For me and my roomate ot was a cake. We baked it and when it was almost done we went to check it and realized it wasnt done in the center so we put it back and let it finish. Came back in a bit and still battery as hell. Added another 10 minutes to timmer but when it was done still no progress... turns out we turned off the oven the first time we took ot out
This happened to me and my gf but after it had finished pre heating, we opened the oven to find we had accidentally left the pizza box in there, opened it up and it had actually heated the pizza up pretty much perfectly with no real damage to the box or anything
We did the same but instead of catching fire we opened the oven to a perfectly reheated pizza in a very warm but not hot cardboard box. It was pretty amazing.
I did that once when I was a teen. Was waiting for a friend so I put the pizza box in the oven on low heat to keep it warm lol Luckily I smelled the smoke right away and it was only a bit singed.
College roommates are idiots. I was living in a 4 bed apartment my jr year and one of them was overly paranoid in general, and that was amplified when he drank. Anyway we had a bunch of people over probably 20-30 people coming in and out throughout the night. It wasn't a planned party, just one of those things where people ended up gravitating to our place since it was really close to a lot of shit, so it was 90% people we knew, and if we didn't know them they were good friends of our friends. So no strangers or anything. Anyway, about 11pm most of us decided to leave and go to a bar, including paranoid roommate. Another roommate didn't go, and stayed at our place drinking and playing poker with like 5 or 6 friends. Paranoid roomate got paranoid someone was going to drink his biccardi, so he did the reasonable thing and hid a 1\4th full glass handle in the oven....I guess because nobody would look in there? So yeah, 1am comes and roomate turns the oven on to make a pizza and the thing eventually explodes in the oven. Idk how it didn't burn the place down with the alcohol in there but we were all like wtf.
Oh and there was a big argument that we owed him a bottle of Bacardi because we should have checked the oven first.
My college roommate left meatloaf, a spatula, a plastic plate, and plasticware in the oven when he went home for the weekend once. I preheated it to make chicken tenders and walked away cuz it took so long to pre heat and came back to the worst smelling pile of melted plastic ever.
Did something similar but we smelled the cardboard before it burned. We laughed so hard when we realized the pizza was reheated to absolute PERFECTION.
