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

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe he is FaceTiming it from his Apple TV

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Or his iPad or Mac

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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

Water without anything in it doesn't boil over

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Until it suddenly does, and violently if actually superheated.

[–] XbSuper@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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 43 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes, it's mostly an intimidation thing

[–] netburnr@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually makes it worse. The watch pot never boils.

[–] M137@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It's "a watched pot never boils."

How did you fuck that up so badly?

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Budget cuts.

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

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

That would be the fridge.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years 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

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.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Recall the rule of quantum imaging.

[–] qnick@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

This pot costs $200 by the way

[–] supercriticalcheese@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

if it works it's not stupid 😅

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is the real question.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Maybe he is purifying water because of a water main leak. Did you ever consider that?
