Big brain

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

Maybe he is FaceTiming it from his Apple TV
- Or his iPad or Mac
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

Until it suddenly does, and violently if actually superheated.
- 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.

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

human uses internet to bounce image onto a dozen servers, captured by multiple governments, data mined and ai trained on by proprietary software company, just to not spend five minutes standing

If they wanna spy on ma boiling water so be it
- i was thinking more of the electricity, precious metals, human labor, and other resources needed for this one human to not stand in an area for a few minutes

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

Yes, it's mostly an intimidation thing
- lol
- Ah - The CarTalk method, but with staring down instead of talking.
Actually makes it worse. The watch pot never boils.
- It's "a watched pot never boils."
  How did you fuck that up so badly?

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.....

Electric water cookers apparently don't work so well on 110V
- water cookers
  I like my water raw thank you very much
- It's called a fucking kettle
- Technology Connections has covered this (mis)conception.
- They work fine. Not sure if they’re slower or something but it’s not really a problem.
Serious question. Is this device capable of boiling more than a gallon of water and if so, what is this device?
- Serious question. What the fuck is a gallon?
- Electric kettles. You can get ones with capacity of over a gallon if you really need that.

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

That would be the fridge.

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

That's far too low tech and easy, gramps.
- 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
- Jokes on you I use my in house spying tech to translate my words using machine learning and generative AI in order to set a timer.

Sigh, amusing but really unnecessary effort.

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

There done.

I thought pot minders were little ceramic things you put in pots to stop starchy foods from boiling over?
- I'm not so sure about the boilover bit. But the primary purpose is that they trap bubbles underneath which causes it to rattle like crazy when the water is boiling.

Recall the rule of quantum imaging.

This pot costs $200 by the way

Wuh? What brand is it?
- I think it's called hexclad

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

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.
- Why would he need to film it then? Water by itself doesn't boil over.
Maybe he is purifying water because of a water main leak. Did you ever consider that?
- Not really. I feel like if he couldn't stand in the kitchen for 5 minutes for water to boil then he'd probably go stay at a hotel if there was an actual water main leak

if it works it's not stupid 😅

Your phone is a small TV 🤦

That's an expensive pot, I've seen those hex pattern ones before.

they're like $10 at Walmart
