Microwave : boils water
Stovetop : boils water
Electric stovetop : boils water
Induction stovetop : boils water
Electric kettle : boils water
Open flame : boils water

Brits will scoff at microwaved water then straight up eat mushy peas at dinner.

Americans always shit on British food then come over and remark at how great it is.

Americans try to substitute good food with size, sugar and oil.

Haha I was just in England/UK/Britain and the food was whack, in England especially. The reason England is famous for its fish and chips is because it's the only thing that is good.

Curry is bomb though, but idk (honestly) if that counts. Colonizing India is the best thing that ever happened to England, sadly you cannot say the same going the other direction lol

Haggis fucking rules though!

In our defence (spelt correctly) all of the above are acceptable, except the microwave. Reasons being that a) the microwave doesn't boil it evenly, and you get pockets of mega heated water that bubble up and splash up in the microwave, then drip off the manky ceiling of the microwave and into your cup. B) microwaves stink. I don't know anyone that uses one for anything other than popcorn or melting butter. But if you're using it to cook as well.... 🤢

  1. Clean out your fuckin microwaves.
  2. Convection currents stir the water automatically, heating it unevenly doesn't matter. A stovetop also heats water unevenly.
  3. Stop microwaving fucking fish you dirty bastards. I will punt any mf who microwaves fish into the fuckin Gehenna.

Convection currents don’t stir water in a microwave because the heat source isn’t on the bottom. That’s the difference. You get temperature stratified water where the surface is hotter than the bottom of the cup and they don’t naturally mix.

Of course, here in America, we have this incredible technology called a spoon. Pull that bad boy out, give a little stir, problem solved.

Convection currents don't need the heat source to be directly at the bottom to stir the liquid, it just needs cold water to be on-top of hot, because cold is more dense.
Microwaves don't really heat top to bottom either, it's shooting waves through the body of the water and even the cup, directly exciting a bunch of individual H2O atoms in hot spots where the microwaves peak at, (e.g. the actual microwaves not the name of the machine) heating the liquid very unevenly. The wave could very much be heating a fraction of the top, middle, and bottom at different points in 3d space. it just depends on the peak of the micro-waves.

I mean, it’s not really a matter of debate TBH. There are a number of peer reviewed journal articles documenting the temperature stratification. Here is one source, where the authors attempt to create a special cup to heat the water more evenly.

I'm well aware of temperature stratification. It doesn't happen in a microwave in the same way.

Micro waves don't heat purely the top surface, they penetrate the entire waters body creating super-heated localized hotpots that shift the water around from Convection currents because the hotter more excited water atoms are less dense than the colder less excited water atoms above them spreading temperature out from those hotspots.
Temperature stratification only comes into play if there's no nucleation point, in which you get this.
Also, your link is dead.

You’ve missed the way that British people actually boil water though, thus missing the true reason that we’re superior.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We get it, you boil water with your anus.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

By the grace of God and our monarch we boil water however the fuck we please 🇬🇧💂🇬🇧💂🇬🇧

Ah, so with the Queen's anus, got it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

King's anus, at least keep the insults relevant and up to date please.

They still have a Queen. It's just not Queen Elizabeth II, it's Camilla.

Difference = Virtually 0, only genetic.

They still hold 0 power either way.
King, Queen, or King/Queen's consort their still just figureheads no different than a celebrity.

Also, she's going to be a Queen Dowager very soon. 😏
