The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Constantly shocked by people that don't open the oven door at look every time prior to preheating the oven.
How else will you find:
Look in the oven people! It takes 1 second.
Edit: I am amazed how many people don't look in the oven before turning it on.
I do not understand ever storing anything in the oven, its a cooking tool not a storage tool.
I will agree if you have a gas stove that checking the pilot light is a good idea, but those are becoming less common as we are discovering just how bad they are for your health - that, and induction is amazing for anything that doesn't require an open flame (and that's what bbqs are for!).
I know people who store valuable documents, items of devices in their ovens. Usually the reasoning is "if a burglar breaks in they wouldn't think to check the oven for valuables". Honestly, pretty stupid reasoning because I'd imagine any burglar worth their salt has heard that old chestnut and will probably place the oven fairly high on their checklist.
My solution to burglars is being poor.
It was probably the most unrealistic scene in all of Limitless.
