    On one hand, this is obviously fake

    On the other hand, there’s 7 billion people on the planet and the odds that one of them would do this is very high

      The year was 1991.
      My roommate decides to eat hot dogs.
      We keep breads in the freezer so they last. Toaster is broken.
      I tell this to my roommate before I go to the toilet.
      I come out and I see a pot of boiling water with hot dogs and hot dog buns in it.
      My roommate decided to boil bread to warm it up.

      People can be far stupider than you could possibly ever imagine.

        I had a friend that liked to put butter and honey on his bread before he put it in a two slice toaster. He did this every morning for years.

        Each time the toaster broke or caught fire, he would put it out and get a new toaster and repeat the process. He may still be doing it to this day.

          Should’ve just bought him a toaster oven

            I told him to buy one. He didn’t like them. Kept using his toaster.

            He was not stupid, but he was an idiot.

            I fucking love toaster ovens. I wish we didn’t have a small kitchen.

            Aye, I put the garlic butter on the bread halfway through the toasting process, and it is beautiful.

        George Carlin once said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

        I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.

          He just dipped the hot dogs in ketchup and at them while I pissed myself laughing.

        I’m less offended at the boiled bread than I am at the boiled hotdogs.

        you might as well just eat them cold, they’re precooked. You heat them on a pan (or grill) to add FLAVOR. boiling generally removes flavor. Browning the skin in some way (Grill, pan, those rollers at gas stations,) is that flavor.

        The only exception to boiling removing flavor is hot dog carts and stands and such like, where the water hasn’t been changed… ever… Yes. it tastes amazing. no. You don’t want to know why that is.

      Not necessarily. As someone who worked in education for a bit. You’d be suprised how crazy parents can act, and how they can overinterpret everything as political.

      One parent got mad I was teaching the students about “radicals”… in math. (you know the opposite of the exponent, the radical).

      I think (hope) they felt very embarrassed when I explained that to them.

      Is it obviously fake? In a country where far stupider shit happens regularly?

      Yeah this looks fake because it’s a dramatization of reality. I’ve seen young dudes IRL argue whether it’s “gay” to wash the balls, and the unmentionables behind that. Literally just soap and water bathing. We’re talking people so uneducated they don’t know the word “gooch” or “taint”, or anything similar. There’s always at least one older dude who leaves to shower like a normal person, but he’ll be back later to buy some weed.

      Tangent, but can you imagine buying weed from someone who doesn’t wash their ass? That’s part of the history of the war on drugs. Unwashed perineums, in your lungs.

        When you can’t get it legally, you do what you gotta do.
