You can do it with a conventional stove, you just need defect free pots. Also the problem is not nearly as pronounced as it is in the glass tube thingy in labs, because a pot is much wider, so there is not such a dramatic eruption.
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.
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
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
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.....
I am to believe that this also could be anything. I got a large milk container with a handle but I believe it's also 2 litres. There's also a large milk container with a handle and that's 3 litres. There's also a large milk container with a handle that's "heavy" or the weight of a small cat.
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
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.
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.
He watched TV. It's easy to miss the time while doing something engaging, by a lot, up to tens of minutes. So he dropped a facetime window over his TV screen, I guess? Or onto another phone he has at hand?
I think that he did that post because it's silly and didn't put more effort than it needs.
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
You're right, the guy video conferencing with a pot of water while he sits on the other side of the house watching cartoons is clearly a survivalist of the highest order. I'm sure he'll outlive us all

Until it suddenly does, and violently if actually superheated.

You can't superheat water in a pot on a stove. I don't think you can at all with a conventional stove.

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.
