#this might b silly i guess but i legitimately want to know how common kettles actually are here#we've had the same kettle my entire life so ig I don't have a frame of reference for how other people boil water#can't edit polls but i would've included electric kettles if i knew those were a thing#also insane to me that it seems a lot of people microwave water... microwave-made coffee tastes to bad to me

youtube premium and I bought an electric kettle~~!!! how have I lived without one???
stopped paying for youtube premium for almost a month and are getting ads for an adblocker called pie
I thought that it wouldn't work cause google was blocking the adblockers or something.
some of the ads are neat tho, and some of them are so long I can use my kettle to make tea and go to the bathroom only to come back and its still on the ad.
don't like horror ads tho~~
also still sucks that sometimes the ads are louder than the content. they shouldn't be allowed to do that.
hopefully I've gotten used to the ads again as it's been almost a month cause I started getting ads on december 5th.
and they keep showing me "renew your subscription for more ad free videos"
Yeah screen off for music while out would be nice, and no ads would be nice too but that's about all I use it for. cause it gives you access to ad free youtube music as well, which I don't use. and avalible to download "offline" viewing of videos, which I don't use.
also YOU NEED ONLINE ANYWAY TO VERIFY AND WATCH THEM~~! so its not truly "offline" at all. you still need access to verify that you can watch the thing you "supposedly" downloaded DIRECTLY TO YOUR DEVICE~~!!
a waste of $19 if you're paying through apple.
how come it took me so long to realize this? is it a waste of money if you pay anywhere for services you don't use? or is youtube premium worth it if not through apple? tho at that it's still like $15 i think?
sucks too for long form videos of aesthetic music or something to get a bunch of ads that pull you out of whatever you were doing. but I don't use them for sleep anyway so~~ eh.
also 5 smaller ads in a row~~~
when did ads on youtube get this bad? or were they bad to begin with? also quit showing me ads for booze/alcohol please~~~ I don't drink and never will~~
and unrelated but I should've bought myself a kettle a long time ago~~ like~~~ it's faster than boiling water on the stove and I drink a lot of tea~~~ found a good gooseneck electric kettle on walmart for a really good deal at the end of last month~~~~ it was normally $200 but was on clearance for $45 and w shipping I got a $200 kettle for $50~~~ sleep deprived impulse buy cause I was looking at other ones but settled on that one and so far regret absolutely nothing~~~
probably more energy efficient than boiling water in a pan on the stove~~!!! how did I not get a kettle until now?? why are they not more common here?? Everyone needs a kettle~~~ even if it's just to cook those in a cup noodles~~~
get kettles people~~~ they're useful and so fast~~~ I timed mine cause I was curious and at 800 ml having it go to boiling takes like 3 minutes and 30 seconds. darn near instant compared to the stove~~!!
only gripe about it is that the temperatures are only in Fahrenheit~~~
I still swear both things should have both measurements and America should just go metric already~~ do what the rest of the world is doing~~ I will talk about this forever until we do it~~~~
trying my best for years to switch myself to the metric system cause the rest of the world does it~~~ and America should too~~~~
#personal#thoughts#thinking#youtube#youtube premium#idk if this is a vent or what#it's not a rant cause I'm not mad#just thinking out loud i guess#just thinking#just thinking out loud#ad#ads#youtube ads#when did they get this bad#adblocker#adblockers#why pay for stuff you don't use?#cause I didn't use most of the features aside from the ad free videos#idek how I got used to them again after paying for premium for idk how long#waste of money at this point imo#also#got myself a kettle#totally worth it#I make so much tea anyway#how have I just boiled water on the stove? should've got an electric kettle sooner#electric kettle#its so much faster#why aren't they more widespread in the US anyway?#go metric#go metric already

aw, I was actually having a really good writing night before I almost accidentally lit my house on fire 🙃
#writing liveblogging#I accidentally knocked a full cup of water off the table and onto the power strip next to the couch#let's just say.... it made some very loud noises.... and some very strong smells........#I think it might have been boiling the water that fell inside it#because it sounded just like an electric kettle RIP#it took me a few minutes to get it unplugged bc it was plugged in behind my couch#But I Survived#and I guess I'll have to work in my room until a new power strip arrives lmao

This wip is simply titled “Boiled Hotdog” and I think that’s fitting.
#limbus company#snippets#mersault lcb#outis lcb#so the premise is just wasted ishmael and heathcliff start craving hotdogs and boil some. in the common room electric kettle. as you do.#yi sang is there to have one but i havent written that down yet#mersault (and later outis) ends up the unfortunate casualty of accidentally drinking hotdog water#do they even have a common room in the bus? if not then i’ll bend canon to make it that way

I hate being a grown up. What do you mean I have to sit inside all day to wait for the plumbers to come for a second time to do a legionella test only to tell me my water heater is broken again? I should be at the club (read: cozy in bed)
#personal#they were here two weeks ago and were just completely baffled by my water supply set up#two completely different kinds of water heaters. one of which still functions but is capped off and one that works but I still get#absolutely no hot water#thank fuck I’ve got an electric shower or id be boiling the kettle and every pan I have just to take a bath#I’ve had to do that before. not fun

i need an electric kettle so bad i can't keep boiling water on the stove every time i want tea. furiously pacing around my kitchen bc if i leave i will forget about the pot and the water will burn.
#electric kettles snap when they're ready usually. or beep. i can recognize that#boiling water just fades into the background after a bit and i will forget 😑#.txt

Apparently some parts of the world don’t know electric Kettles exist
I guess most just have the type you boil on the stovetop
#electric kettles#electric kettle#TikTok#I live in Australia and know what a electric kettle is#electric kettles are life savers honestly#like you can boil water for not just tea but instant soups/ cup noodles as well

How do people cook. Do you cunts cook before you get hungry
#Having to wait for the stupid air fryer to finish making my freaking chicken patty and I HATE IT#If I can be honest about 95% of my food comes from the microwave. I don't eat much else#I don't even like using the air fryer bc it takes longer but it does make the f[od less insufferable#In the case of mozarella sticks and chicken patties#I'm standing here like ughhhhh I have to wait TWELVE WHOLE MINUTES#I'm like Spnic the Hedgehog with how impatient I am#I could snack on brownies or cookies while I'm waiting for it to cook but...I shouldn't#This is literal hell I cannot imagine cooking an actual meal#The most I'll do is spaghetti or smth which the way I make it takes like. 20 minutes to half an hour#Depending on if the water wants to boil or not#Is this why those people were posting about electric kettles or whatever.

Is this the British equivalent of looking at gory horror peeking between your fingers barely able to breathe? Ok, you asked for it….
Asking Americans specifically: reblog and put in the tags how do you make tea.
#put teabag in mug#put cold water in mug#put mug IN THE MICROWAVE#press 2 minutes HIGH#take mug out#steep tea 3-5 minutes in scalding hot MICROWAVED WATER#pull tea bag out#squeeze dry with bare fingers!#(I am very heat tolerant)#add artificial sweetener#pure aspartame bitches!#NO MILK#enjoy#joke lol#I actually have an electric kettle I boil the water on HIGH then proceed as above#but before the kettle#MICROWAVE

My human mum just bought a new kettle/electric jug. It’s actually kind of mesmerising to watch, with the sight of the bubbles gradually forming and the blue light as well. So I watched it for a while, and then Mum filmed it. The excitement just never ends around here 🙄😸
The music is called “Floating in the air” and is by Adi Goldstein. It seemed to suit the video. Unfortunately there was a lot of background noise in the original video that made it very hard to hear the kettle boiling.
