I think you're thinking about avocados

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Bananas here last about three days of perfect, then become merely good for a few more

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

In the interim- fruit flies fruit flies fruit flies...

I've given up on keeping fresh fruit around.

I put our (cheap) air popper in a big box so it cant really "miss the bowl" :D

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Two air poppers, a whirly pop, and a, bags of microwave shit for emergencies

[–] NightmareQueenJune@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

And put sugar in the pot as soon as the first kernel starts to pop!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Make it in a pot. The taller the pot, the less popped corn will be touching the bottom, so less is burnt as the others take time to finish. 👌

Guys, you just listen and wait until there's three seconds between pops, then it's done.

I knew what that link was before even opening it. 🍿💦💨🪄

I didn't click it but it's Technology Connections, right?

And now, through the magic of posting it twice, you can watch it again, or for the first time:

I could fall asleep listening to him tell me all about why I should use the pre-wash function on the dishwasher.

[–] SpicyTaint@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Am I weird for liking slightly burnt popcorn? I'm not being sarcastic, it's so good.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but we like weird

I can smell this post and the disappointment.

Imagine making microwave popcorn. Smh

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I make stovetop popcorn in the microwave.

The real trick is to actually read the god damn directions, which tell you to not let the time go all the way and stop the process once the kernels are popping longer than 1 second apart. If, once it starts popping, 1 full second goes by without a pop, it's done.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Technology concessions did an episode on this. Those instructions are for the lowest common denominator of microwaves.

If your microwave has a popcorn setting that uses sensors, is almost always the best option. Some use humidity, some use a microphone, some use both.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Those instructions are for the lowest common denominator of microwaves.

That affects the overall cook time, not the bit about stopping when the popping slows. Even making it on the stove, you need to take the pot off the burner once the popping slows or you'll burn what's already been popped.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I feel like you stopped reading after the sentence that you quoted. Here, let me repeat the rest for you

If your microwave has a popcorn setting that uses sensors, is almost always the best option. Some use humidity, some use a microphone, some use both.

They have sensors to detect that for you. Sometimes using literal microphones

Some of us live in the future. A future where every time I make popcorn my blueteeth speakers crackle so I can't hear my cryptobro podcast and go all in on bitcoin in 2018.

[–] 123@programming.dev 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Fake, 3:37 should still have some un-popped kernels.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

So should 3:38.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then you run for 3-5 seconds after it cools a moment, then let it rest in the microwave for about 20 seconds and it’ll keep popping in the hotbox.

[–] 123@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear HOUSE ON FIRE! HALP!

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Aha but no more un-popped kernels!

[–] KittyCat@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Stop making your popcorn in the microwave!

[–] phaedrus@piefed.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

If rule 34 is for porn, then rule 37 is for corn

[–] M137@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Very burnt popcorn is such a horrific smell and it takes so long to go away.

I have a popcorn popping machine like what they have in theaters. I was going to sell it because it takes up way too much space and I need the money, but then I tested it out and it is one of my favorite things. When I have cravings, I flood it full of perfectly cooked, salted, and oiled popcorn within minutes, and fill an 8 qt Instant Pot pot because cylinder shapes hold more popcorn than bowl shapes can.

Sometimes the adult thing to do is have popcorn for dinner.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

2 minutes and 13 seconds exactly for my popcorn.

It took several tries

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 3 points 2 weeks ago

Literally me last night.

Stopped it at 3:37:30, so only seared a small section at the bottom.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Popcorn tastes so much better when you overcook it in the break room microwave at work.

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

If it exists, there's someone on the internet watching it while eating corn?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago

I found the best way is coconut oil and a wok. Pops pretty much all of it, rarely burns any.
