Did you know that Go-Gurt is JUST yogurt??!!
woah, i went to school with her. she's a very kind, very smart person
Hopefully she and her 15 year old child are doing well.
No, that can't be right..
....
Right?
I think her 15-year-old child might've saw that post recently while browsing through Reddit (the r/CuratedTumblr subreddit) and realized that that's his Mom.
First Community reference I've spotted on Lemmy, props.

This has got to be the whitest conversation about cooking rice I've seen in a while.
Never care for what they say
Technology Connections has a great video covering Rice Cookers.
I bought my first ever rice cooker today after seeing this thread and your comment and the video.
Important update: I just made rice while also watering my plants and the rice was perfect and warm. Why didn't I get a rice cooker 20 years ago?
Preach. Love my $15 rice cooker, works fine
They’re both so much simpler and yet more complex than I had previously conceived them to be. Also, knowing how they work, there are a shit tone of things you can cook in a rice cooker that would turn out perfectly.

I have that same rice cooker. Zojirushi. It’s pretty solid, so I’d bet whatever fancy crap it uses to tell if it’s properly cooked probably helped the way his stuff turned out
Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.

Haven't sorted laundry in like 20 years at least. If I get a brand new pair of jeans or something like that I'll separate it for a load or two but that's it.
brand new pair of jeans or something like that I'll separate it for a load or two
Maybe grow some cojones instead?
I just blow my load in my jeans, if you let it build up then it has the same effect as starch. Keeps them nice and crisp.
Ok, time for me to go outside.

Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
Rice and pasta can be cooked the same way. Add water and stuff to pot, then boil and drain.
I grew up thinking I didn't like rice. It turns out I just didn't like rice cooked like this. Do not drain rice. It ruins it. Cook it with just enough water for it to be absorbed by the rice. roughly 2:1
I've found that 2:1 is usually too much water for my rice cooker. 1,5:1 is the way to go for me, at least for basmati. Comes out (close to) perfect

Can, doesn't mean it should. Rice should be cooked in just enough water for it to be absorbed or boiled off. Many types of rice are packaged with added minerals and shouldn't be washed (check your packaging, you loose this if you have to drain).
Even the cheapest rice cookers use clever physics to fully automate this process and make it come out perfect every time.
Have you tried not washing rice?
It turns into a gloopy mess.
depends on the rice, how much starch. Jasmine - no need to wash, Sushi - must wash

You only have to wash one leg when you shower, as long as you switch each time.
Just make sure you have permission from the leg's owner first or things can get complicated legally.
You don't need a paper towel over raviolis when you microwave them either
It's to keep the splatter from going everywhere
Unpopular opinion: the microwave popcorn button.
Let me introduce you to Technology Connections report on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Limpr1L8Pss

It's not that it won't cook, it will just do it better on the right setting.
You can cook chicken dry on high and burn the shit out of it. It's "cooked" but not great.
Butter/evoo, seasonings and low heat is much better, but both will keep you from starving.

Folding clothes. After realizing that I've spent years grabbing clothes out of the hamper and no one seemed to notice, I decided to buy a fancy wood hamper that looks like a dresser and put my clothes in it right after they come out the dryer.
