Comment on I need a thermometer 🌡️
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 months agoSounds like they wanted a thermometer but didn’t know that cooking thermometers have different names and was presented with pictures of cooked meat. Judging by their reaction, they find meat unappealing. Their indignation is borne from seeing a thing that they don’t like but is key to the search term they used, “meat thermometer”, when they could have used “candy thermometer” and gotten the same products with different pictures that would be far less offensive. So they are blaming their seeing meat on the choices of others instead of their own inexperience with cooking instruments.

I got interrupted while posting… yeah it’s actually the meat face nobody has mentioned yet that took the cake.
But if you look closely I searched for just a regular old wireless thermometer and the results are all about meat thermometers. I just need a generic one that can go from 0C to maybe 150C. So it should have alarms and such that can beep at any temp along that range. Or at least not have a fuckin chicken on the screen. That way maybe I could make use of the graph on the phone screen via screen shot. But nah… here’s a chicken… imagine using this to monitor oil temp for an experiment and then having to crop all images because there’s a fuckin chicken on them.
I will look for candy thermometers. What a great idea!

I think the intentionally hideous face is the top of a pie, not meat.
