Once made hotdogs in an electric kettle and this is 100 percent true

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

made hotdogs in an electric kettle

+5 psychological damage to Brits

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was 19. I thought I would be able to clean it.

A roommate once descale our kettle with vinegar ... it wasn't usable for days. But he learned his lessen after we made him taste a cup-a-soup from it right after.

[–] Jakule17@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

wasn’t usable

Why so? I do that too, and just rinse it a few times

[–] remon@ani.social -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because the taste sticks around forever. A "few times" won't remove it. You have to rinse it dozens of times and at that point you're just wasting water and putting the limescale back in.

Were you using balsamic vinegar, or something else like that? Cause with normal vinegar it doesnr

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not a vinegar expert. Just use citric acid or lemon juice. It just as acidic and works great, most households have it and it won't even stink up the kitchen.

baptize me in hotdog water

you and i both know

the holy stuff won't take

-nicky flowers

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

LOL. Chicago Pope?

Don't you know? ALL the Holy Water is hot dog water now. Go into any church and you'll see a priest slathering mustard and celery salt on the wafers.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Alternatively, and hear me out: what's a Pope's blessing range? Worldwide? Perhaps all hot dog water is now holy

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well he blessed the rains down in a-africa

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

No, that’s the dog from the Wizard of Oz

[–] L7HM77@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can the pope bless hotdog water? I wasn't raised Catholic, does the water need to be "pure?" Pretty sure I've heard river and lake water can be blessed, does this require boiling? Can I slough the hotdog grease from the top, would it be considered pure enough to bless?

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Priests can bless anything really. Hell, Cardinal Glick blessed his driver on that documentary called Dogma

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Chicago dogs are now holy, but only if it has poppy seeds on the bun

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Holy water is probably way more unsanitary than hot dog water.

Even on the dirtiest hot dog cart, they are using utensils and not dipping their fingers into the water.

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is simply not true. I haven’t eaten meat in years but back when I did I would’ve gladly bought some NY hot dog cart water at the grocery store to add to my hot dog water when making it. It objectively makes them taste better versus using fresh water.

I would contend that soiled toilet water is the opposite. Like a dirty unkempt toilet that doesn’t necessarily have a full poop in it but maybe some residual shit pieces or those streak marks that happen sometimes. A drop of that on anything and I’m like well I guess I don’t need this that badly

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So what happens when we mix hotdog water and holy water?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

The hot dogs fill all the holes so it just becomes regular water.

[–] loldog191@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i have a friend that used to work at a hotdog stand in antarctica, and he'd let huge containers of the unholy water freeze outside to carve ice sculptures, igloos and such. sometimes, colonies of penguins pass by and he'll sell hundreds of thousands of hotdogs, then launch little icebergs of all the frozen waste water. does that make all the oceans tainted?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago

It's how the ocean became salty to begin with

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What if they are kosher hotdogs? Any leeway there?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Automatically makes you Jewish if you aren't already.

If you are, it makes you more Jewish until you eventually achieve mega-jewdom and learn the secret of the perfect brisket.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At which point you become Texan, for better or worse. Sorry. :/

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

TIL that the REAL Zion is Texas

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

For that, I think you need to take your brisket to-go and head north to Utah.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Nah hot dpg water has no effect on us

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

What if we poke holes in the hot dog? Holy hot dog water?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

Holy Hot Dog Water.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

I read this as what people in certain online video games mean when they call something dog water (dog piss?).

[–] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago

I like to make gravy out of hot dog water.
