Right now, here’s the rules:

  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.

How to tag: To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz

Here are the current tags:

How likely is that thing gonna catch fire when the meat render out the fat 🤔

A grease fire in an electric toaster? Nothing a bowl of water couldn't cure. /s

(/s because it would explode and could electrocute you at the same time)

It's best to submerge it completely. A bathtub is the easiest option for most people.

Would a toaster get hot enough to render fat?

Why would it catch fire in a toaster but not under a grill where there's an actual flame?

You'd never get that toaster clean again, but I'm not sure it would catch fire.

FYI, the fat dripping from steak does actually cause flare ups and sometimes even sustained flames in grills. This isn't dangerous in a grill because it's designed to cook with fire at high temps. But it can ruin your steak if you aren't paying attention.
