Use a towel

Just make sure it's not damp, or the resulting steam will burn you

This is the kind of mistake you're doing exactly once and afterwards ask yourself why you didn't anticipate this very obvious danger.

Lol you think we learn.

Soaking wet oven mitts has happened at least a dozen times. Oops

...guilty as charged

I think it's the air in the cloth that isolates, and water just fills the gaps.

I've used my jeans as oven mitts before.

First night in new apartment, making frozen pizza, oven mitts are... Wait, do I even own oven mitts? Is there a towel around? Jeans are thick, that should work!

Sitting on the floor, sans pants, eating a Red Baron off the box it came in, sliced haphazardly with a pocket knife is peak adulting.

Uh... I just slide the pizza out of the oven onto the box. There's a bit of skill involved to do it in one smooth movement to keep from very mildly burning yourself, but it's totally doable.

There may have been "other factors" that were not legal in my state at the time contributing to my pantsless genius...

I sometimes randomly think of that girl on the bus and wonder where she is and how she's doing.

Darwin, where are you?! We need you to dole out more awards!

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Darwin awards are reserved for those who remove themselves from the gene pool. Mr Amber Lamps here can probably still put a bun in the oven.

He just can't take it back out without being burned.
