I'm impressed the water has its own phone to facetime people with.

Maybe he is FaceTiming it from his Apple TV
Or his iPad or Mac
Smh all these people giving their water phones instead of stepping up and being a parent 😔
Water without anything in it doesn't boil over
Until it suddenly does, and violently if actually superheated.
You can't superheat water in a pot on a stove. I don't think you can at all with a conventional stove.

That’s what the impurities are for
Tbh it doesn't even boil at all, like trees that make no noise when falling if nobody is looking, water doesn't boil either. It requires conscious observation, similar to photons acting as a wave until observed which then they are particles.

The first (known, at least,) webcam monitored a coffee pot.
For basically the same reason: they were too lazy to check and see if the coffee pot was full.
human uses internet to bounce image onto a dozen servers, captured by multiple governments, data mined and ai trained on by proprietary software company, just to not spend five minutes standing
Does your face also need to be visible to the water, for this to work?
Actually makes it worse. The watch pot never boils.
It's "a watched pot never boils."
How did you fuck that up so badly?
Budget cuts.

Wow if only there was some kind of device specifically designed to boil water for you that has a switch that automatically turns itself off once the water is boiling.....

But who took the picture of the phone pointed at the water?
That would be the fridge.
Or just like… set a timer? 6 minutes is what it takes for my pot to boil.
That's far too low tech and easy, gramps.
Back in my day we used to have to stick our fingers into the water to tell it was boiled. Blistered sisters, we’d call em. It was the style of the time

Sigh, amusing but really unnecessary effort.
- use a lid. Water boils significantly faster with one!
- buy a $5 pot minder, it'll make noise when the pot starts boiling
There done.

Recall the rule of quantum imaging.
This pot costs $200 by the way
Wuh? What brand is it?
I think it's called hexclad

if it works it's not stupid 😅
Why is he just boiling pots of water on the stove? Shouldn't there be some kind of food in the water? It looks like it's already boiling, what is he waiting for?
I hope he posts the video of the phone tipping over and going into the boiling water
Lots of things need to go into already boiling water to cook properly. Pasta for one. Depending on the rice and the texture you're going for, that can be better cooked by adding it to already boiling water. This is the same thing as preheating your frying pan or oven.
Why would he need to film it then? Water by itself doesn't boil over.
He watched TV. It's easy to miss the time while doing something engaging, by a lot, up to tens of minutes. So he dropped a facetime window over his TV screen, I guess? Or onto another phone he has at hand?
I think that he did that post because it's silly and didn't put more effort than it needs.
This is the real question.
