Want to make a “firing range” pun, but nothing’s coming to me…leaving this as a placeholder in case inspiration strikes later.
Good move. The last thing you want to do is post a half-baked pun.
What about a fully baked gun?
Sounds more like a cook off.
Cooking duel at high noon
I think the subject of the news article already baked it plenty
Something about packing heat, too.
The range was hot at the time so firing should have been expected?
Who knew? Them damn guns need a warning that says “Do not store in or near excessive heat, fire or flame”…
🤦♂️
A quick image search finds this warning label on ammunition saying to store it in a cool, dry place.
Well, yeah, but the gun is safe right? Right…
And cool, right?
No one ever thought of making such a warning because nobody thought anyone would be this stupid!
I’ve literally seen pocket lighters that had a warning that said “Do not use near fire or flame”, coming from a device literally designed to generate fire! 😂
People have already proven themselves excessively stupid, I don’t see why guns aren’t required to have a lengthy safety warning literally etched into the metal by now. 🤷♂️
As Dave Barry famously observed, the box a Water Pik comes in bears the warning, “Do not use while sleeping.”
Guns already have lengthy safety warnings etched into them. Unfortunately, there definitely isn’t enough space to describe every moronic thing people could do with them.
I’ve never seen any warnings etched into guns before, but I haven’t seen any newer guns made since like the mid 90s.
All I’ve ever seen etched into guns was the brand name, ammo size, serial number, and where the safety button/switch is.
It started in the 70’s, By the 80’s Ruger was putting it on all of theirs. After Dix V Baretta in the 90’s it became fairly standard.
Fair enough. I was never a gun enthusiast, but my late father had like 5 different older guns I got to try out back in the day. 🤷♂️
pffftt guns can never be the problem, we need to add the safety label to the ovens!
Just baking up some hot cross guns.
This should not have made me laugh out loud, but it did!
(I don’t have time to make an image right now, but anyway)
Hey America, how you doing?
Don’t keep your gun in the oven.
Oh.
But who can stop an oven with a gun?
Only a good oven with a gun!
Better ban cookbooks while we are at it
My microwave has guns too.
Constantly shocked by people that don’t open the oven door at look every time prior to preheating the oven.
How else will you find:
- no pilot light
- a blanket
- cast iron cookware cooling
- loaded guns
- forgotten food
Look in the oven people! It takes 1 second.
Edit: I am amazed how many people don’t look in the oven before turning it on.
I do not understand ever storing anything in the oven, its a cooking tool not a storage tool.
I will agree if you have a gas stove that checking the pilot light is a good idea, but those are becoming less common as we are discovering just how bad they are for your health - that, and induction is amazing for anything that doesn’t require an open flame (and that’s what bbqs are for!).
we are discovering just how bad they are for your health
It turns out that burning a highly flammable carcinogen in your living environment isn’t the best idea.
Best thing to cook on in the world though. It’s worth opening a window or whatever.
Disagree…induction is far better to cook on. It has much better temperature control, heats up faster, and when you’re done it’s easier to clean.
And it doesn’t do as much to heat up the kitchen because the heat stays concentrated in the pan.
I wish they’d installed an electric stove in my current place…now I have to get an electrician to come upgrade the circuit. 🙄
I am dying to try cooking on an induction with my favorite iron pans to see how much I like it vs. the gas I have now. I know if/when this thing dies, it will absolutely be replaced with an electric induction with a convection oven. [That almost rhymes…]
I don’t know any chefs who agree with you but I know four who disagree. And I disagree. But admittedly that’s a small sample size. I paid to have the gas line extended to reach my kitchen.
I’m not trying to flambe in my kitchen. I don’t need what gas provides.
I have a gas stove right now. It sucks. It likely helped give my wife asthma, and the temperature control is for shit. I bought an induction plate to play around with and it lets you set the temperature in the pan in terms of degrees in 10 degree increments. It detects when the pan has been removed from the cook top for a while and automatically shuts off. It’s cool to the touch a minute or so after it shuts off.
Induction is like cooking in the future, gas is like cooking in the Fred Flintstone past (using dinosaur farts).
I have a gas grill, and it’s good for its use as well (yabba dabba do), but if I want control over the heating element it’s induction all the way.
Which induction plate did you get? I’ve been meaning to try one out as well, after watching Technology Connections’ video about them.
Disagree. Electric the heat goes into the pan. Gas you get heat fucking everywhere, it’s so uncomfortable. And loud if you’re doing it right and have the fan on full blast. I don’t understand how people think it’s hard to cook on electric.
Well electric coils are slow as fuck to heat up and cool down… That time makes them a huge PIA to cook with. Gas and induction are instantaneous.
Oh no 5 seconds.
I know people who store valuable documents, items of devices in their ovens. Usually the reasoning is “if a burglar breaks in they wouldn’t think to check the oven for valuables”. Honestly, pretty stupid reasoning because I’d imagine any burglar worth their salt has heard that old chestnut and will probably place the oven fairly high on their checklist.
My solution to burglars is being poor.
It was probably the most unrealistic scene in all of Limitless.
I can’t even remember the last time I saw a gas range or oven that didn’t have pizoelectric starters. My cousin has a stove from the 1930s, that was probably it.
The last time I saw one was in France in about the 1990s. That’s because France in the 1990s is similar to everywhere else in the 1840s
I wonder when the black-and-white striped shirt first came into existence in France. My guess would be the 1840s because of the spread of power loom technology.
1858 when the French Navy instituted an official uniform for low level sailors. Previously they had worn their own clothes.
my oven cooking tools are stored in there im gonna need it anyway
If you’re in a small place, you store where you can. I get the impression most people never use their oven.
Because normal people don’t put random shit in their oven to check for?
Right. My oven has a few roasting dishes in it that live on the bottom, and that’s it. Who the fuck puts non-cookware in an oven when it’s not in use?
My grandfather never really used his oven for anything, only the stovetop, so he stored boxes of cereal in his oven. You know, cardboard ones.
But when he hosted for the holidays, other people would show up and use the oven… We figured that out PDQ, but not before at least one box of cereal went up in flames.
Why would you expect anything to be in the oven? Maybe the cast iron is the exception but only because it can take the heat
Fun fact: Some ovens have a storage drawer at the bottom (drawer under main door.) Some ovens have a broiler at the bottom (drawer under main door. Maybe only gas ovens, maybe not.)
And some call that storage a “warming drawer”.
Hopefully you know what you have, plus why would you put anything in storage at someone’s house, if not the place it came from?
I keep my fireworks in the warming drawer.
That’s because on some ranges the drawer is a dedicated warming drawer, with its own heating element and independent temperature control from the oven. But some people see that once and then assume every range in the world is like that, but they aren’t. The feature appears to have been more common historically than it is now, as well.
Yep, ve never had that on any stove, but do have one on my grill
Gas ovens pretty much exclusively these days, and that’s a cost cutting thing for anyone wondering. On cheap models, the manufacturer uses the same burner for both broiling and baking so they don’t have to pony up to include two separate burners, valves, and igniters. In broil “mode,” you just put the food item immediately below the burner in the drawer so it’s much closer to the source of the heat which is now also conveniently above it rather than below it.
I’m reminded of a joke from Burn Notice where Michael has kept a folder of critically important blackmail files in his mother’s oven for several seasons. He just casually points out she never actually cooks anything herself.
That show was awesome.
The longest Hyundai commercial ever.
(Yes, it was good)
Thinking that’s a good idea, and remembering to do it, are two different things.
Also there could be a cat in the oven, or in America, a cat with a gun.
Yes, but, what about a Good Cat With a Gun? Endless lives could be saved!
At least nine!
Because I know that I didn’t put any random things in there. I’m not insane.
The need to adjust oven racks should make checking the oven a thing.
So you’re saying they had a… cook off?
On this episode of “Great American Bake-Off”
I didn’t know they had a version with kids competing
Nice
Mythbusters S05E16. Loose bullets fire off but do not have energy to pierce the metal. A gun will fire a lethal bullet
Hot bullets get your hot bullets!
I wonder if there was a round in the chamber, and it was able to cycle.
Only one way to find out
Because of the lack of barrel. But in this case the gun was loaded so it should come out full force
Amazed to see this. New old house. Used oven for first time. Some sort of stench and black gunk dripping from top heat shield. Gas stove. Investigate. Pull out pieces of a gun. Glock or something. Previous owner stops by for mail (unusual situation). I had over the melted pieces, “you forget something in the oven?” “Oh shit. No problem, I can fix it.” "uh… Okaaaaay… "
He can 3D print or just but a new frame. The metal parts will be fine.
But maybe that individual should not.
True
Maybe he meant he could fix the oven. Which he could … by moving.
What is this scenario referring to? Is there another article with actual details, or…?
They fucking tested this on myth busters. Don’t store bullets near fire
Pretty sure I learnt this one from a Chip n Dale cartoon when I was about six.
I mean to be fair who likes to eat cold lead
On one hand, it’s stupid as hell to store a firearm anywhere but in a safe/cabinet designed for them. An oven is another level of stupid
On the other, I used to store our cast iron Dutch oven in the oven and I can’t tell you how many times I started preheating the oven and then remembered to take it out. Usually after its oil seasoning started to heat up
Uhhhh, also don’t store loaded guns? Like, at all. Anywhere.
This is the part that’s boggling my mind.
- Stored guns in an oven.
- Stored guns loaded.
But not content to stop there:
- Stored loaded guns, inside an oven.
This headline is AGAINST THE SECOND AMENDMENT! Not Be Infringed MEANS NOT BE INFRINGED! I can Store my Gun WHEREVER I want!
I worry about the people who need to be told things like this. How did they survive childhood without signs warning them not to breathe water or drink the contents of thermometers?
A primary school child took a gun to school, so apparently there needs to be a manual (and, well, training?) as a mandatory thing.
Can’t go to school if you ain’t got a gun.
Being sheltered through life?
