The what now??? Self cleaning ovens? Literally how long have those been around haha? You’re telling me that I’m sitting here cleaning my oven all the time when I can get in that does it for me.
Ok I’m definitely overreacting to this lol. But I’ve just not heard of them and I kinda want one now.
Technically the concept has been around for about 60 years, the first self cleaning oven was the GE self cleaning oven, which started sales in 1963
It’s definitely not all it’s cracked up to be, tbh. It basically just turbobakes everything inside at extreme temperatures (typically around 930°F) and reduces food waste inside to ash. Time saving, but not a complete replacement for cleaning your oven
Ah I see. I thought it was like some chemical cleaning cycle that basically turns the oven into a dishwasher for a hot sec lol.
Does the cleaning cycle clean the oil film that coats the inside of oven? Because that’s mainly all I have to clean because I always use baking trays or sheet pans so nothing really spills over haha.
There are some alternate technologies, but the pyrolytic process is the most common I believe.
The alternatives are catalytic cleaners, who have the oven walls coated in oxidation catalysts, that use “high-metal porous enamels to catalyze the reduction of soils to ash at normal cooking temperatures”, but I won’t pretend to be super familiar with that process
And then there’s steam cleaning ovens, which I believe are the rarest, I’ve never actually seen one of these, or heard about it until I was fact checking myself today, but they use water, and lower temps than the other two, to steam clean it.
I have never cleaned an oven... The closest I ever have gotten is scraping the food off the racks till there's just a bit left. Is it that big of a deal?
I mean probably not. It’s not something that needs it be cleaned daily. Just like once every so often. It also depends on how often you use it. If you use it like once a month and only cook chicken breast in it then it probably doesn’t need to be cleaned for a long time. But if you’re using it daily with a lot of oily and greedy foods then it probably needs to be cleaned more regularly
A lot of oven doors have latches to prevent children from getting out, *erm*, I mean getting in. Self cleaning ovens also have latches so you don't backdraft yourself to the afterlife

"I can see no way in which this clever and well-thought-out plan could possibly end badly."
"I hid in an oven. Why am I hot?" I'm sorry, but the man who invented a size altering machine really hid in and oven? And then also didn't understand why he's sweating? This is just too much stupidity from a character that's supposedly smart.
I've noticed the same. Not sure how these are rising to the top, but I feel like there might've been an influx of young writers that don't quite nail it. Not to say that I could do any better, but I don't have to be Hemingway to tell good from bad.
I mean if you hid in an oven that’s on you

Oh, I just thought it was less active. Thanks!

Same. Also, how'd they get in it? Like who opened it for them? Or closed it, I guess, after they shrank?
So true
You what?
Please step out of the oven sir and place your hands on the counter.
Please step out of the oven, and place both hands on the cheezit.
I'm stuck in the oven, step-bro!
At least she’s still warm!
Warm? She's molten, for fuck's sake
Yeah… But she stopped complaining..
But now the device is broken and mom just turned the vacuum on
Second sentence alternative: Unfortunately the neighbor's cat found me this time.
Smart enough to invent that kind of device but not smart enough to figure out why an oven is one of the last places to hide in in that scenario
I’m not sure it’s malfunctioned.
This was the most convoluted way to try to have a story where someone dies in an oven lol
Revert to full size and push the door outside from within. Oven doors don't have latches, so you should be able to do so.
"it seems the device has malfunctioned" implies he can't do that, I think
Whoops. Does he get the Ant-Man thing where he gets to concentrate his full size strength into his punches?
Most modern oven doors have latches, it’s just that they aren’t manually engaged, they lock when self clean cycles are engaged

Huh. Well there you go. The more you know. Thanks for taking the time to explain that. It’s very interesting.

You're cooked...
This isn't two sentence horror, this is two sentence idiocy!
had to change the wording a little to make the message a bit clearer
How would you open it?
Probably the meat sweats, have you eaten an unusual amount of charcuterie today?
Boom! Roasted.
Is that you Phineas?
Perfect example of high intelligence and low wisdom

Bruh my 3 year old know not to hide in the oven
How did you open the oven at a small size? How did you close the oven? Shouldn’t you be able to open the oven again?
Smart enough to invent a shrinking device, still dumb enough to hide in an oven
hmm today i will hide in the barrel of this gun... what could go wrong
This isn't in the Dumb Ways To Die song but an oven is somehow worse than a dryer.
Will you even sweat if you are hit with microwaves that strong - like won't your insides just directly boil?
He said an oven not a microwave
Hmm I thought it might be a microwave oven, alright the other oven also makes sense 👍
The baby after i put them in the oven after saying "go go ga ga" instead of "give me beer":
"I hid in an oven. Why am I hot?" I'm sorry, but the man who invented a size altering machine really hid in and oven? And then also didn't understand why he's sweating? This is just too much stupidity from a character that's supposedly smart.
Has this subreddit devolved into intentionally dumb comedy or is this genuinely what people consider horror these days?

I think you know why you are sweating.
Imagine being so smart to invent a design that could shrink you, but then hiding in a very obv dangerous place to kill you. 💀
