For screenshots of humorous, clean, nonpolitical social media posts. This primarily implies Twitter, but Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. are allowed too. It should be primarily text-based though.
Rules
- Again, no politics.
- No Lemmy posts. You're already on a Lemmy instance. There's no need to screenshot it and post it here.
- No Reddit posts. That's too similar to Lemmy.
- The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
- Use correct cropping. Don't have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don't crop out the date or author.
- No doxxing. Again, don't crop out the author's name as he or she has chosen to share it, but definitely do not share extra information which may be personally identifiable or libelous.
- Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.
We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.

And yet change that to a cast iron pan and people fawn over it.
Do you typically heat your butter knives to several hundred degrees?
Where do you think the phrase "like a hot knife through butter" came from?
I think the intent is to soften the butter, not caramelize it.
how on earth do you get through life without baking butter knives?
I’m not saying it’s never happened to me (it hasn’t, but that’s neither here nor there, I measure the effectiveness of adhd treatment by rate of cooking fires so it may just be my recipes here), but how is it happening so often it’s a regular occurrence to a degree you think of it as universally regular?
First, you can totally clean cast iron with soap and it's not an issue. The "seasoning" is oil that has polymerized. It's not coming off without scraping, assuming you're using a modern soap that doesn't have lye.
Second, your cast iron shouldn't need to be cleaned as frequently because it's being heated to the point any bacteria should die. Is your food cooked enough that you won't get sick? The pan was hotter for longer.
