    The year was 1991.
    My roommate decides to eat hot dogs.
    We keep breads in the freezer so they last. Toaster is broken.
    I tell this to my roommate before I go to the toilet.
    I come out and I see a pot of boiling water with hot dogs and hot dog buns in it.
    My roommate decided to boil bread to warm it up.

    People can be far stupider than you could possibly ever imagine.

      I had a friend that liked to put butter and honey on his bread before he put it in a two slice toaster. He did this every morning for years.

      Each time the toaster broke or caught fire, he would put it out and get a new toaster and repeat the process. He may still be doing it to this day.

      George Carlin once said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

      I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.

        He just dipped the hot dogs in ketchup and at them while I pissed myself laughing.

      I’m less offended at the boiled bread than I am at the boiled hotdogs.

      you might as well just eat them cold, they’re precooked. You heat them on a pan (or grill) to add FLAVOR. boiling generally removes flavor. Browning the skin in some way (Grill, pan, those rollers at gas stations,) is that flavor.

      The only exception to boiling removing flavor is hot dog carts and stands and such like, where the water hasn’t been changed… ever… Yes. it tastes amazing. no. You don’t want to know why that is.
