    You can, and it kind of does. Back in my 20s, when my nipples were still pierced, I tried this when I was really drunk. Thank goodness, the pictures have been deleted.

    So much for “thoughts I’ve never had before”

    Cooking dried carbohydrates such as pasta and rice generally depends more on temperature than moisture. You could use instant noodles but definitely not an egg or rice noodle.

    In fact, Rice cooks above 100C meaning in order to slow or prevent the water from boiling away without cooking the rice you need to add pressure and potentially some salt to increase the boil temp.

        It would take a lot of salt to have a large noticeable difference, but I like to believe it helps.

        As a very loose and unreliable rule of thumb for every 5% salt you raise the water’s boiling point by about a degree, but anything more than 2500 mg is over your daily recommended value: each cup of water is 236,588 mg so 5% of 2 cups water would be 23,658 mg.

        But it’s not wrong to say adding salt helps cook rice, just not by a noticeable amount.

    I think I would prefer a simple nipple piercing pasta portioner, cause I always have a hard time figuring out how much to cook.

        True. I think it depends if pasta is the main or just a side dish. But weighing spaghetti on a scale is pretty cumbersome.

        I’m just imagining the infomercial of some guy knocking the plate off the scale and then spaghetti is all over the floor saying there’s got to be a better way and then another guy comes up, and rips off his shirt to reveal his spaghetti portoner nipple ring.

    How much butter could a butter churn churn if a butter churn could churn butter? I asked AI and it gave me this big long explanation that started with the history of butter churning and ended up with some facts about the traditional way of making yak butter which I did not even know was a thing but it is and that thing is butter.

    Many times we've been out drinking
    And many times we've shared our thoughts
    But did you ever, ever notice
    The kind of thoughts I got?

    What if one day you woke up and your nipples were completely gone like no scars or anything just flat skin and then once you leave your room you find out your dad died last night and several days later you find out that your entire life he had been sneaking in your room while you slept and sucking on your chest to make two gigantic hickeys where your nipples should be because you were born without them not for any sexual reason just so you would fit in…

    why would someone pierce their nipples? what does it do besides mutilating an erogenous zone?
