Someone didn’t read the article.

These are the kind of articles I do like.

I actually found that induction heated up faster, but heated up too fast, which is what caused the pan warping. Besides that, the real sticking points for me were the lack of even heating. One spot on the pan would get super hot, and the rest just got warm. Cooking bacon would result in the middle burnt to a crisp,…

So glad that you were able to get through with that!

Totally worried about air quality in the house from it. Thankfully I’ve got a window in the kitchen I open every time I cook, and I’m lucky enough to have a range hood that vents outside, which is massively helpful in keeping the air quality in check.

Nope! But I’d just deal with it for a week while they replace the lines, rather than converting to induction.

To be fair, much as I love my gas range, reducing the use of natural gases IS good for the environment.

Absolutely! I always make sure to have my range hood on, and an open window in the kitchen, usually just cracked during the winter times. Keeps the air fresh, allows cooking smells to dissipate faster, and helps keep indoor air quality up.

Yeah if I didn’t have a gas line in the house I’d probably go induction. But as long as I have a gas line, I will have a gas stove, no contest. Even at their best, induction stoves still leave strange hot spots all over the pan.

They should probably ban gas stoves and make everyone go induction instead.

There are things that I can do and react to in split seconds, because I’m so used to playing games.

So when you read the title and saw “World’s Most Popular Game”, you inherently understood that there’s only a single country in the world that was playing this game, and that no one outside of that country was actually playing it or had ever even heard of it?

It’s not even REMOTELY racist, so don’t try to bark up that tree.

“Most popular game in the world” kind of implies that the whole world is playing it.

I also think that calling our top tier baseball game “World Series” is fucking idiotic. But yeah I’ll go ahead and just fix that.

It’s even more egregious to call it the World Series, considering other countries actually play baseball.

You aren’t crazy. They used to be pretty decent. Nothing amazing, but would hit the spot if you wanted it. Around the time Domino’s transformed from being shitty cardboard with some watery sauce on it, into an actually pretty good pizza, Papa John’s took the opposite approach and turned to shit.

We’re not arguing about the word “population” and correlating it’s roots in the English lexicon.

Never said they weren’t people. But when something is massively popular in only ONE single country, saying it’s the “world’s most popular” *is* misleading, because that implies that the entire world is in on it.

There’s a MASSIVE difference between qualifying everything regionally, and not specifying that something is an extreme outlier. There’s a lot of things that China has that are “most popular in the world” simply due to their size, that absolutely no one outside of china has ever heard of. When your one single country…

It’s not that it’s simply “mathematically true”, it’s that it’s a misleading statement. It is the most popular game in China, and ONLY in China. It has more players than any other game in the world because China has more people living there than the all of the US and Europe combined. Outside of China the playerbase is…
