Know thyself and set a timer. I don't allow myself to do stuff like that without setting an alarm.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Beep, beep, beep,

Beep, beep, beep,

What's that for, again?

Better turn it off

"Why does it smell burnt? I am sure I set a timer!"

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

MultiTimer for Android and iOS: Set as many labelled timers as you like.

Android (not sure about iOS) you can also label your native alarm app alarms.

Can recommend 👍👍

I’m gonna turn it off now, and get to it right away. Where does the burn smell come from?

[–] hayes_@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

20 minutes later: silences timer because I’m too focused on something else.

2 days later: … crap.

Don't you fucking call me out like that, dammit

I have graduated to even screwing up my timers. Now the timer doesn't get silenced until the thing it is timing gets accomplished. Unless I'm distracted and fail to use that rule, then it's back to square one of course.

Edit: whoops, two people already said basically this. Guess I'll leave it

"Hey Google, set a 20 min reminder*, 'drinks in the freezer'"

20 mins later Google will notify "Brinks the breezer" but hopefully that's enough to remind me.

I’ve forgotten about thin mints in the freezer for so long that I had purchased another pack the next Girl Scout cookie season and only found them when I put newly purchased package in the freezer.

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why I always set a 1 hour timer. Or I will definitely forget.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Sometimes I set a timer and when it chimes I've already forget what it was for lol

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

On most smartphones you can give titles to timers.

instinctively silences timer without addressing what the timer was for

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Why the fuck did I set a timer?!

Now try something in the oven.

YES, A TIMER IS NECESSARY!

Me: I'm gonna season and dry the wok for a few minutes while I do the dishes.

does dishes

walks out of room.

air quality alert from filter goes off saying bad air quality.

Shit the wok!

B and C. Nothing should be on Facebook.

[–] TDCN@feddit.dk 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've learned the hard way (multiple times) that if beverage goes into freezer a timer of one hour MUST be set on my phone or smart speaker, because I gaslighted myself into believing it's illegal to put drinks in the freezer and if someone finds out I'll be arrested.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My ex. Never me. I'd drink soda warm before id risk it bursting.

My ADHD absolutely can't handle that clean up.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you get lucky it supercools before freezing and the shock of the vessel breaching is enough to freeze the rest of it mid-explosion. The one time I've had a bottle burst (luckily the cap gave way first), that happened and I was left with a bottle with frozen liquid holding the cap a few cm above the bottle and minimal dripping.

[–] the_artic_one@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's even faster to put it in ice water and the worst that can happen if you forget about it is your drink gets warm again.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Add salt to the ice water so it melts colder and it will cool your drink faster.

Get a drink with more alcohol in it. It will survive longer

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Roughly 1 degree below 0°C per degree (percent) of alcohol is the rule of thumb I was taught

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So many exploded cans and bottles in my youth but also the magic when you got it and your coke was in slushie form and then you added booze.

Chefs kiss

I've been using the "kitchen timer" function on my microwave non-stop since I found it

Obviously it won't work for cold drinks, but for warm drinks, I got my wife a few of these:

She still forgets her drinks, but now when she finds them, they've usually maintained the desired temperature.

[–] legopika@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just stick it in a zip lock so if I forget about it there's no clean up

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The 2 liter bottle of coke I once froze exploded with so much force that I found the freezer door open when I investigated the loud bang at 3am. No way a ziploc would contain that force.

Top-tier sentence right there. Very well written, it just keeps getting better (or worse, for you)

One of the bathrooms in my apartment has an extractor that, for some reason, is controlled independently from the lights. I broke it within the first month because I kept forgetting to turn it off.

[–] Chef_Boyardee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I have timers/alarms for everything. At least one hundred.

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

hey, there's nothing wrong with having an accidental sorbeit

get a wife. you leave one drink to long in the freezer a few dozen times and they never let you live it down.
