How about a fresh (as in not dried) spaghetti noodle that's passed directly from the extrusion, through a trough of boiling water with a conveyor belt to move it along and support the weight, then direct to the plate?
Well that would be fantastic, if not for Article 128 in the Costituzione Della Repubblica Italiana; as this states no pasta may be cooked directly from extrusion, except in the circumstances of impending death, as laid out in Article 110. So you may certainly try such a procedure, but you risk becoming an international criminal.
I've looked at it from every angle, as I am certified the best master debater.
See the thing is just because there is a law or article or what ever about it, doesn’t mean it’s going to get followed or that - that action is physically undoable.
There are laws saying we can’t do stuff, but people break them anyway.
So the conveyor idea might work perfectly fine therefore proving you wrong about this whole debate.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER ~/s~
Break the... law? On... purpose??
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE OFFICERS COME QUICK
Places uno reverse card on table
This is actually how internet debates go. I should know, I'm an expert!
I don't even think you'd need a special pot. A fresh noodle into enough water you can provide gentle agitation without whacking the noodle excessively, slide it out the pot into a colander, and then again gently slide onto plate. If you want more even saucing, I'd go from colander back into a pot with some sauce on bottom, then pour more sauce over top, and out to plate to get a more even coating without having to pull the noodle through sauce. You could even hand form the noodle with a bit of work. Roll noodle dough into a sheet and make alternating cuts like this and then smooth out the bends.
To me, the real trouble with a long noodle is: then what? Would you slurp a 100 ft noodle in one go, stopping for breaths?
Circular breathing of course, no need to stop
Lol I did think of that, but I still thought most people's mouths would need a break, and the second that noodle stops moving and trips the gag reflex, all chaos could break loose! That's potentially a lot of night to have change course on you! 😧
I posted this further down the thread... but
Except hands free
Aww, you didn't have to delete that. I believe you're technically correct, since proper spaghetti is an extruded pasta.
I like all noodles, so I ignored the technicality.
How the hell did you read that, i literally wrote it, sent it and thought "uhmm yeah but i guess people don't care enough" and deleted 2 sec after i sent it XD
I'm not super in the know about how all this stuff works, but it's the result of how federation works.
You made your post on feddit, hit send, and then it flows out to every Lemmy host federated with feddit. So once you toss a post out there, it's now out there in (insert number of federated servers) different copies stored individually on those hosts.
Now you decide to delete. That can be prioritized or handled differently based on the version of Lemmy each host is running.
I got a reply notification saying you replied to one of my comments, but when I clicked the notification, it said you deleted it.
I am even less clear about how deletes are handled, but it's saved my butt before when I've accidentally deleted one of my own posts. There must be some type of buffer time between when a delete request is received and when it is actually purged.
If you hit the reply button on a deleted post, you will sometimes get to read the stored post! I can't see your deleted comment now, so that's what makes me think there's a built in delay, but I obviously could read it fine yesterday to reply to what you said.
You can do it on any deleted comment. I like finding deleted down voted comments and trying this "trick" to see what things people try to hide from the record.
I'm sure I've if the instance communities or maybe one of the privacy ones could give you much better details, but this is my for dummies like me version.
If you're unaware, people can also look who upvotes/downvotes. It's not available to most people in Lemmy itself, but there's an online tool that posts the info since it's technically public, just obscured by the UI.
So a lot of Lemmy falls under the old "once something is on the Internet, it always is" thing. Once you post or vote, it doesn't always just go poof when you ask the computer to make it go away.
We were going to do that, but it was deemed to be dark magick too powerful to unleash on this plane. We instead focus on room temperature superconductor research.
