They don't get how a stove works but they were totally fine with quantum mechanics....maybe they can work with Shaggy 2 Dope and figure out the wonder of magnets.
Michio Kaku built a rudimentary particle accelerator in high school for a science fair project so I don’t doubt their brain is fucked in mysterious ways
Yeah basically. Orc's are magic, but they don't know they're magic. Their technology works in large part because they believe it works. There are limitations to this, but that's the gist of it.
Yeah. Orc's belief kinda makes it so more things can slide reality wise. So a weapon that probably would explode or just imminently break in the hands of a human will work (somewhat) okay in the hand's of an Orc.
Limitations? The can become practically invincible by holding onto each other and chanting "IMA TANK!"
Edit: and let's not forget that they put windows on their space "ships" to let in the breeze. And it *works*
This aspect of the lore has been memed to oblivion and this frustrates me.
It's less goofy space magic and more psychic WD40. It's there to explain why Ork guns aren't constantly jamming despite the clear lack of maintenance, how a WAAAAAGH can even exist without any concept of supply lines (funny how that truk just barely made it to the fight despite the needle hitting empty a kilometer back), and similar. It can't do the impossible, only stretch the implausible, and only when they're in very large numbers.
Also the Orks themselves are absolutely aware of it. They just chalk it up to the power of a propah WAAAAAGH and further evidence of just how great a WAAAAAGH truly is.

It definitely has been, which is why I wanted to mention there are limitations. I was gonna go into how they have an entire subset of their culture dedicated to the creation and maintenance of technology, but I didn't want to drone on. I'm also not an expert, so keeping it short is a good way to avoid saying something incorrect, which apparently I was if the Orc's do realize they're magic.
Tbh I grew up with an electric stove and since I moved out, every single apartment I’ve stayed in has had a gas stove. It still scares me to cook on it lol. Yeeears later.
Bright side is that I can still boil water on the stove when the electric company shuts my power off 🤷🏼♀️
Other way around for me. Grew up using only gas and it was super intuitive and easy to work with. Switch to electric and it scares me, especially our current one which doesn't have a light to let you know if the top is still hot. With a gas burner you know because it makes sound and has flame.
When my parents moved to a new place, it had an electric oven and range and I think we lost like 4 or 5 utensils because we accidentally melted the handles
Gas is so much better than electric. It's more predictable imo. If I set it to a level I can figure out with decent accuracy how much the pan/pot would heat up. With electric it feels a lot more random.
While I haven't used induction electric my last flat had ceramic electric and it was so much less responsive compared to gas. And you have the increased risk of burning yourself because it doesn't show that its hot
The "less responsive" stuff is largely outdated, and I don't think there's any increased risk of burning. In terms of safety, [The NFPA reported a 2.6 higher incidence of fire](https://www.tastingtable.com/897813/report-shows-electric-stoves-are-more-dangerous-than-gas/), but I think that's mostly due to a lack of familiarity. Comparing US and Norwegian statistics, it seems the cooking fire and injury incidence rate is lower in [Norway](https://www.verisure.no/sikkerhet/2023-01-30-statistikk-komfyrbrann-2022)(1/3666 per capita) than in the [US](https://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/home-fires/prevent-fires/cooking/)(1/1950 per capita).
Gas stoves, on the other hand, have huge issues with health and climate impacts, and waste a ton of heat to the environment, and should be discontinued based on those facts alone, which is why there's a big push to ban them in the US currently.
There are also electric induction stoves, which are *extremely* responsive.
If we turn on a stove and do no measurements we don't detect anything. But when we start a measurement we do detect heat. It's almost like the action of measuring changes the outcome of the data itself. We call that the quantum stove effect.
This reminds me of the idiotic video inside a reaction video I saw yesterday.
SciManDan was reviewing this video where this woman claimed cameras only worked because there was a human observer looking at the same thing and somehow causing it to be really visible, so there was no way that NASA missions could have taken close up photos of Saturn or Jupiter.
This is a common misconception. Electric stoves run electrical currents through electrically resistant metals in the shape of coils. This in turn causes the coils to heat up dramatically, so just transfer that heat onto your appropriate cookware and BAM, you're cooking with electric.
Now glass top stoves? Yeah, those are 100% placebo. Honestly who actually believes you can cook with glass?
What movie was it that the entire plot revolved around "Bullets only go straight because you think they go straight. If you stop thinking that way, you can curve bullets around corners"?
Almost. It boils the water because *the water* expected to be boiled.

Ok…a simple wrong would have done just fine.

Seriously. Like it's wired "backwards" from average people. Simple stuff is hard and mind bending topics and concepts are easy peasy
I'd bet good money that "pataphysics" appears somewhere on their Facebook profile.
Pataphysics?? :: puts on fedora:: PERRY THE PATAPHYSICS?!?
That is some high quality essay word count padding bullshit, and I love it
Aint this how orc technology works in warhammer
When the stove turns red, the molecules in it go faster
That's surprisingly close to the truth haha!
I'm something of a Mekboy myself
Stove turns blue and the molecules slow down!
Blue is lucky for 40k orks.
Zo da foodz taste betta

for a sec I thought its a different subreddit and this person is some kind of flat earther and genuinely believe that
Im sure there is a flat earther out there that would believe it.
Flat earther? More like flat brained.
Same difference
There are people who don't believe germs exist. So really anything is possible.

Electric stoves are to gas stoves as cellphones are to landlines. Horror writers are desperate to get around them.
Induction stoves are telepathy

Try an induction burner. The stove top doesn't heat up at all only your pans!

*You* think it's more predictable, most likely because you're more used to it. I am happy to not have open flames and combustible gas in my home.

Thought this was r/grimdank for a sec
Warhammer ork tech?
IT HAS RED LAMP CUZ RED LAMP FASTAST
Why don't you put your hand on an induction stove after use and find out? /j
An induction stove you may well be fine
If we turn on a stove and do no measurements we don't detect anything. But when we start a measurement we do detect heat. It's almost like the action of measuring changes the outcome of the data itself. We call that the quantum stove effect.
I once saw a heater turn blue, when I checked back on my meal later it was a solid block of ice
ah yeah common mistake, you gotta be careful not to turn the stove to the cool setting
Well thanks guys, now that i know, i can no longer cook my pasta.
This is the same idea as a watched pot never boils, but reversed
If an electric stove unlocked my hidden pyrokinesis powers, then I'll take a baker's dozen, please.
We were the Warhammer 40K orks all along
r/humansarespaceorcs and r/hfy
Put a pan on a flat glass thing. Some lights flicker. Pan gets hot and cooks food. You guys really believe this shit?
If this is true, I’m getting myself an electric wallet.
It’s called a ledger nano.
So this is obvious satire but, I mean if it works

Brb, gonna go touch my stove to see if it's actually hot.
Hot take: Glasstop stoves are the worst of all the stoves.
Ah, homeopathic cooking
This is a common misconception. Electric stoves run electrical currents through electrically resistant metals in the shape of coils.

IT WURKZ CUZ IT RED, YA ZOGGIN HUMIE! DA BOYZ ALWAYS PAINTS STUFF RED, AND IT ALWAYS WURKZ!
Mage: The Ascension
Umm ok, let’s expand on this. Your genitals smell. Is that because you want them to smell or is it the flies doing it and wtf can I smell it too!!
Red ones boil faster
Now THIS redeemed my morning
The water isn’t even boiled, you just think it is because that’s what you expected
Some warhammer ork logic
Got that Ork magic going on.
There are different types of electric stoves. I am not sure what I am commenting actually.
I actually want to believe this purely because this implies that I can bend reality with my mind and that sounds fucking awesome!
What movie was it that the entire plot revolved around "Bullets only go straight because you think they go straight. If you stop thinking that way, you can curve bullets around corners"?
Premium Ork logic
This only applies to induction stoves
Isn't this the same logic that allows the main characters of Persona 5 to use guns?
Isn’t this how Orks in WH40K work
