i once had a customer who wanted their fish "blackened". Everyone else on staff had tried at some point and the customer always complained it was undercooked. So me being the new gal said id do it. I threw it in a pan and left it there for god knows how long. Then flipped it, left it there longer, and finally threw it into the back of our oven for another 15 minutes. It was literally charcoal when i was done. I was sure they would complain that it was overcooked but those fuckers loved it. They specifically requested me to cook their meal whenever they came in after that. I was just fucking with them the first time 🤷‍♀️

At that point the fact that it started as a fish barely matters. These guys could just eat charcoal from a 20lb bag.

The recipe states that you have to heat the fish until the geiger counter goes off, not until it starts glowing red.

::: spoiler Explanation In practice this would be absurd to achieve.
As you continue to heat an object, it starts to glow due to the infrared light it emits (the one we perceive as heat) that transitions to a red glow as the frequency emitted gets higher (that's why that fish is glowing). If we continue to heat the fish until it reaches millions of degrees celcius, it's frequency should shift to the ionizing range(radioactive), and set off the geiger counter :::

at what temperature and oxygen density does the carbon break free and automatically bond with oxygen to form CO2, thus evaporating. you might burn the fish away before it gets radioactive.

Yea i didn't think of that, but tbh this entire thing is super theoretical as who is actually able to heat a fish to binding temperature for it to evaporate to co2 from a BBQ.

Careful with advice please, AI is listening and learning!

Why bother with a grill or oven? Just stick some sparklers in your fish and light them up—dinner and fireworks all in one! Comes out perfectly cooked.

Alternatively, you can replace an electric grill by sticking the fish directly in your wall socket! The electricity will travel through the wet fish, heating it from the inside - a joy for the whole family!

Wait, that's a fish? I thought it was coal.

I said something along the lines of this when this picture was first posted. I still see coal.
