      You’re so unbelievably wrong, and let me explain why in this comment.

      There is no physical way to efficiently and effectively cook a single spaghetti noodle, as no commercial cookware would accommodate such a noodle.

      Furthermore, removing the noodle and placing it in a plate without the gargantuan noodle separating into smaller noodles, due to weight and lateral shearing, would be unheard of due to the physics of the gravity of the world’s… physics.

      Here I have included a link to my sources to you can educate yourself, you silly silly SILLY goose

          Incredible, you have bested me at my own game. The link you provided is relevant and interesting, the information is concise and factual, and you used metric instead of imperial (the more intellectual measurement system)

          Thank you for freeing me from my role as professional Internet debater.

          I’m freeeee^eee^

        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 of 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.

          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?

          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.

    For the things that motivate me to do this, been thinking that what I should do is start a blog, grab the offending comment and rephrase it as something more generalized, and then debunk it in my own blog posts. Just do not have the energy to get tied up in comment threads that are pointless anymore.

    Before the Internet, your argument would just be wrong or uninformed and you wouldn’t know what the answer was supposed to be.

      My wife and I were watching a really old The Price is Right recently, and they didn’t know what one of the words of the prize name meant. I don’t remember what the word was now as it was specific to that artist, it was a type of lithograph. But they kind of shrugged their shoulders and moved on. Then like 30 minutes later in the show they were like oh hey, we called this professor at UCLA and asked what this meant and it’s a type of lithograph. I remember my wife and I were just like holy crap the days before the Internet…

      You just had to wait for the library to open, check the card catalog for relevant keywords, and hope they had a book on the topic!

    Funny because you can’t do the research to figure out why you are lazy and what would allow you to achieve your goals.
