Boil an Egg, Order a Pizza
the recipe starts by telling you to boil an egg you google how to boil an egg it tells you to boil a pot of water how much water? which pot? what temperature? give up and order a pizza. Water boils at one temperature. Figure enough water to cover the egg, because the water is cooking the egg. Not that simple. You lose water as it heats, and each location and stove top is just a little different. How much heat do you need? Does the pot matter? When is it "actually boiling"? The list goes on.
A screenshot-style Twitter exchange contrasts a simple recipe for boiling an egg with an increasingly complicated explanation of water, heat, evaporation, cookware, and altitude. The joke is about overthinking a basic task until cooking feels impossible, making it a reaction to excessive explanations, analysis paralysis, or abandoning a task for pizza.
