The Lockhorns by Bunny Hoest and John Reiner for December 07, 2024

Inside each kernel of popcorn, there’s a pocket of oil. When the kernel is heated up enough, the oil inside boils and expands, thus causing the kernel’s shell to break open and expanding the endosperm with a loud “pop.” Thus, one can interpret popcorn as explosive, and everything Loretta cooks in the microwave does, indeed, explode. How everything else explodes ranges from obvious to a complete mystery. God only knows, right?

Maybe she could get a job in an armaments factory.

Statistically the rate of popcorn popping events in a microwave bag of popcorn starts low, increases and then tapers off. Your assignment is to calculate what it would take to have all the corn pop within a 2 second period. I’d like your papers turned in Monday at the beginning of class. AI answers allowed but must be attributed. Class dismissed.

One foot facing and Leroy facing some really explosive expletives from Loretta!!

I do popcorn for watching anime.

Even the microwave rejects her food.

Mustard yellow. I can’t believe there was a time when people were convinced that looked good. Same for avocado green.

Surprised the popcorn doesn’t explode

Really s##ks when someone burns a bag of it in the work microwave at lunchtime.
