FMyLife - Get the guts to spill the beans
Today, I was baking cookies and opened the oven door to check on them. Apparently, wearing a gold necklace means the wave of heat will burn your very fair skin. I now have a bright red ring of stars around my neck. FML
First I thought "YDI" but then again I'd burn myself for some cookies So, FYL. :P
Should have stuck with your first thought. 1) There's no reason for you to stick your face that close to the oven while opening it. and 2) Gold doesn't absorb heat at a fast enough rate where one burst of hot air from the oven is going to make it burn your skin no matter how fair. If it was bad enough to get you from the air alone, your whole face would have been burnt. Basically I'm saying that this is most likely false and YDI even if it is by some miracle true.
Sorry to burst your bubble but this happened to me too. Just today in Foods class.. my "white" gold necklace burned my skin about 20 sec. after opening the oven. Buuut anyway. I know how much that hurts.. hahahah i have red marks all along my neck and chest too hahaah.
LMAO; Mee Tooo; 'cept it was My nose ring; Hurt Like Hell! =l so i turnd n shoved My nose in the Jello; RIGHT as My Mum walks In hoe now Calles My Jello Face XD Its Cute Tho
What if it was fake gold XD ever think about that???
You aren't supposed to open the oven when you are baking something anyway. That is what an oven light is for..... when you open the oven door you let out all the heat which can sometimes "shock" what you are baking and it can screw it up.
What about when you need to stick toothpicks inside cupcakes and shit to make sure the insides are cooked :I
Yep. Gold is one of the best heat conductors there is. It gets hot very fast.
West coast redneck. The physics of this story is somewhat dubious if you are using a normal oven. Do not bake cookies in an iron smelter!
That's what I was thinking. If anything I would think the necklace would have shielded her from the thermal radiation, creating an inverted star pattern.
Make me cookies and I will give ya a pearl neckless :)
I believe she has a neck. It's just burnt. ;)
cookies! nyom nyom nyom
ohhhmm noooommm noooooommmm
Beautiful.. that sounds hott :]
LOL
sux bad. hehe at least u will have a good story to tell people when they ask about it.
Its cheaper than a tattoo!
that actually may look cool. you should not complain.
She wore a pearl necklace!
copycat
actually, it sounds pretty cool
Yay for making cookies! Sucks about the burn though :(
Um, who wears gold nowadays? Other than shady-dealing guidos?
Really?
are you serious?? Every married woman I know wears gold on her ring finger (whether it's yellow or white gold). I also have a gold-plated necklace with a solid gold nugget as a pendant. Gold is pretty common.
Red stars on a white neck? You need to be in a Toby Keith video.
Uhm, normal ovens don't blast people with air hot enough to burn flesh. If this is real, which I doubt, you should learn how to use an oven because you're apparently doing something horribly wrong.
This. There is seriously NO WAY it could hat up the gold fast enough that it would burn her.
My oven blasts hot steam out when I cook things, which is hot enough to give minor burns, but nothing worse than what a light sunburn would be. For the steam to even get your neck you need to be leaning close. It disperses pretty quickly once you open the oven. It's only happened to me once, back when I was first learning to cook as a kid. I've seen it happen to a few people, though. Even if you did get burnt though, it wouldn't be from the necklace, or in the shape of it. Metal takes a while to heat up, and the steam would be gone too fast.
What most people don't know is that gold happens to be an excellent conductor of heat. I've heard of this happening on more than one occasion, so this FML isn't fake at all. My first reaction to this was YDI for wearing gold near a stove, but since most people aren't aware of the above fact, FYL.
If there was enough heat to make the gold hot enough to burn, then it was enough to burn the person on its own, even with no gold.
Maybe it's not gold.
What the hell is this??? A woman that can't cook?! CAN YOU AT LEAST MAKE A GOOD SAMMICH??
youre a shining starrrr no matter who you are.... shine bright to see... what you could truly be...... shining star for you to see what your life could truly be now your husband can kiss the starlight in your own bedroom.. but yeah owies...
But that sounds so cool......
xxxNataliexxx, she's automatically a fatty because she baked some damn cookies? you should probably stop breathing.. nobody likes assholes.
Whiner. Titty baby.
When you bend over to look in the oven, wouldn't the necklace dangle away from your chest?
by wearing gold around the house you automatically void any rights to bitch or whine about anything.
some people will wear the same necklace every day regardless what it's made of. Most women I know own a gold necklace of some description.
Some of us are allergic to everything but gold. I wear gold pretty much every day - nothing extravagant, only a chain and pendant usually. That being said, if you're getting burned on your neck from baking cookies, you're doing it wrong.
And this is why you're supposed to open the door about half way first to let out the burst of hot air before sticking your face close to it. That's really the only way you could have burned yourself unless you stuck your head in the oven to check the cookies, in which case you're dumb.
Were the cookies good?
Lilabear- every married woman I now wear platinum on their ring finger. oh. wait. o probably know rich married women.
Holy, shit. I don't see how anyone can call fake on this... and I hate to say that I did the exact same thing about two weeks back, but I was making bread, and my necklace was silver... But still! I thought I was the only person to ever have done this. Definitely FYL. That sucked hardcore.
Ouch T-T But thank you for sharing this. I have a feeling that you just saved a bunch of people who enjoy baking and wears golden accessories!
Make a note, gold conducts heat very very well. Now you know...and knowing means all you require are blue and red lasers...
Ok, people need to think. The heat didn't burn her; the NECKLACE'S heat did. Since most if not all metal is highly conductive of heat, then therefore the 450 degree (just for an example) could heat the necklace to 100+ degrees rather quickly. And plus someone with "fair" skin, they burn all the easier. So the people who said "YDI" are either trolls, or morons with less than a 9th grade education. Thank You.
Having fair skin has nothing to do with burning from heat more easily. You are confusing that with a sun burn. She mentioned her fair skin because the red burn will stand out more. You are obviously a moron "with less than a 9th grade education".
Look on the bright side, now you have a permanent necklace! c:
Oh my, that's happened to me before. ):
That's funky.
that's not a XML I would find that coool
TYPOO~~> FML*
I hope Sam enjoys it. :)
YDI of not knowing u never wear any type of metal / gold jewlery when cooking if it's on top or in the oven... I mean seriously u learn these things in school!! and if ur school dones'nt teach !! u FYL!!!
Gold is a metal, you know.
Step one- preheat oven to 1350 degrees. Step two- bake for 30 seconds or until golden brown.
I have a solution!!!! put makeup over ur burn... and wear the necklace in case the makeup wears off... problem solved :P
This is why you should have just gone to the dark side. They would have GIVEN you cookies and you wouldn't have had to make them yourself! It must be a message from them.
I could see how this might happen if the necklace dangled down so that it was closer to the heating element than the rest of you (and thus burned you when you moved back and it touched your skin), but that only makes me question how long you stayed there staring at the cookies. Were you having some sort of baked-goods induced reverie? Eyes wide, vacantly staring at bubbling chocolate chips, mesmerised by the slow breathing of the cookie, puffing up and down .. up .. and down .... warm heat bathing your face, your mind intoxicated by some bizarre cookiephoria? I certainly hope so.
I think that would look very pretty...
You'd think a woman would know better around a stove .
I guess you work in some magic kitchen where the laws of physics cease to exist. Heat transfer does not occur that quickly, even in something as small as your necklace. It probably got warm, but in order for it to burn you, you would have had to have the door open for quite some time and have your head in the oven.
can i have a cookie?
Also...it might be worth taking it off when drying your hair...if it burnt you just opening the oven, it'll burn from the hot air on the hairdryer...i found this out the hard way! OUCH! FML lol!
Some people pay for that kind of skin modification
it isn't physically possible for that to happen so quickly. unless there was conductive heat transfer which would basically require your face to be inside the oven. I wish people who embellished stories would be educated about the physics of what they claim happened...
sorry to burst your bubble, but it's true!
Good use of some big words, but Fail at their application to logic.
:D At least you'll have an awesome looking tattoo on your neck now. Without all the pain of needles stabbing your skin rapidly :P
Yea Im with DresdenB17. The physics of this are not possible, if there was enough heat transfer to make the metal that hot your neck would have certainly been close enough to burn without touching the necklace. This is simply physics and thermodynamics unless of course you have found a necklace that generates energy without any fuel in which case congrats because you are going to be the worlds first trillionare. Bullshit.
I like how the idiots who obviously don't know enough to know this can be true is stating with such conviction that this is a fake entry. Please don't diss if you don't know.
While I agree with what you're trying to say, don't go calling people idiots if you can't even handle subject-verb agreement.
#78, I like you. That tattoo idea is a very "glass is half full" thought.
While for most people this could be a very bad thing I would actually kind of think a burn mark of starts on my neck would be cool. But since the OP is obviously not that type of person, I suppose FYL.
