The recipe.food website Serious Eats has a recipe for boiled water posted. It was originally just a test for their recipe-posting function, but then commenters came in and started poking fun at the usual run of comments on recipe sites. Like the comments that mention how the commenter replaced all the ingredients in the recipe and rating it badly because it then didn't turn out good.

Also, there's a link to a parody that is an article about and recipe for boiling water in the style of Cook's Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen, Cook's Country, etc.).

Have just configured my Social Fixer extension on Chrome (i.e., my Facebook browser) to filter out posts with a list of political keywords and put them in a separate tab.

Mostly brought on by 2334324948502345749 posts urging me to go vote, which are not necessary as I already voted. Well, not that many, but after I hit "More" a few times, my regular news feed tab has 66 posts in it while the Political tab has 40. (And ChefVille has 27, another reason I use Social Fixer--to filter out game posts.)

(And it occurs to me that what may be really needed is not a push on election day to tell people to vote, but a push a few weeks previously to get people to register to vote.)
