    If you just leave it there it’s likely to overcook. Take it out when it’s done and enjoy.

      Any overcooked item must have been perfectly cooked at one point assuming the item cooks evenly :P

    There is this restaurant on a volcano on Lanzarote, in the “Parque Nacional de Timanfaya”, where they cook with the heat from the magma below. I am sure you could cook a pizza with that, as well.

    There are places on the planet Mercury that, if you were to find a lava tube of sufficient depth, would be the perfect temperature for human habitation. Some of the craters on Mercury’s poles are never exposed to sunlight and actually have ice in them. Most of the planet is of course boiling hot when the Sun is overhead. But there should be some choice areas where you could skirt the balance of the two, and find lava tubes that, with proper sealing, would be quite comfortable for humans to occupy.

    Yeah. There is also likely a position in the earth where its possible to cook a human perfectly by getting them to bring a pizza there.

    A pizza oven is about 450 C, so I’ll figure it out based on this graph of the temperature in the Earth by depth.

    0 to 500 C = 80 px
    6.25 C per pixel
    450/6.25 = 72 px
    
    0 to 100 km = 54 px
    1.85 km per pixel
    
    Line y coordinate at 72 px x coordinate = 9 px
    9*1.85 = ~17 km
    

    The deepest hole we’ve ever actually drilled is the Kola superdeep borehole, which is a bit over 12 km deep. This is a fair bit short of our ideal pizza oven temperature, but it did see temperatures of 180 C, which is certainly enough to cook a pizza.

      The geothermal gradient is different at different parts of the earth. You can probably bake a pizza at much shallower depths at the mid ocean ridge, near a volcano, or even at an active orogeny.

        i doubt i would have time for cooking at an active orogeny.

      450 C is 842 F. A pizza oven doesn’t get anywhere near that temperature. That’s half-way to cremation.

      Pizza ovens are usually between 475 and 550 F (246-287C)

        650-700 is the target temperature range for an NY style pizza.

      In the area I live, this would mean you could be standing right next to the pizza cooking bore, and still be outside of the delivery range.

    Probably, but is that position also accessible to you to put the pizza there in the first place, and be able to get it back out? Because if it isn’t, all you’ve done is sacrifice a perfectly good pizza. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You can probably find such a place on or close to the surface of the earth if it’s close to an active volcano.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
