Maddy lore: We have a rice cooker by a brand called “Cuckoo”. It has the last two letters covered up by a sticker that came from a fruit. We call it the “Rice Cucker”

@maddy 🤣

@maddy etymologically sound

Me and my partner are both very mature adults, mhm.

@maddy how do you like it? i’ve been looking at fancy rice cookers and cuckoo is one that i keep running into

@jiub It makes making ‘good’ rice trivial. We dump the ingredients in based on the stovetop instructions on the back of a bag of rice (although washing your rice is generally recommended), press the ‘cook’ button, and we have tasty hot rice ready in ~20 minutes. It automatically goes into ‘warm’ mode after cooking so forgetting about the rice or not hearing the beep doesn’t mean it’s wasted!

Love this thing, honestly. We’ve gotten a ton of use out of it.

@maddy Maturity is a matter of choosing when to be silly, rather than never being silly

@jiub I say ‘good’ ‘cause I know someone could get really pedantic about rice and say you can make it much better without these machines, but it’s really as good as any stovetop rice I’ve had.

@gwenthefops Words of wisdom

@maddy @jiub huh maybe a cuck cooker is on the list of things to get now

@maddy v nice! i kinda suck at making rice so even the $10 rice cookers make better rice than i usually do lol

i use my instant pot to make rice sometimes, but it doesn’t always turn out great especially if it’s not regular white rice. plus i’ll often be using the instant pot to cook something else

i miss having a rice cooker, but i kind of don’t have the space

@gwenthefops @maddy I always say that I value your thoughts and experience. This is why.

This is what I’m talking about

@maddy ooh it has a quick cuck setting

@maddy oh yeah the rice cucker.

@maddy Ahh yeah, looking at that interface, CSS is a fuck

@apophis Sadly no, just a high-pitched beep that plays for a couple of seconds.

@niko @maddy @jiub I'm gonna fuck your wife AND cook you to fluffy perfection

@maddy I know there's a resto in my place called "Macaroni Cuck"

@linkachus17 Whaaat? No way! Lmao

@maddy Yeah. This is Indonesian resto and everytime I saw this resto’s name, I always think of the cuck-thingy thing

@maddy You’ve heard of the cuck chair, now get ready for the cuck rice cooker

@maddy le cucker

@maddy I’m as mature as you, I think. I giggled a lot

@maddy CUCK4011 sounds like a fedi robotgirl’s serial number,,

@maddy or, like, a video game title. like imagine cyberpunk 2077 but it’s cuck 4011 instead

@maddy CUCK : ]

@maddy I use to work at a food equipment supplier. The rep for these rice cookers would visit and to which I would ask "Are you Cuckoo?" grinning each time.

@maddy Equally hilarious, was the response. Straight faced "yes yes, I am Cuckoo"

@maddy lmao i didnt notice gwen made the same joke

@maddy fuck yeah

@theromancescrooge This made me think of you 💜
