This is actually a good tip when it’s not an aneurysm. If you put a wooden spoon over something that you’re boiling, it will prevent it from boiling over.
How?
It doesn’t. It just makes the spoon hot and wet.
Put a little oil in your water instead.

Sorry to burst your bubble:
Claude: "This gibberish text is meant to be humorous by parodying actual cooking tips. It plays on the common kitchen tip of placing a wooden spoon across a pot to prevent it from boiling over, but twists it into an absurd and incomprehensible statement.
The humor comes from the contrast between presenting this as useful advice for new independent adults and the actual nonsensical content. It’s a playful way of poking fun at the challenges of learning to cook and live independently, as well as the sometimes confusing nature of cooking tips and tricks."
I just uploaded the picture and asked to explain it.
Speaking of AI - you know the faux-text that image generators make? This passage ends up looking like that the more I try to make sense of it.
The brain is wild.
TIL
This is beautifully painful to read…
