Sorry to not have any art ready to go on hand right now- so have this Flambae cake that I made for the ADHOC fanwork contest a while back!! (I had never done anything like this before that and of course had to create a fire hazard)

It’s an Afghani spiced tea cake with poppy seeds and walnuts (recipe from bahars kitchen on YouTube), an orange mascarpone creme and dark chocolate chili ganache.

Decorated with fondant, moulding chocolate, buttercream, edible gold leaf, golden sprinkles, shredded poppy seeds and most importantly; pop rocks (and the sprinklers)🔥

Nothing screams "relaxed Sunday brunch" quite like wearing a strangulating necktie while flipping meat patties. This is the peak of 1961 domestic engineering: why cook in the kitchen when you can run high-voltage cables across the tablecloth? The goal here was clearly to surround the family with as much chrome and exposed wiring as possible. Between the scorching hot electric skillet and the nuclear-reactor-style percolator, this meal is one clumsy elbow away from an insurance claim. Even the dog looks worried about the fire hazard.

Sourced from Better Homes & Gardens, 1961.

Yes, Morton made the cake himself. And he would like you to blow out the candle before it changes his hairstyle.

Officials are sounding the alarm about the grave dangers posed by the lithium-ion batteries found in electric vehicles.

Is it any surprise that ferry companies and underground car parks are banning EVs, insurance companies are refusing to insure them, and EV owners are struggling to sell them on the second-hand market?

How long until they are banned outright? 🤔

📺🔥 Some facts about The Sims 2 Console Development from chat of recent stream with Will Wright: Fire Hazard

In the stream chat there was a user with the nickname Hans_10K8, who claims to have worked on Sims 2 on home consoles, shared some facts about its development. And one of those facts is about "fire hazard" mechanic and why this is exist in game.

"Yes, memory of the consoles is what limited how "'many" of things you could have in the world. When we did the console games we disguised the memory issues as a "fire hazard" : mechanic and that if you went over, things might randomly catch on fire so that they would be eliminated from the memory ultimately. It's a feature, not a bug!"

This fact relates to the optimization of The Sims 2 for PlayStation 2 (PS2), where the console's memory limitations dictated how many objects could simultaneously be present in the game world. The developers solved this problem by introducing game mechanics: if a player placed too many objects, it was considered a "fire hazard" and objects could accidentally catch fire. This was a clever way to hide the technical limitations by presenting them as part of the gameplay rather than a flaw in the game. In this way, players saw it as a feature rather than a problem related to the console's performance.
