There is nothing I love more than someone on the internet posting something deliberately to get people riled up. It’s like setting a trap and watching people walk right into it with their eyes wide open, you know? The internet was made for posts just like the one we’re gathered here to witness today. They make it a better place, you know? Now, let’s all sit back and learn all about the merits of indoor grilling*.
*Do not try this at home. Promise me you will not try this at home, guys.
Well, if we really want to get technical with it, it all started with the advent of a certain kind of surrealist posting on the internet – but that’s a different story. Anyway, meet my new favorite X (formerly Twitter) post: the indoor BBQ, courtesy of @boss_on_here.
The replies were nothing short of gold.
Great way to multitask and test the carbon monoxide detectors at the same time.
It’s posts like this that make the internet worth being on, you know? Maybe social media wasn’t a mistake after all. And maybe the Boss’ carbon monoxide detector needed the workout! One never knows. The Boss himself added:
we turned them off til the maintenance guy gets here. Wouldn’t stop chirping
I have no notes.
The post gave others some truly novel ideas!
We may get storms tonight so i was thinking of doing our fireworks in the living room. Didn't even think about bringing the grill in too. Great idea
Don’t you hate it when your own personal fireworks display is quite literally dampened by the rain? Good think Josh here saw the Boss’ post, otherwise he would have had to cancel the show! Whew.
Others had some helpful medical tips.
If you get sleepy, just take a nice lay down on the floor.
Sean has a good idea here, but if I may riff on this one: if the Boss is already inside, why not hit the couch? No reason to be uncomfortable while slowly inhaling all that carbon monoxide.
I’m picturing them rubbing their hands together evilly, like a cartoon villain. But a gif from Shark Tank works, too. Oh, what about a gif of Scrooge McDuck diving into a pile of money? Now we’re cookin’.
Aw, everyone is really rooting for the Boss!
Make sure to keep the windows and doors closed for at least 24 hrs post grilling.
Isn’t it so nice the way X users all rolled up to give the Boss some excellent tips on indoor grilling? I think it’s so nice when a community comes together to help those in need. Bless their hearts.
This is such a great way to make new friends.
great recipe to get to know you’re local fire department
I bet firefighters are really dying to make new friends on July 4th. They’re probably all so bored hanging out in their fire stations, all stuck indoors while everyone practices safe firework operation and BBQ-ing skills.
Thank goodness for this tip.
NO DONT DO THIS ITS A VERY BAD IDEA
The wheels and legs of the BBQ will scratch your wood floors, anytime you BBQ inside make sure it’s on carpet or put some cloth down under the grill.
Without it, I would have totally tried this at home and scratched up my landlord’s floors. Ugh. What a gem Fikisakoj is for looking out for the innocent floors in this experiment!
Others had some great cooking advice.
Make sure you give it plenty of time to cook. Undercooked chicken can cause salmonella.
So true, you do NOT want to be eating undercooked chicken. Shoutout to John here for making sure the Boss knows how to properly get that chicken roasted up.
Honestly, respect to those looking out for the decor.
Hey man i think the smoke might damage your Declaration of Independence on the wall just keep an eye out
First the floors, now the Declaration of Independence! This really goes to show how thoughtful X users are. They’ll always be there to provide a helpful warning and make sure you don’t pull a Nicholas Cage. (Get it? Because National Treasure? You got it.)
Do you love the smell of BBQ and aren’t hung up on a little smoke damage or the possibility of a fire destroying your home? Then indoor grilling might be for you!
Hm, never considered this one.
for extra heat retention, put a heavy blanket over the BBQ for that loooong slow cook.
For extra luck, the Boss should use an extra flammable blanket. Maybe one made of 100% polyester? Oh yeah. That’ll really help lock in the flavor and add a lil somethin’ somethin’ to the dish.
Honestly, this is SO Sims-coded.
The Sims I don’t like suddenly deciding to have a cookout in the doorless shack they inexplicably built in their own backyard https://t.co/3P2wUl93UG
This is one of those ideas that people post when they’ve found a new, creative way to kill their Sims in The Sims game. I wish I could say my Sims wouldn’t be this dumb, but they absolutely would. No Sim is immune from pure stupidity from time to time.
What? I’ve been playing a lot of that game recently, so these jokes are absolute gold to me. I think I might try this out later and see how long it takes for my Sims to start a fire.
Who am I to judge a Floridian for what they have to resort to when the weather turns on them? My mom used to grill outside when it was below zero. You never know what people are going through!
Unbelievably, some people have genuinely tried this before.
Once my dad brought the grill in to start it and my mom thought there was a gas leak and he let her crawl around inside and outside the house trying to find it and only told her when she was about to call the gas company https://t.co/aO6sNAoukT
I mean, you hope that people are smart enough to a) know this is a joke, and b) not try it, but it turns out some people genuinely have done something similar to this. I am so scared for humanity sometimes.
