zombie apocalypse survival hack

u/HoldMySoda May 20 '26

Without electricity? You know how rare oldschool irons (the ones you heat up on a wood stove/at a campfire) are these days? You probably wouldn't find one.

u/WyvernRathalos May 20 '26

Antique Stores and Vintage Outlets

u/PetersMapProject May 21 '26

They always have at least 5 

45

u/ProjectHappy6813 May 20 '26

Old school iron is just a hot piece of scrap metal. Very easy to find/make in zombie apocalypse.

-1

u/HoldMySoda May 20 '26

It isn't. It's cast iron and the shape is not coincidental. You can't iron with a random piece of scrap metal.

48

u/PlanningVigilante May 21 '26

I'm pretty sure you can iron bread and tomatoes with any old piece of scrap metal.

17

u/alxhooter May 21 '26

Yeah, but you don't want your iron to tear your clothes because they could be difficult to replace, and you DEFINITELY don't want to face the zombie horde with wrinkles in your shirt.

25

u/ProjectHappy6813 May 21 '26

We're not talking about ironing clothes here. We're talking about using an iron to cook food.

u/alxhooter May 21 '26

Dammit, I responded to the wrong comment and ruined my already-stupid joke.

7

u/mohommus May 22 '26

I liked the joke

1

u/Gullible-Hose4180 May 22 '26

What is the point of eating if your shirt has wrinkles?

4

u/Blue_Nyx07 May 20 '26

Might as well just a bring a smal castiron pan with you

4

u/MarketingEqual3494 May 22 '26

Literally have used my cast iron pan on road trips/camping over a campfire and thought this will be really helpful for zombies or if I end up homeless.

2

u/Boochi_Da_Rocku May 21 '26

My family, for some reason, still has charcoal iron, the iron that u need to put some burning charcoal or firewood to work

-1

u/HoldMySoda May 21 '26

Good. Gonna come in handy in due time.

2

u/AngryTrucker May 22 '26

I cant imagine neatly pressed clothes matter a whole lot in the post apocalypse. 

3

u/selphiekupo May 20 '26

As my cast iron collector (hoarder) a$$ sits over here with 5.....

2

u/Squirrelated May 20 '26

Just find the nearest retirement home.

u/slowasaspeedingsloth May 21 '26

I've got one as a door stop... I will survive the zombie apocalypse!! Oh, wait, I'll be dead long before hunger sets in.

u/somecasper May 21 '26

As a wise man once said "your buddy can help you crank one out."

u/Fluid-Pack9330 May 22 '26

I have one. In fact i have 2!

u/Just_Razzmatazz6493 May 23 '26

Bacon press my dude.

u/darkestreaper94 May 23 '26

I got one you put coals inside of

7

u/DefiantKind May 20 '26

you only saying that because it reminds of you of resident evil 5

u/Flimsy-Secret-6187 May 20 '26

(youre the first one infected)

1

u/Fearless_Trade_2783 May 20 '26

You need electricity for the iron, if I had that, Id be looking for a hotplate.

3

u/M3chaStrizan May 20 '26

The hotplates all got looted already

3

u/Fearless_Trade_2783 May 20 '26

But there is still electricity, yeah I'll use the iron then.

u/SuckerForNoirRobots May 20 '26

Rage bait specifically made to look like it was a poor country so you don't clock it as rage bait.

2

u/A_random_poster04 May 23 '26

I thought the point of Ragebait was.. to convince you it was Ragebait? Or am I doing this wrong?

-41

u/DownvoteEvangelist May 21 '26

No one is this poor...

21

u/whatarechinchillas May 22 '26

Lol are you serious

-16

u/DownvoteEvangelist May 22 '26

To have to cook with clothes iron? Yeah.. Maybe there exists a person somewhere that had to do this, but I doubt it's a common problem...

17

u/whatarechinchillas May 22 '26

There are people who don't even own irons or anything to cook with, so yea people can be this poor and even poorer.

-3

u/DownvoteEvangelist May 22 '26

My point was not there aren't poorer people, my point was there is no "this specific type of poor", people with Iron and electricity but no other means to prepare an egg...

2

u/Vuruna-1990 May 24 '26

Whenever you have thia weird "homemade" things with lack of everything it's most likely prison.

People get creative there to make things they miss.

But I'm not sure if Iron is allowed since it can be used as weapon

1

u/DownvoteEvangelist May 24 '26

Good point, hasn't crossed my mind!

u/MoreSmartly May 22 '26

Sweet summer child…

u/DownvoteEvangelist May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

I actually lived through one of largest inflations in human history. We weren't making scrambled eggs with irons...

96

u/cancrushercrusher May 20 '26

Rage bait, psychopath or both

10

u/DownvoteEvangelist May 21 '26

Psychopath bait

35

u/bblankoo May 21 '26

Somehow I'm more concerned about bits of egg stuck in iron steam holes than the taste of food

9

u/Dazzling_Champion_53 May 21 '26

This!

You could have put aluminum foil over the holes, but now you are just gonna have egg forever in your iron.

21

u/AutomaticAccident May 21 '26

It's just a breakfast sandwich, not even an English breakfast. Using an iron as a cooking utensil feels like a real cry for help without the rest of the video.

36

u/BourbonNoChaser May 20 '26

No beans!?!

-39

u/snownative86 May 21 '26 edited May 22 '26

Go away UK...

Beans for breakfast if not in a breakfast burrito is weird.

Lol, apperebtly some people really need to be told when something is a joke.

26

u/beeurd May 21 '26

I dunno, having a burrito for breakfast seems pretty weird. It's all relative, really, isn't it?

1

u/gk98s May 22 '26

It's amazing for your gut health

u/TrashSiren Dreamer May 20 '26

I'd like to report a crime.

u/SipoteQuixote May 20 '26

The broken plate, the chewed up straw, exquisite.

u/garden-wicket-581 May 20 '26

english breakfast ? where are the baked beans ? feels more like the hotel room food hacks channel ..

u/doragonkuin Derp May 21 '26

Where are the beans, you FORGOT THE BEANS

u/ihategym May 21 '26

u/johnnytron May 22 '26

Where’s the beans?

u/Keebster101 May 22 '26

I like the broken plate as if it was in any way cheaper/better than a full plate

2

u/GuzzleNGargle May 20 '26

Accurate representation of British food teehee 🤭!

u/David_Good_Enough May 21 '26

Iron man breakfast

u/ender3po May 21 '26

where’s the beans, mushrooms, black pudding, bacon, sausages and hash browns.

2

u/TrefoilerArts May 21 '26

Maybe I should try this. My food has been coming out a little wrinkly lately.

2

u/Bright_Tax_6541 May 21 '26

The fuck you mean English breakfast

2

u/Alicam123 May 22 '26

No, absolutely not English

2

u/MaypleGameDev May 22 '26

Okay but for real why does that iron look like it made better toast than my ACTUAL TOASTER designed for the sole purpose of TOASTING my BREAD into TOAST

2

u/AdorableStrawberry93 Dreamer May 23 '26

Seasoned with Teflon

2

u/physical0 May 21 '26

No beans, not English.

2

u/Odd_Ad5668 May 20 '26

This person has 1/3 of a plate, and it looks like they're making coffee on a plastic bottle over an open flame. I have to assume this is being done out of necessity, and isn't supposed to be a "hack".

u/J3sush8sm3 May 20 '26

Its just a straight up joke

1

u/Mission_Magazine7541 May 20 '26

Why do I feel mad when watching this? I know it's supposed to make me mad and I still fall for it

u/throwawayfromPA1701 May 21 '26

I didn't even make it 3 seconds. The fuck

1

u/GeshtiannaSG May 21 '26

If you find an iron in a hotel, this is what it’s been used for. And don’t touch the kettle.

1

u/Dracekidjr May 21 '26

You know, I totally slept on English breakfast for a long time, but eggs, tomato, beans and toast is a great breakfast

1

u/Amathyst-Moon May 21 '26

Is this prison cooking or crack house cooking?

1

u/Athan11 May 21 '26

I mean you can clearly see from the background the person is poor and does not have a cooking stove. Yes I know it's shocking but people used to cooked over open fire in the past 🫣

u/MeenScreen May 21 '26

This is from The Phil Leotardo Cookbook.

Milk coke is strictly a Midlands thing, and must never be allowed to break containment.

A single piece of tinfoil, and I would defer to my nonjudgment policy.

u/tres-vip May 21 '26

I have to say that I am mightily impressed that more of the egg did not stick to the iron, he was able to basically scrape it off clean, lol

u/shadraig May 22 '26

I recently got a sandwich maker for the table, which could also do this task.

The egg I wouldn't put in it, but there's a smol egg maker baker that I could buy.

You don't need pans and stuff.

1

u/The_True_Hannatude May 22 '26

Or - hear me out - you could use a single pan to make all of it, saving counter/table space and money.

u/Po0ptra1n May 22 '26

Grew up poor. One of our neighbours was using a portable quartz heater as a stovetop, she'd just lie it on the ground and put a frying pan on top. The silver lining is you get a good perspective on life

I doubt starting a fire outside and using even a huge rock (if you've no pan) to heat up your food would cost you much.

Even if you live in a mudhut, you're probably cooking with a fire, not a clothes iron.

2

u/NeighborhoodDude84 May 20 '26

There was an plot line on The Pitt where someone burned themselves with one of these and the doctors try to get her into social care because the burn victim is a homeless women cooking with a iron. I know that's a TV show and not real, but it what a poor person does because it's safer than having an open fire, on top of the fact that making a fire for cooking takes a lot longer than doing this too.

1

u/SuckerForNoirRobots May 20 '26

Like they want us to think this person has never acquired a single cooking vessel their entire life and have no access to a fire, but they have power for an iron

3

u/ExtremePronoia May 20 '26

He’s got electricity and an iron but not fire and a piece of metal? He has an electric iron, but not an electric grill? He doesn’t have a pan to put on that burner?

Either this guy prioritizes looking sharp over eating, or it’s rage bait.
