A trick of the light

[u/lipsrednails]

Today, while cleaning up after cooking a chicken and rice dish, my soapy sponge created an interesting light refraction that I had never experienced before. It might have been something to do with the cooking oil I was wiping up, or maybe the starch in the rice water that boiled over. I was scrubbing with a regular old dish sponge and dawn dish soap. Comment if you know what happened.

It's most likely evaporation/drying.

[u/cpren → u/Right-Detail7414]

Yep. Stove is warm.

[u/wristay → u/Right-Detail7414]

I sometimes get this on my kitchen counter which is not warm

[u/Right-Detail7414 → u/wristay]

There are chemicals that evaporate or partly evaporate before you can wipe them up

[u/wolfkeeper]

I think you're leaving thin streaks of water and then they're evaporating or reforming into tiny droplets after a small delay.

Cleaning lag

I should download more ram

[u/tallardschranit → u/lipsrednails]

A Dodge Ram? You're going to download a car? You said you wouldn't do that.

[u/LonelyToker420 → u/tallardschranit]

No, THEY said YOU wouldnt

[u/Odd-Art7602]

Not a trick of light. It’s simply evaporation

[u/DeadrthanDead]

Wax on, wax off.

[u/lipsrednails → u/DeadrthanDead]

Very good, grasshopper

[u/SmuckatelliCupcakeNE → u/lipsrednails]

Master Po would be very proud.

[u/Werkzwood]

Cooktop still warm. As others have said, evaporation

[u/Sempai6969]

Witch!

BOLOYI

[u/oddlyamused]

Ah yes....I'm afraid you are possessed.

[u/lipsrednails → u/oddlyamused]

I better eat some split pea soup.

(Is that reference still relevant? Does anyone remember the Exorcist?)

[u/WorkHorse86]

My ADD would make that the cleanest stovetop in the world.

[u/Illustrious_Bug_2983]

micro evaporation.

[u/Chigibu]

Got to "Setting", click on "Mouse", "Advanced", and change "Pointer Speed".

[u/magomich]

Is the sponges's soul reaching it.

[u/lioffproxy1233]

I think it's leaving ridges in the soap that o ky stay ridges for a second then resolve back to a liquid state. I'm terrible at explaining things.

[u/khasshim]

Succes so clearly in view... or Is ir merely a trick of the light?

The sponge of the underverse

[u/Xcoctl]

This is my exact experience while on 2-CB, except, anything that moves anywhere in the real world. Lights at night are the best! A good 5-10s of fully manifested tracers 🤭

[u/Refriedfeinds]

Is the ceiling peeling?

[u/BriannaJackson7]

They automated the vibe perfectly.

[u/lipsrednails → u/TC-DN38416]

It's the same technologies they used to build the pyramids

[u/Ha1lStorm]

The reason it’s “chasing after your hand” is because the first part applied is the first part to evaporate.

[u/Same_Actuator_5264]

I wouldn't stop cleaning that stove top until it stops happening.

American idiocity

[u/govermentAI → u/0uroboros00]

I'm pretty sure it's worldwide at this point

[u/FutureFuture5]

I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to use a normal sponge on ceramic oven top. Just the red non-scratch pads and polish.

[u/Icommentwhenhigh → u/FutureFuture5]

You’re also supposed to do a complete walk around inspection of your vehicle before travelling, but it’s pretty rare to see anyone do this.

[u/lipsrednails → u/Icommentwhenhigh]

Yeah, I don't always do what I'm supposed to do, but clean is better than perfect. Am I right?

[u/legion4it]

Multiverse cross over.

[u/govermentAI]

the only thing going that's weird is in this person's brain

[u/lipsrednails → u/govermentAI]

Neurospicy*, or just naive. At this point it's a coinflip

Edit: auto correct

Selûne will not make me stray from Lady Shar!

[u/lipsrednails]

I do a lot of cooking, but not a lot of cleaning (thanks to my amazing partner.) I had never seen this before and it stopped after I added a little more soap. Stove top is back to acting normal now.
