Paine Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I am searching for a new wall oven. An. APPLIANCE. And now I encounter "SABBATH MODE". NO. SHIT... I had to look it up. A fucking WHIRLPOOL OVEN that helps you keep the Sky God happy and keep you straight with your rabbi. Has anyone ever fucking HEARD of this "SABBATH MODE" shit? THIS INFURIATES ME NO END. I am very tolerant of the Faithful, having been one for so much of my life.....but this kind of NONSENSICAL BULLSHIT just makes me sure that our civilization is DOOMED. Damned superstitious horseshit in the HOUSEWARES DEPARTMENT!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thought2Much Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Does it have sensors that make it shut down if you try to cook meat and cheese together? Or if you try to bake leavened bread during Passover? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paine Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Does it have sensors that make it shut down if you try to cook meat and cheese together? Or if you try to bake leavened bread during Passover? LOL! The WHIRLPOOL link won't work here, for some reason, but the upshot is that it will automatically adjust certain parts of the display for you without you having to push too many buttons. Its like a mode of "general" cooking I think, like when you only have to push ONE button to reheat pizza in a microwave. The microwave is pre-programmed for certain conditions. Like perhaps there is a "2 qt casserole" button that you push, instead of the temperature button, the timer button and all those MANY button pushes, because the SKY GOD KNOWS HOW MANY BUTTONS YOU PUSH ON THE SABBATH and you will CERTAINLY FRY IN THE SEVENTH RING OF HELL if you dare cook (complicated) food on HIS DAY!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senator Joe Lieberman has a driver on the Sabbath, you bet your ass. "hey, my Gentile friend, could you give a Jew a lift? I mean, my soul is too important to to burn in the flames of Hell....but yours? **Meh....**" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherJosh Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Didn't Bill Maher interview on Religulous some Jewish guy who modified electronics to work on the Sabbath? Like if you dialed a phone instead of using electricity it stopped the flow thereby indicating which number you dialed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentLoner Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Has anyone ever fucking HEARD of this "SABBATH MODE" shit? THIS INFURIATES ME NO END. I've never heard of a built in system like that, but at my university there was an incident because Student Resident Life found that Jewish students were keeping ovens on at low heat for the entire length of a Jewish holiday (I forget which). Apparently it didn't count as using electricity becuase they weren't turning it on or off. This was deemed a fire hazard and they had resident assistants checking all rooms and shutting off ovens. Some jewish students were actually pissed about it and whined a lot about their beliefs being disrespected. (Gee, if your religion means so much to you, make some damn sandwiches for a few days or have a non jewish person come over and turn on your damn stove!) So I would guess the "sabbath mode" involves a low heat stage that minimizes fire risk from staying on too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty entertaining to see some guy try to beat god at his own game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positivist Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 LOL!!!! I've never heard of Sabbath Mode, but my previous oven was always on Hell Mode/Mount Doom Mode: firing so hot that it actually melted the oven thermometer and un-making lots of food!

Thackerie Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've never heard of Sabbath Mode. However, I have heard some of my New York City friends who live in high-rise buildings owned by Orthodox Jews complain because the elevators are automatically set to stop and open at every single floor on the Jewish Sabbath — to enable the faithful to avoid the "work" of pushing a button or two. It's a real pain in the butt for non-observant folks, especially those who want to get off on the 36th floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A running microwave with its door open exposes the user to dangerous radiations. She's actively baking her hand while talking on the phone LOL.

Akheia Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 That's hilarious. Sabbath mode. What in the world will people think of next? I wonder if that's how my grandmother used to cook on Sundays though? She didn't have a particular need to not do work on Sundays, but she liked to have Sunday dinner ready right after church. So she'd put a roast or whatever into the oven and everyone would leave the house to go to church for hours. It drove me spare to think of her leaving the oven on like that all morning. How she managed not to burn her entire house down, I'll never know. Even with Sabbath Mode I wouldn't trust an oven left on without even loose supervision.
