Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Technology Connections did a video on this, his findings and my experience tend to be quite the opposite of yours... With a gas burner, you're dumping so much of that energy into the space surrounding the kettle (hold your hand above the kettle.. all the heat you feel is being wasted by not warming your water), whereas an electric kettle keeps the heating element inside the heating chamber and only loses a small amount of heat warming up some escaping air.
When making noodles and such, I boil the water in the kettle, then pour it into the pot that's been sitting on the stove on "low". It's a million times faster than just boiling in the pot.
American btw.
This is one of those "it probably doesn't make enough of a difference to even bother looking into" but it would be interesting to take into account cost, time and environmental considerations in your case.
I would be surprised if the electric kettle would win out for most Americans in any of the 3...
The winner should be the fact that gas stoves are burning inside the house and cause a fair bit of pollution and worse your air quality.
