If you just leave it there it's likely to overcook. Take it out when it's done and enjoy.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Any overcooked item must have been perfectly cooked at one point assuming the item cooks evenly :P
Baking Bread with Lava in Iceland (actually with hot springs heated by lava)
Bread sous vide basically
I need
There is this restaurant on a volcano on Lanzarote, in the "Parque Nacional de Timanfaya", where they cook with the heat from the magma below. I am sure you could cook a pizza with that, as well.
been there once - saw a delivery of some big canisters of gas 🤔
That's just for gas lightning (the customers into thinking they cook with magma heat)
Yeah, I had the chicken.
Unfortunatelly, the rest of the kitched was not very good. Just go to Villa Toledo in Costa Teguise.
There are places on the planet Mercury that, if you were to find a lava tube of sufficient depth, would be the perfect temperature for human habitation. Some of the craters on Mercury's poles are never exposed to sunlight and actually have ice in them. Most of the planet is of course boiling hot when the Sun is overhead. But there should be some choice areas where you could skirt the balance of the two, and find lava tubes that, with proper sealing, would be quite comfortable for humans to occupy.
I hope this is true any source I could read more?
Between the fire and the ice, that is where you may find home.
It's called a pizza oven!
Yeah. There is also likely a position in the earth where its possible to cook a human perfectly by getting them to bring a pizza there.
A pizza oven is about 450 C, so I'll figure it out based on this graph of the temperature in the Earth by depth.
0 to 500 C = 80 px
6.25 C per pixel
450/6.25 = 72 px
0 to 100 km = 54 px
1.85 km per pixel
Line y coordinate at 72 px x coordinate = 9 px
9*1.85 = ~17 km
The deepest hole we've ever actually drilled is the Kola superdeep borehole, which is a bit over 12 km deep. This is a fair bit short of our ideal pizza oven temperature, but it did see temperatures of 180 C, which is certainly enough to cook a pizza.
The geothermal gradient is different at different parts of the earth. You can probably bake a pizza at much shallower depths at the mid ocean ridge, near a volcano, or even at an active orogeny.
i doubt i would have time for cooking at an active orogeny.
In the area I live, this would mean you could be standing right next to the pizza cooking bore, and still be outside of the delivery range.
Keep digging. You can't rush a good pizza.
Probably, but is that position also accessible to you to put the pizza there in the first place, and be able to get it back out? Because if it isn't, all you've done is sacrifice a perfectly good pizza. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Doesn't the Earth deserve the occasional pizzafice?
"Finally! A pizza! I'm SO sick of virgins!"
Can't argue with that..
This would be a good question for What If (xkcd).
There was also a time when most of the universe was at the perfect temperature and density to cook pizza,I guess.
there are some spots on earth's surface where this is true as well.
Like inside my oven.
Whoa
This is the place where the hidden ancient civilization of P'zz'r lives, a mystical forgotten place deep in the earth
I'd rather be there, then the lost city of Atlanta.
You can probably find such a place on or close to the surface of the earth if it's close to an active volcano.
That is under my foot
Luckily, we can mathematically prove this with the Intermediate Value Theorem!
Lets not, and say that we did.
There must be infinitely many such positions if there is one
They're called ovens.
Or my car...
Someone wants to summon Durin's Bane.
“It’s-a me, Durino!”
Only if temperature distribution is a continuous function.
I think the process of transporting it there and back fucks with the temperature because the it increases and later decreases so slowly that it's overcooked just by bringing it there and back again.
People need to think about the crazy potential of geothermal energy in general. Thanks for bringing that up 🌋 . But the problem here: How do we get the Pizza down there 🍕. Folding the Pizza through a Borehole 🗼? How stable is the temperature at 100°C spots?
my epic plan
Igneous extruded, is a type of pizza crust you'd get at a hipster pizza joint
What toppings? Are we talking fresh Moz? White sauce? This is very important.
