      Damn every oven I’ve used turns itself off after 12 hours. Fucks up my BBQ when I forget to turn it back on.

        look up if your model of oven has a Shabbat mode that’ll disable auto-shutoff

            Dunno what that is, but legit answer: no, like sabbath. In Judaism, or at least certain branches, you’re not allowed to operate technology on Sunday. This can include not turning on your stove but (I’m assuming here) not putting food into it. I’ve heard of a similar cosmic loophole for laundry.

                God can’t see it if you set it the day before. But I’m just making a guess based on the name.

                So the thing with judiasm is that God is perfect, God made the rules, and the rules have loopholes (such as this one with the oven) therefore the loopholes are intended and exploiting them just shows how much attention you pay to the rules and how religious and observant you are.

                It is one of my favorite fun facts.
