If your kettle is boiling, it's too hot!

I sometimes boil and then let it sit for a minute.

Or if I'm feeling really hard I'll just pour it right in like idgaf

not for builders tea, it's designed with boiling water in mind.

Boiling water is largely fine for tea bags, boiling kettles on the other hand represent all kinds of hazards and should probably be done in a fume hood.

I think I missed a joke there didn't I....

Boiling a kettle requires turning that kettle into liquid first.

That's the joke.
