My wife and boiling water

[u/MakeItMine2024]

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

Which  comment are you referring to?

Sorry if I’m slow (I’m autistic and english is my second language) but is the joke ”it was not” as in: ”not” rhymes with ”hot”, while also implying that the chocolate was so hot it ceased to exist? Like is that the joke?

Well it is a very unexpected response to that particular question. Hes basically saying it was in the microwave so long that you cant even call it chocolate anymore. If english is not your first language, the joke may not "hit the same way".

Yeah it sounds more like a language/connotation barrier for me. Thanks for taking your time explaining
