Hot butter melts and puddles so you don’t end up with the nice pad of spreadable butter on your bagel or toast …..

No, it doesn't!

If the butter is hot, it is melted, so a knife can immediately go through it.

If the knife is hot but the butter isn't, then the knife still needs to melt the butter as it goes through, so it's slightly slower.

Someone posted the correct shower thought of this 4 years ago:

More so curious about them being able to pull up a link and remember that.

I try to find things I saw a few weeks or months ago, and I'm shit at it.

Very impressive.

This person is just better than us, and in more ways than just reddit navigation and memory. Even the name checks out.

Wow, that's an interesting twist on the classic saying! It almost makes me want to try it out for myself. Who knows, maybe I'll find a new culinary delight in the process!

I guess if the butter was carved into the Image of a naked woman that may work. Otherwise you’d try to cut through a liquid

That's it. Shut down this subreddit. This is a perfect example of every post made here. We don't need more.

Yeah, I'm sure a knife would easily go through a 1000°C stick of butter.

Thermodynamics, either way you end up with a hot knife through butter. Entropy is a bitch.
