I am a bit late to the party. Yes, I have a meat thermometer. No, I do not use it for meat, poultry or other animal matter. I do not cook meat that often and when I do, I usually know how to properly cook it without using a thermometer from experience. It’s not that difficult unless you roast entire birds or anything.

I occasionally use it for measuring temperatures when brewing beer. I have a digital thermometer with a wide range (-40C to +200C-ish) and use it to check the temperature of the wort when pitching the yeast.

As you specifically mention Minecraft: check out Valheim. In default settings you can hardly call it a pleasant stroll, but exploring the biomes is beautiful with especially stunning lighting.

Many moons ago we had a budgie. In his cage he had a little swing on a hook and one of his games was unhooking the swing and rehooking it. One day he had unhooked his swing and then let go of the ceiling of his cage. With a loud clang both he and the swing fell down. He looked very embarrassed and very caught in the act.
