Also Europeans have access to household appliances. Why do Americans think Europeans don't have most amenities that Americans do? Just because the market is small for a few of them? Insane thinking.

    Some fridges can be hooked up to the waterline and have a little ice dispenser, also there are apparently independent ice cube machines (which someone proudly posted in the replies). Like the fridge thing is a fine convenience, the stand alone device is insane to me. It just uses up space and energy to fulfill the purpose of an ice tray.

        My experience is the exact opposite. Ice cube makers (just the thing in the freezer, no dispenser on the front) have been a standard feature in every (new build, suburban Texas) apartment I've lived in since leaving the nest.

              There are good parts.actually, even the time I lived (rented room) in a suburban house, there was no ice maker or dish washer. Huh.

                I think it's because Texas is just built around the same kind of ideology that produced this tweet.

                Look how good we got it here, an ice maker in every apartment!

                  Also you have space and gadgets and free public toilets and pretending you're not a cyberpunk dystopia whose overlords literally wank to 'neuromancer' instead of a thin vineer of society and trees without queer and/or brown people hanging in them that we have.
