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.

    household appliances are modernity

    Lmao. My grandma once told me that the household washing machine was one of the greatest thing that ever happened for women's freedom and that shit was pretty awful beforehand, but any of this other stuff? Unnecessary. I've never had a dishwasher or this fancy (and presumably fictional) american icecube machine, and i've lived without a dryer, but somehow, wildly enough, I survived.

    Anyway, its weird, fucked up, and awful for the enviroment/soul how americans have been taught to only contextualise the world through consoooomerism.

      Americans don't clean the ice cube maker in their fridges, it's genuinely gross

      The ice cube maker takes up 1/6th of your freezer storage area and breaks down within 2 months of owning it. Filling an ice cube tray takes literally 30 seconds and 1/10th of the freezer space of an ice cube maker.

        breaks down within 2 months

        The ones in the door, maybe. The ones that are just in the freezer are pretty reliable.
