It's in everything now. It became like a museum exhibit to me seeing the most wild things. Wifi toaster WHYY? Like I knew about smart fridges but I was seeing like overly technical smart phone connectable kettles and like some griddle made for just bacon?? Whyyy

I'm just gonna start buying every single "dumb" appliance I see at goodwill thrifting from now on. I'll make a little collection and gift some to friends who want out of the techno hellscape too. I keep thinking about the absurd amount of lights and screens on things that have no reason to have one and how fast they'll likely break. All that shit will be in landfill in like 10 years max

      yeah! my current setup with my stove is so bad it's a constant headache for a wok. I've been debating getting a propane outdoor one since i do think having that flame contributes a bit the the wok hei flavor for many foods but an electric one will get more use out of me considering i don't really want to have to go outside, setup a table and deal with the weather while making dinner a couple nights a week lol. Still might get one of those though for summer, I could use it for quite a few things i've been stewing on.

        Nice!

        I love the induction one because it's ridiculously fast and you can set a temp for doing things like deep frying.
