Everything Everywhere All at Once really said that parents would love to be able to blame all the things they don’t understand about their children on some sort of tangible enemy that they could fight and defeat but that enemy doesn’t exist and all they’re fighting are their children’s different forms of self-expression which causes them to hurt their children in the process and their children to lash out and hurt them. And despite all that, despite how much it hurts both parties, both still love each other and want to be understood by each other.
That for a parent to be there for their child, they have to be willing to understand them and not fight them.
Actually, it’s worse than just what this guy thinks: A lot of the components necessary to make touchscreens work are super heat-sensitive; if your touchscreen phone gets to hot it turns of everything it can to try and cool off because, if those components get too hot, no more touchscreen.
That toaster’s got a lifetime of two, maybe three, years of regular use max before it burns its own interface out and all you have is a pile of electronics and plastics that used to be a toaster; for reference, toasters from the fifties and sixties still work.
Furthermore, bread is bread: The maillard reaction which give toast it’s toastness is a one-variable function of tempature (technically, it’s a two function variable of tempature and time, but tempature is much more important than time). You don’t get differnt maillard ractions from an english muffin compared to texas toast. It’s the same chemical reaction opperating on fundementally the same stuff.
So, not only is this 350$ toast built to fail, but it’s apparent primary feature (the ability to select what type of bread you’re toasting) is a complete and utter non-feature shame. It’s a toaster.
It’s a shit toaster.
Praying to gxd to bestow rich people with discernment so industry stops mining rare earth metals just bc spoiled dumbasses love throwing money away on literal garbage for the sake of status.
