Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

A concerning moment that morons everywhere who were too stupid to use google can now just ask a question to ChatGPT and have it google things for them
Ack. You made me remember some incredibly dumb tv ads from the 1970s I saw as a kid. There would be a untrustworthy pitchman saying something like "Chopping up vegetables takes time and leads to mess... Here's the Veg-O-Matic Quik Chopper available now at the low, low price of $9.99..." I was just a dumb kid but even I could see it was a scam. Why spend ~$59 (in today's dollars) on what was probably worse than a knife that might even quickly break? That's crazy. Just use a knife.
Honestly a lot of those kitchen tools/gimmicks are great for people with low mobility or dexterity due to disability or illness.
Specific to a lot of those devices, they're often used by people with weakness or disability. In effect idiots being separated from their money subsidizes assistive devices.
Why do you hate innovation? We must be eternally making new mundane gizmos for the money gods
Google things incorrectly with no way of knowing whether it's wrong or right.
And sometimes throws in some bullshit "satirical" circlejerk posts from Reddit and weights the information the same as factual sources. "Sure, you can totally build a bomb out of powdered milk!"
