The toaster. Hear me out.

Find the setting that gave you perfect toast last time. Guaranteed that you'll never have perfect toast again on that setting.

False hope and burned bread.

I finally have in and bought a Braun and can honestly say it is consistent and a great toaster. But it shouldn't cost $120+ to get consistent toast.

    Nuclear Warfare. It just is a thing meant for nothing but killing, and it is killing innocent people and young children... It just makes me sick. Wish we could just have peace.

    Agreed. Nuclear power I can kind of get on board with, but nothing good had come from nuclear weapons.

    Microwave ovens - this led to generations willing to sacrifice quality for instant gratification.

    Remote controls - who needs to be patient when you can just quickly change anything in your life to something else with the click of a button?

    In which old fusty men sit in comfortable offices and make decisions that kill millions.
    War, in other words.
    Why not just have a soccer game?

    They did. And then they invented football and rugby. I will never understand war or sports.
