its nice for making stock cause i can just load it up and put it on slow cook for 6 hours and i dont have to sit around and worry about whether the gas goes out or if its too high or have it boil over or whatever but overall i regret buying it

Instant pots are very nice if you want to cook beans, make soup/stew, etc. quickly

You can always cook the same stuff longer though

at first you think “hey this is great making weed brownies used to smell up the whole block and i have a ton of weed in there and cant smell a thing”

then the timer finishes and the steam valve pops open starts spewing the most weed smelling weed steam in the world all over your kitchen. like a shower fart* but made of weed.

i used hot bot to search for "teens"

we use our instant pot a lot for things like pulled chicken/pork, soups, and other slow cooker things. pressure cooking is nice too but we don't use that part as much

anyways it sucks that a company can't just make a good product and just keep doing that. great system we've got.

no furniture and no art or anything on the walls. an entire apartment with a singular focus, the tv, and nothing else

presumably they're suggesting that's not indicative of a healthy enriched mind, but then again they posted on twitter, so who are they to throw stones?

they could also possibly just not want a lot of stuff, or they don't spend much time in the room because they don't watch tv often, or they just moved, or they move a lot because rents keep going up or...

defector has an article up about the current redditpocalyspe and the final paragraph nicely summarized a lot of what this thread has talked about over the last dozen pages

quote:

We are living through the end of the useful internet. The future is informed discussion behind locked doors, in Discords and private fora, with the public-facing web increasingly filled with detritus generated by LLMs, bearing only a stylistic resemblance to useful information. Finding unbiased and independent product reviews, expert tech support, and all manner of helpful advice will now resemble the process by which one now searches for illegal sports streams or pirated journal articles. The decades of real human conversation hosted at places like Reddit will prove useful training material for the mindless bots and deceptive marketers that replace it.

of course, by air fryer I mean “convection oven”

air fryers seem kinda neat, but most of the really compelling applications center around cooking meat, and i just don't buy meat very often anymore

my last major kitchen purchase was a pair of nice cast-iron pans that can nest together as a dutch oven, and they transformed how i cook loads of stuff

you can make a web forum that covers its own costs and you can even perhaps make a web forum that makes you a modest stream of income, but the problem is that these fucks want to investor storytime themselves a private jet and a dozen holiday villas and a never have to work again a day in your life and gently caress whatever I have to burn down along the way to get there, not just for web forums but for any potentially useful thing that somehow involves cloud servers and shartphones. they're not interested in a modest business that only makes a few million a year and all the oxygen gets sucked out of the room for people who are.

maybe eventually people will eventually figure out that the enshittificaton is the entire point instead of all piling into this awesome free thing that some techbro gently caress face gang is like totally doing out of the goodness of their heart or whatever.
