To save you doing the conversion, that's 36.2kg.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What is that? Like 100 Budweiser's?

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

Works out to about .56 Taylor Swifts.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, now could you convert that to American Standard lbs? /s

[–] guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip 36 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That’s about the weight of one golden retriever bitch (literal definition of bitch). Or 4, 20 lb bags of 9mm ammo

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah! Finally a metric I can understand!

I hope it doesn't require a subscription or internet access

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 45 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The old version didn't and some retailers still sell that.
We have found customers prefer the experience with the app! It is just the the experience without the app, but more modern. iOS only for now, but an Android version is expected soon!

I can't decide if I want to upvote for causing the visceral reaction to this comment, or down vote for the same.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ve been experiencing this dilemma a lot lately and I think we need a word for it.

too bad. Mandatory Internet connection to enable the ai enhancement features, and as a bonus uses built in Infrared sensors to upload your walking habits straight to Palantir. Updates are 2gb each because what the hell are patches or deltas. Uses 24w on idle for some reason. Includes agentic ai!

The app for this thing sucks tho

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It will be unsupported in 6 months too.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn, they're gonna brick my block just like that?

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 7 points 2 months ago

Don’t brick my brick bro

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You just know it would have a subscription and always online requirement

If at any point, one is not met, it just phases out of existence

80 pound only? At that size? What, is it filled with sand?

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 30 points 2 months ago

Probably cheaper than solid steel, enshittification strikes again

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Deceptive marketing. The 80 lb model is the budget model, but the picture shows the much fancier 450 lb model.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, they switched production methods in the 90s to save on manufacturing costs.

Back in the 70s they were made from solid steel

I love how the typical contents of a kitchen around the world are a real reflection on that culture.

Here in the UK you can always find an electric kettle, without question. In Italy a Moka pot. In Japan a rice cooker.

It says a lot about what's important to people.

It's only really in the US that you see such a proliferation of hyper-specific kitchen gadgets. Smoothie maker, waffle maker, electric egg poacher, vegetable spiralizer...

I don't know if that says anything about American culture, or just that you guys have really big kitchens.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

I've never seen any of those with permanent counter space in any American kitchen. I've never even heard of an electric egg poacher.

We often do have really big kitchens, but it’s more about us being sold the idea of having whatever we want, whenever we want it, and there’s a gadget for that.

Although, I will say, in most American kitchens I’ve seen have, at least, a toaster oven. Possibly an air fryer. Those both are pretty common here.

Yeah I think my wife bought this already

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

Cool! Does it have AI? Also I want it to connect to a phone app, do not bring me an actual program, or a website (I don't understand what's a "browser", is it Google?), bring me an app! I'm fine with a subscription model, or if the cube starts leaking ooze onto the counter without it. It's also fine if the cube is expected to leak ooze two years from now, because some server thingamajig is gone.

/s obviously.

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Airfryers are just much faster to deal with smaller things. Less air to heat up before it reaches the desired temp.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Sometimes I use my oven for one thing and my air fryer for another thing at the same time.

Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won't match.

Introducing the single use monstrosity! Used for shaving strawberries for one part of one dish!

The key is the attachments. The pasta maker is decent, the grinder is great. Honestly, while I don’t use it weekly I certainly use it monthly.

[–] mx_smith@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] cmhe@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

No, but it can crush it.

[–] null@lemmy.org 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, but what attachments does it have?
