The old joke: people who are into tech have an Alexa, a smart thermostat, a fridge connected to the internet.
People who work in tech keep an axe next to the toaster.
- alt227 8mo agoDo you want a slice of toast?....
- blarg1 8mo agoi dont want any smegging toast!
- fullstop 8mo agoSmeg actually makes a toaster. It's expensive, looks cute, and doesn't work that well when compared to a far cheaper toaster oven.
- HugoTea 8mo agoThis applies to most Smeg products. Which is a shame, they used to be really good and long-lasting.
- zhengyi13 8mo agoI can't speak to their quality, but every time I see their name, I wonder about how they're received in England: Americans might generally be unaware, but "smeg" as a name doesn't land well there, as I understand it.
- DrScientist 8mo agoA UK comedy called RedDwarf used variations of smeg as a mild expletive quite liberally. When asked some of the producers claimed they made it up to get around broadcast rules, but most people think it's a shortening of smegma.
- GJim 8mo agoAaaah, so you're a waffle man.
- ddmf 7mo agoso you're a waffle guy?
- projektfu 8mo agoNo way I'm putting an axe near an appliance like that. I need to sleep at night.
- Ir0nMan 8mo agoI'm sorry Dave, I can't toast that.
