Excuse me but us Asians have been using air fryers since the 90s.
"I berieve I can fry!"
I'll see myself out.
OP meant to say waterboarding Asians until they pick a trend.
What else do you know?
You do Crossfit?
Out-crazying all the crazy passengers. This probably stops so many stupid rants and conversations dead in their tracks.
5/5 pro move.
- The moon landing was staged.
- Pfft, you believe in the moon?
The moon landing was actually staged. It has been proven that Kubrick filmed it ... but he is a perfectionist and demanded it be filmed on location. He made Armstrong do 48 takes.
Yep, that one was next on my list.
or this is the champion crazy passenger theory. it's the one to beat and he's excited to hear the next humdinger
A bartender a few months ago told me electric cars were way more dangerous than ice cars because the batteries emitted a gas that caused cancer. At first I thought he simply got confused and meant the opposite but no, he repeated it: the batteries in electric cars emit a gas that give you cancer.
I did not push the conversation any further.
Growing up I had a friend whose mom was a little too crunchy and she ended up getting rid of their microwave because she thought the microwaves gave the food cancer and when you ate it you would get the cancer from your food
If you can't trust a bartender about car stuff, who can you trust?
This particular bartender actually knew about cars, since he had trained as a mechanic or so he said. We were talking about JDM, something about BMWs and so on and that’s how we landed on that topic. I was saying how EVs are all pretty much super cars and then he retorted he would never buy an EV because the battery emitted cancer causing gasses. I retorted with something along the lines of “if that were the case, you should get rid of your phone since they use the same kind of battery” and then he doubled down and I just went “huh” that was pretty much the end of that conversation.
I mean, if you poke the battery, something hurtful comes out of it.
Please don't poke batteries.
Alternatively... If you operate an ICE vehicle as intended, it emits a gas that causes cancer
Well yes, but he meant like while you drove the car and while it was sitting in your garage.
This is why I could never go electric. I love just sitting in the garage, listening to music for hours while the car runs. I refuse to give up my me time.
Lead acid car batteries can emit a bit of gas, especially the old ones. That's why when jumping a car you're supposed to put the negative on the frame. Probably thinks it's all batteries.
yeah but that's hydrogen, and you place the terminal on the frame because if it sparks when you connect it the battery can blow up from the hydrogen it's offing.
A bartender told me that Titan got eaten by a megalodon.
Is this true?
Sometimes it feels like that with social media and related platforms. Both Zoom and TikTok seemed to go from something I'd never of to things that everyone was talking about overnight. In Zoom's case, it definitely seemed like guerrilla viral advertising. Like when everyone was talking about Stanley™ cups for a while, not flasks or water bottles but Stanley™ cups.
The craziest thing about all of your examples is that they weren’t even revolutionary. We already had Vine, Skype, and YETI cups. How the hell did they get everyone to believe that TikTok, Zoom, and Stanley cups were game-changing new ideas?
I've used both zoom and Skype and I can confirm zoom is far better
Yeti caps are better than Stanley though.
Those Stanley cups were so expensive 😂. I don’t get it. It’s a flask.
Meanwhile, there's me wondering why hockey is all of sudden so popular in the middle of the summer.
In Zoom's case, it definitely seemed like guerrilla viral advertising.
So you're saying Zoom did COVID?
I sometimes imagine some introvert developer at Zoom getting a monkey's paw: "I wish I worked at one of the most well-known companies in the world, and I wish I didn't have to keep going out and meeting people!"
I've had air fryer before they became popular. It was called glass convection oven. I still use it because it's larger than any air frier you can buy.
The magic of "air fryers", other than a good marketing name, was that they were also much cheaper that those awesome glass convection ovens and were not targeting a higher class demographic.
Thing is, that's not even true. Glass convection oven is 60€. Air friers of somewhat similar size from brands like Philips or Tefal cost almost 400€. And are still actually smaller in usable space to make food. But thry look fancy and have a big color display and WiFi and whatnot. Convection oven just has temeprature and timer knobs and thats it.
We're clearly thinking of or seeing different products. The older glass convection ovens I used to see were in the $300-$400 ballpark in the US back in the 90s and early 2000s, where as typical air fryers here are all sub $100 unless you are getting a "fancy" model that includes some sort of "grilling" or rotisserie functionality. As you are referring to prices in euros, I can only assume that we had very different marketed products.

Using the High Boi classification method, i give your Uber review 5 pie charts out of 7 bar graphs.
makes sense.
If someone is so far out of the world, I wonder if he sees traffic signs and -lights just as funny flowers or something.
I've had a air fryer for nearly 15 years. This one has lasted eight.
