  To quote Dan Harmon:

  If you ask a toaster, “What’s the most important thing in the world?” it’s going to tell you, “Bread.” And if you ask a toaster its opinion of bread, it’s going to tell you, "It’s not toasted enough. So let’s look at the television as an appliance. What’s it doing? It’s making you watch it. “Is your neighbor racist? Is it dangerous to go outside? Fuck yeah!” says the television, “Does your racist neighbor have bread?” says the toaster. “Bring it in here!” "And if you cant finish it, put it in me’ says the refrigerator. But the fucking television is the worst of all. It’s telling you, “Whatever you do, stay in your living room and it will tell you anything to make that happen.”

  So now let’s look at the internet as an appliance…

        I wasn’t being pedantic, It’s an important distinction. You don’t have to think so though, you don’t have to be rude about other people’s opinions.
