It’s a kettle…
People either don’t know they exist or have some weird thing with them. Gives me the same vibes as cultures that don’t sleep with the fans on lol.
Not sleeping with the fan on is a way to save face, at least in Asian cultures. In which it’s basically the families out to admit they committed suicide.
They say if you have a fan on in the night and the door closes, it creates a vortex and somehow sucks out all the oxygen.
My weird thing with them is a lack of counter space

Well they aren’t wrong. They just come from a time with a lot less consumer safety. And we’re headed back with fake UL stuff being sold in stores. We kind of grew up in a golden age of consumer safety. we even made jokes about “don’t use grandma’s extension cord”.
