I found a t-shirt with this meme except it was only fire, the wheel and Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. I was heavily contemplating buying it

Going to risk garlic bread pre-dates sliced bread. And lost again!

The Game is a game you win by forgetting about The Game. When you remember or are reminded about The Game, you immediately lose. As a consequence of losing you have to announce to those in proximity that you have lost The Game, which then causes them to lose The Game as well. The Game resumes after you forget about it again.

Speaking of... I just lost The Game. Thanks.

It was invented by the webcomic housepets which means it can’t be dumb because paper bags are awesome

Electricity is just fentanyl for vacuum cleaners

I don't think it is, but I don't know enough about vacuum cleaner drugs to argue.

If you don’t own one, you’re not missing out on much. If you do own one, you love that basically anything you would otherwise cook in the oven for 30-60 minutes+20 minute pre-heat (think: frozen meals) can now be cooked in under 20 minutes with no pre-heating time or anything.

My parents got one and swore by it for about 2 months before storing it in the basement, and I haven't seen it since. They also have a high end convection toaster oven and it seems to do the exact same thing, except it takes up less space and is way easier to clean. I could see getting a cheap air fryer for anyone who doesn't want to spend a fuckton on a toaster oven but generally they seem way overhyped

Air fryers are convection ovens. They're just in a convenient case and size. There's literally no difference in how they work, other than being less useful than a full sized convection oven.

I suppose technically the air fryer is using a bit less energy due to the smaller size.

Having no experience with a full sized convection oven I believe air fryers are faster since they are smaller. Also, they’re cheaper and more apartment friendly than full-sized convection ovens so I’d argue they’re not useless, just serve a slightly different purpose.

I wasn't trying to imply that they are useless. Just that as far as the food you make in them is concerned, it's just a smaller convection oven.

Convection ovens are just as fast because of how they work. There's basically no heat up time. They just use a lot more energy to do the same thing.

Never heard of a convection toaster oven, but aside from being a toaster that does sound exactly like an air fryer since an air fryer is just a small (read: quicker-heating) convection oven

Also due to the quicker cooking time food comes out with different texture. My chicken thighs are juicer, chicken wings are crispier, grilled cheese is crunchier, and potatoes come out just right.

I know they are a pain in the ass to clean but the few months we went between air fryers were more painful. I don't understand how our oven makes such bad chicken strips.

Yah, but we forgot about it for over 10,000 years. We were all winners for quite some time.
