Was shopping at an appliance store earlier and really saw the spiderweb of technology weaved into modern appliances and I fully understand Ted Kaczynski now

It's in everything now. It became like a museum exhibit to me seeing the most wild things. Wifi toaster WHYY? Like I knew about smart fridges but I was seeing like overly technical smart phone connectable kettles and like some griddle made for just bacon?? Whyyy
I'm just gonna start buying every single "dumb" appliance I see at goodwill thrifting from now on. I'll make a little collection and gift some to friends who want out of the techno hellscape too. I keep thinking about the absurd amount of lights and screens on things that have no reason to have one and how fast they'll likely break. All that shit will be in landfill in like 10 years max

In high school around the turn of the millennium (:chomsky-yes-honey:) I lost marks on a paper where I stated that a need to move to IPv6 was due to address space exhaustion, and that in the future even toasters would have IP addresses. I was told I was wrong and toasters would never have IP addresses.
The future may be awful, but I can rest easy knowing that I was indeed right :gaddafi-happy:
