    Out-crazying all the crazy passengers. This probably stops so many stupid rants and conversations dead in their tracks.

    5/5 pro move.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        This isn’t true. Broiling is when heat is applied from above, also known as grilling in the UK. Convection ovens move hot air all around the oven and cook things evenly from all sides. Air fryers are counter-top convection ovens.

        Glass convection oven works in exact same way as air friers. Heating element with fan on top blowing air downwards which then circulates in the glass bowl. Mine even has custom made non stick perforated plate where I put the food and it’s surface is way larger than largest air frier I’ve ever seen.

          A lot of convection ovens have fan in the rear, now what?

          it’s surface is way larger than largest air frier I’ve ever seen.

          Is that a flex? Air fryers are faster because their volume is much smaller than the traditional oven.

            Glass convection oven specifically always has heater and fan on top.

            Yes, it’s a “flex” because companies advertise how XXXXXL their air frier is and is still smaller than 10 years old glass convection oven that also costs 5x less.

            Air fryers cooking speed isn’t because they are small, it’s because they produce a large amount of heat compared to their volume. Being small makes that cheaper and easier to do.

            Toaster ovens/convection ovens can match the same affect, although most dont. Some, do.

    If someone is so far out of the world, I wonder if he sees traffic signs and -lights just as funny flowers or something.
