I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam.


My refrigerator sent me a push notification that I'm eating too much dairy. I didn't ask for this feature. I just wanted a machine that dispensed crushed ice and kept my milk cold.

The fridge locked the drawer and suggested a handful of almonds via the LCD screen. I'm a grown man paying a mortgage. I had to unplug the entire unit just to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Now all my condiments are warm but I've reestablished dominance over my kitchen. Tomorrow I'm going to eat a stick of butter right in front of the internal camera. I won't be bullied by a Samsung.
