Duchess of Umbrage on Nostr: I have a talking rice cooker. I didn’t go looking for a talking rice cooker, it ...
I have a talking rice cooker. I didn’t go looking for a talking rice cooker, it just happened that way, the way things do. About 4 or 5 times during the rice cooking process a very nice lady’s voice will suddenly make an announcement in Korean, and it jump-scares me every time. Supposedly I can change the language to English, but I’ve lost the manual so no idea how to do that, and anyway, sudden remarks in my native tongue would startle me just as much, possibly more. My question is, why should a rice cooker talk at all?
