We don't need them because we don't try to stuff half-eaten monte cristos in the kitchen sink and actually manage to throw trash in the trashcan.

Tap and pay with a bank card? Debit Card and Credit Card directly?

You are mainly listing apps.

We are talking about physically tapping your card on the store machine.
I'm actually concerned that a lot of you non-US individuals are living in your own bubble. None of this stuff is new or revolutionary, we simply don't use it much because it doesn't save that much time or hassle.
It does.

:-)
or you can just microwave some water for a minute instead of wasting gas to boil it.
What if you want more than one cup of tea? What if you have a group of people?

Why not just boil a kettle that can serve multiple people?

It's called water cooker, teapot and water cooker is not the same. And using gas to cook at home, what a ridiculous notion? We do that **** in our mountain cabins where we don't have 220 volts sockets (by choice).

Tea pot =/= kettle
I grew up in the 1950-60s.
We called it by both names.

When heated the water and pour the hot water in to a tea cup or mug over a tea bag.


We didn't waste time pouring hot water into another pot to pour tea from it.

Interesting. Never knew the disposals were for odor control. I never really like the thought of grinding the food becuase it sounds like a clogging nightmare.

yeah they've had the tap and pay in the US for ages, until it got rendered virtually useless by chip cards. There are still some non chip cards that have it, but it just doesn't save much time honestly. maybe it's worth it to you, but everyone i know has it and doesn't use it. As far as apps vs "tap and pay" why does it matter the method of the wireless payment, if the argument is about being current with the times?

RE cups of tea...like i said i have a spout that puts out boiling water on demand so if i need more, i just pour more. I live alone, so rarely do i need hot water for more than myself. even so, if i had company regularly, I would get a teapot which doubles as a kettle to boil water on the stove. You guys acting like these things simply don't exist in the US.

water cooker = tea kettle right? for heating water? I'm not sure what your point is distinguishing the two. So you guys keep tea in a pot, congrats. We keep hot water in a pot, and put the tea in cups so they aren't constantly mixed. you guys are literally arguing semantics. notice how nowhere in my previously quoted post did i mention a teapot. You brought it up first.

Where did I say using gas to cook at home was a ridiculous notion? I just said microwaving would save you the gas costs. So you voluntarily choose to forego electricity in mountain cabins when you could very well have them and make your life more easily? That seems pretty nonsensical to me.

You non-Americans are grasping at every straw to try and seem superior lol

Actually what you posted is different to what Rabbitjb posted.

Both are kettles, but you posted what looks like an old fashioned stove top kettle. I've not seen one of those since the 1980's. Everyone now uses electric kettles which are much faster than the old stove top kettles.

This... I've been trying to figure out why I would ever need a tea pot/kettle when I have a spout that pulls out over my stove that has instant boiling water...



Why would I need such a primitize object as a tea kettle? Is this fkn caveman era?

At least Americans and Brits both have dryers which we never had. However, hygiene is good in Finland, since even every public toilet has a hand shower between the toilet and the sink.

But yeah, the blender in the sink was pretty weird to get used to when I moved here.

And yes, even poor people have straight teeth here in LA, everyone basically gets braces.
