>many bananas create weak monke
>few bananas create strong monke
that’s not how it works-
With a food shortage only the strong survive. With a surplus many more survive, including weak monke that would normally not make it.

>Believes in the meritocracy meme
>chud obsessed scrote
Pottering-
Anon, you’re confusing survival of the fittest with meritocracy. Selective pressure 100% does create stronger animals. Sometimes that selective pressure comes from resource scarcity, sometimes it comes from other things. It’s reasonable to extend these principles to behaviours. This is the basis of evolutionary psychology. Feel free to criticize evolutionary psychology, but your reference to meritocracy just shows that you didn’t understand the post you replied to.

You can cope all you want but you’re still gonna get shot before you got a chance to live out your keyboard warrior fantasies.

1) I’m not that anon you initially replied to
2) where did that anon imply that they considered themself to be among the strong?You’re criticizing something you don’t understand by making strawman arguments in order to then insult someone. I should expect this level of stupidity on LULZ, but nevertheless, I am impressed.

omg srsly, took me forever to find a good microwave with a dial button

Because companies that produce high quality products don’t get repeat business, their products last a lifetime.
The key is making it so your product lasts slightly longer than the competition (or exactly the same length of time if you’re part of a lightbulb consortium), while also appearing higher quality at first glance. Bonus points if you can shove in some buzzword features and pretend it’s more energy efficient somehow. Make something too crappy, and the consumers will buy from your competitors next time (who are all really just shell companies and brands you already own the rights to).

Planned obsolescence they design products to fail not work
-
This is the only and correct answer. But it’s also worth noting that planned obsolescence has been around from the early 20th century and started in the automotive world.

Buy tefal sandwhich press because I trusted the brand
Coating falls of and plastic breaks
Metal casing comes loose
Never buy tefal again
Planned obsolescence only works if you have the market cornered
I stopped using an IPhone after apple pulled that stunt
-
I once had a Tefal ActiFry. You put a little bit of oil in them with some chips (fries for you merilards) and they’d automatically rotate and flip as they cooked so when they were done they’d taste perfect, like they had been deep fried. It didn’t last very long and it stopped working within a few months.
-
>fryer
Doesn’t a microwave sized oven with hot air do the same job if you spray some oil on the stuff before putting it in?

why put in the r&d when people aren’t willing to pay for a fancier microwave?
even though the computer in that would be peanuts to produce, why spend the money even developing it in the first place, if you can get the same amount of money by just not doing it?
making something cheaper is often more rewarded than making something better -
Real answer is competition leads to manufacturers using cheaper shoddier parts to save on costs. People buy the cheapest thing that works so all you need to do is get a working product, it doesn’t have to be durable.
-
This. Consumers don’t give a fuck how long a product lasts. The sooner a product breaks down the sooner a consumer can buy a new one.

I’ve opened thousands of microwaves over the years, from the highest end models to the lowest supermarket own brand shit, and let me tell you they are all exactly the same inside. Same components, from the same Chinese factory, laid out in the exact same design.

microwaves are so 20th century
The convection oven is the white thinking mans’ quick cooking method-
Yeah I’m totally going to do my popcorn in a convection oven, you scrotebrain.
-
microwaved popcorn tastes like cardboard and smells like a scrotes ass. A white man pops jiffy pop
-
Are you telling me that you use a convection oven to pop jiffy pop?
And anyway, if you want to talk about flavour, etc, the best way to make popcorn is with a dedicated popping device like an air popper or stovetop popper and add butter and other toppings separately to get the exact proportion of butter, saltiness, etc, that you want. But at the end of the day, it’s popcorn we’re talking about, not fuckin caviar, and I’m most happy flinging a bag into my microwave, pressing a button, and coming back 2-3 minutes later to collect my perfectly popped popcorn.

Another guy advocating for stove tops when I’m criticizing a scrotebrain for comparing convection ovens to microwaves. It’s incredible how dumb you monkeys are.

microwave popcorn is gross. What is that oily slime they call "butter flavor"? It turns to a wax in the mouth and coats the tongue with a layer of that shit. freaking gross.

zoomers are so freaking dumb these days-
>1841
>zoomers -
antique is less about the amount of time which has passed and more whether it’s considered modern
personally i would not call this antiquated, because it’s basically like any other modern microwave, i could slap this in my kitchen and nobody would even question it, because it looks and functions like any brand new microwave -
>Muh zommer boogeyman
The guy who made the video is definitely not a zoomer.-
Everyone under 40 is a zoo mer

Literally false

shut the fuck up nerd it’s perfectly fine to use antique that way

no it isn’t

>it’s perfectly fine to use antique that way
intellectually bankrupt and poorly educated baboons: checked and witnessed-
it’s a joke you brainless mong
doesn’t something need to be at least old fashioned to be considered antique?
ok, so it’s not black with a full glass front, so? you can still buy plain white plastic faced microwaves, it’s not old fashioned, it’s just plain by today’s standardsit’s about the control software you brainless mong

i have a 1996 microwave and is still working till this day with no problems and leaks.

YOU DIDN’T LISTEN
NOW YOU COME TO ASK FOR HELP
THE ANSWER IS
GNO -
Because of marketing department and bean counters
The marketing department wants to sell microwaves to scrotebrains who can’t set the timer and power themselves
the accountants want to make it as cheap as possible
Result-cheapest electronic system that fail as soon as you look at it.Same goes for everything.
Iphone-
Marketing flaws-OS for scrotebrains that’s useless for anyone smart
acounting-hardware designed to failAndroid-
Marketing-Muh always listening voice assistant cause scrotebrains don’t wanna type
Awful sandboxing (for android 11+) that slows phones down cause scrotebrains can’t help themselves with avoiding virusesAccounting- Bloated OS, designed to make phone slower after x amount of time.
scrotebrained choice of flash memory that becomes slow over time
Unrepairable hardware (impossible to get spare parts)PC-
Marketing-Software designed to not run on old hardware while fooling you into thinking you need it(like games… People still run new games on old hardware by modding them, proving that it’s intentional but muh graphics).
accounting-Hardware sometimes self destructs (see capacitor plague and battery acid leaks)Cars-
Marketing- scrotebrained digital systems that fail and takes away the ability to even start your engine cause scrotebrains feel it’s high tech and cool
Accounting- designed to be unrepairable-
Cars aren’t designed to be unrepairable, that’d bite the manufacturers in the ass hardcore. It’s much better to design them to be annoying to repair, making the customer bring it to the shop for repairs instead where you can fleece both the customer with spare part prices and the shop with yearly maintenance software licenses.

>Tech only gets worse. Why is this?
1) Technology has a end and a limit after reaching it further progress is not possible.
>>Tech only gets worse. Why is this?
2)The corporation need to shove their spyware processors somewhere anon and you are getting a worse microwave for this. -
emphasis on profit above all other sensibilities
over the last 2 decades money replaced traditional religions and became the public’s new god. no one noticed this change in our hearts because it’s been so slow and it’s easy to believe that it’s always been this way
-
profit motive takes over
-
The concept of minimum viable product and a shit economy
Innovation is expensive and risky. Most people just want cheap shit that does the job.
-
Companies want everything to turn into a subscription model and they do this through defective and obfuscated parts that are impossible to replace without them making money, so you have to either buy an official replacement or an entirely new product altogether.

Who needs a high tech microwave?
-
I had one mircowave whilst growing up till I was like 20 or something.
It broke.
I bought a new microwave with all sorts of fancy bullshit I couldn’t care to learn tom use. Broke in like 3 years.
Shit costs more with thousands of useless features but breaks in a heartbeat -
>sharp
It’s nippon tech im not surprised -
doesn’t something need to be at least old fashioned to be considered antique?
