The internet of things. Just wait until Skynet goes active, that slow cooker will take you out.

[sparklite2]

I like her, too. And I sympathize.
Why, I’m posting this from a slide rule.

We just bought a slow cooker that has wifi........

A few years ago I passed an end cap at Wal-Mart, had to stop and walk back and make sure I was not hallucinating. Slow cooker with wi-fi...thought about it for a few seconds and realized that it made sense.

Still clinging to Grandma's original from the 60's though!

I think we've seen this electronic Dorothy before.

Last I saw, she and her sisters had been riding in a red pickup truck. One was in a yellow Jeep.

[Geez, Dorothy, stop the whining and get a job to pay for your own tech stuff. Read a classic book. Clean your room. Help mom with chores. Cook dinner and have it waiting for mom when she get in from a long day of working to pay your bills. What did you do to get into trouble in the first place?]

Stop making sense!!!!!!!!!

[The internet of things. Just wait until Skynet goes active, that slow cooker will take you out.]

Actually there will be no need for take-out. :)

Skynet will have the slow-cooker cook.....you.

In Soviet Skynet, slow-cooker slow-cooks YOU!!!

I for one welcome our new algorithm electronic masters.

It may be the peace of plenty and content, or it may be the peace of unburied dead. Hey don't change out that component on that nuclear-tipped missile. Oooops...BOOM!!

Everybody loves the voice of World Control! Colossus and Guardian will decide what's best for us. Or they will nuke us. Whichever comes first. Yay Skynet!!

[ I never had OnStar or any of those things on my vehicle. At some point, someone will figure out they can disable the vehicle if you’re behind on payments. ]

Heh, there’s already a commercial where OnStar stops your stolen vehicle for the cops.

Fortunately, I’m sure a Skynet could never abuse such a system.....heh

[In the background my smart exercise bike whizzes menacingly. There is no escape.]

Don’t worry. The drones are your friends.

[SaveFerris]

Yes!!

[SaveFerris]

[I thought of that, but then I wondered why you’d be leaving slow cooker food sit in a slow cooker at room temp? You’d be much better off letting it slow cook.]

Yes. Dangerous with pork or poultry especially.

Even beef. (raw of course, on all of that)

Twitter doesn’t do Shakespeare style of writing.

[The toaster has been acting suspiciously lately...............]

The toaster finds your lack of faith....disturbing. It told the fridge, which told Alexa, which Tweeted Jeff Bezos, who called Zuckerberg.

The Battlebot drones will be arriving any sec....get outta there quick!!!

[Rebelbase]

My fridge is so dirty that if it could tweet I’d be arrested for abuse of appliances.

[Rebelbase]

You mean you’ve never had an overwhelming urge to talk to your crockpot from work at 2:00 pm?

[COBOL2Java]

I’m glad my fridge can’t tweet.

...as long as it doesn't twerk... :0)

[z3n]

No, but if my crockpot talked like a crackpot socialist, it would be promising to provide bread and water after a 4 hour wait, and a band aid after a 42 hour wait, if only I offered to give up 93% of my paycheck for the privilege to.

I need one of those Colossus t-shirts.

I suppose some Russian had a Guardian t-shirt.

But who would win a kung-fu battle?

Colossus or Guardian?

I suppose they could play Grand Theft Auto and decide it that way.

“We just bought a slow cooker that has wifi........”

does it tweet and cook or just cook?
