LG smart refrigerator used for tweeting by teen whose mom banned electronics
Fox News ^ | 08/14/2019 | Nicole Darrah

A teenager who claims her mother took her electronics away seemingly resorted to what might be the last imaginable place to tweet from: a refrigerator.

The plight of 15-year-old Twitter user "Dorothy" was noticed earlier this month after she kept tweeting about how her mom kept taking gadgets away from her, leaving her unable to tweet.

The account, which appears to function as an Ariana Grande fan page, posted a tweet on Aug. 4 that read: "im leaving forever. my mom took my phone. ill miss u all sm. im crying. goodbye."

Twitter, which shows where users' tweets are sent from, showed that the teen's tweet was sent from a Nintendo 3DS.

But later that day, Dorothy's mom seemingly noticed her daughter was tweeting from the gaming device, and announced on Twitter her account "will be shut down now."

Despite her mother's guidance, the teen did not give up. On Aug. 5, she tweeted from her Wii U — thanking everyone for their support in her quest to tweet, no matter the consequences. In a follow-up tweet from her Wii U, she wrote her mom was at work and she planned to try looking for her phone.

But on Aug. 8, Dorothy's predicament took another turn. Still without her electronics, the teen resorted to tweeting from her smart fridge.

"I do not know if this is going to tweet I am talking to my fridge what the heck my Mom confiscated all of my electronics again," she said.

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

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!!!!!!!!!

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

Don’t worry. The drones are your friends.

[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)

[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!!!

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

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

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.
