I feel like it wouldn’t even be hard to make small appliances or even major appliances that were designed with repairability first, we just need somebody to hurry up and design such a thing and get the parts manufactured

It kind of sucks how much marketing has manufactured stuff out of thin air that we’re all just supposed to go with despite it being totally artificial.

It’s loss
I heard that a lot of that stuff had lead in it, making it useless for eating with
