Self-stirring cups must be the peak human laziness invention, is there anything else?

Given that all they apparently did was shape the bottom of the cup a particular way, that's not laziness. It's ingenuity. If we called every clever design improvement laziness the wheel wouldn't exist.
If your bedframe or side table can hold a goose neck I don't know why on Earth anyone would use that thing.
It's completely flexible so it can be balanced to prop up or rebalanced for when I'm laying down. And no I don't know why that guy's face has been badly blurred, lol
I work at a target right now and have to do this pretty frequently as they don't actually have specific staff for it. The most infuriating aspect of it has been people who inexplicably don't understand that they have to open the app and notify the store that they've arrived. Several times a week someone will angrily call and complain that they've been sitting in the parking lot for ten minutes, and then I have to walk them through the process. That usually just makes them angrier.
Next thing you know everything is controlled using your voice. They won't even know what hands are meant for
tbf stands for use in bed are great because you've not known pain until you drop your phone (or in my case on a couple occasions, a Vita) on your damn face.
That actually sounds really cool and clever engineering.
I imagine it's less about people being lazy and more like maintaining the coffee's quality for longer, since it won't stop stirring.
This is pretty cool. R&D aside, I'd imagine that this would probably cut down on waste over time, assuming the cup is made to last, is washable, etc.
My hunch is that when it cools it stops spinning, which might be a mixed bag if you like to drink things when they're very hot.
Can you use this for power generation? Or mini power generators you can fit into an electric car?
We live in a reality where people barely know how to cut vegetables so this doesn't surprise me.
I mean they dedicated a whole day to legs. "Leg day", give me a break, where's hand day, you assholes.
That's on Target, though, for not having everything available online that's available to be pulled in the store.
Or press buttons on a television or manually roll up car windows. Or drive a stick shift for that matter.
As a frequent Target shopper, I would like to apologize on behalf of my peers.
I'm so sorry
LOL dumbass pricing. I wouldn't pay more than 7$. Gonna keep a lookout at my local thrift shops.
I mean I got issues with cats too. They're a novelty pet that serves little practical purpose, and meanwhile they're decimating bird populations. I'm solidly on the "keep your cats indoors or get them a loud collar" train now. Never thought I'd say that, but it's necessary.
So yes, cats.
That is actually quite clever.
This has been available since ages. Samsung started it a few years ago.
Most of them also sell electric toothbrushes...
Anyways, I think this trend all started with this lazy sack of shit:
...most of them make the majority of their money off of people who don't brush properly.
Electric toothbrushes make brushing dummy-proof. Any older dentist will tell you that their number of fillings and root canals have gone down since electric toothbrushes became mainstream.
Yeah that sucks. How long do you have to pull the items?
That Super Store episode where their version of Walmart started this off was horrific (in a funny way, of course).
That's the exception. Other people not being able to brush with a manual toothbrush are just lazy.
Somebody pointed out to me once that it is a blessing for people with certain disabilities that prevent them from working with knives.
But true, for us abled people it is peak laziness/decadence
I would like to remind this thread that a lot of you people are being really disgustingly ableist.
Also, you might want to do some research into what modern psychology has to say about the concept of "laziness".

Electronic toothbrushes are objectively better at cleaning your teeth.
i love when I'm holding my phone above my face and i drop it on my face. it's a uniquely stupid moment.
