I wouldn’t worry about it too much. This product will likely flop and the ads will be off the air soon enough. There’s just too small of an audience for this kind of device.

Hit every possible morning routine cliché so every single person can relate to it.

I think the oldest said it best. "Not cool." She also didn't use it? Clearly the smart one.

That was infuriatingly: Absolute Chaos (and hella long) As a parent of a teenager and a human, I feel like I was not the target of this ad or device. It didn't make the morning better, just added another "person" amidst the chaos.

Like why couldn't people just talk? "Hey mom, I don't need a ride anymore a friend is taking me" "Hey honey, let’s take Ice Skating lessons" These people are so aloof and unrelatable.

And who makes French toast when they are in a hurry to leave?!

I could definitely see uses for this device, but it's in places I already have other devices that fill that void. We all have phones or laptops or tablets, this is just another thing... a solution looking for a problem. Thought the same with the Echo Show but I know at least one family with two of those, so guess we'll see.

I could see something like this working as a control centre in an RV or trailer, but it's uses are pretty limited.

"Hey let's buy this device so we can add an extra step to all of our communication."

Exactly, the nail on the head there!

Do post ads when they are shaming a company. You don't make the rules here.

It gets a bit of vanilla, cinnamon, and if you're me, a pinch of nutmeg.

So relatable. I have nothing but disposable income so will be buying one of these dedicated square iPads for every room of this house I totally own.

There's a million recipes out there. You don't need a clanker to pick one for you. What's wrong with looking at some and imagining of you would like that combination of ingredients? Oh yes, that would require using your brain and that is strongly discouraged now we are paying for simple mental tasks.

It stressed me out, and that stupid clanker pod was was just making it worse. Do people aspire to live life like that? Looked hellish to me.

My comment is upvoted and the post is downvoted. I might not make the rules but it certainly seems as though I share the sentiment.

There is so much going on in this ad, but what I love the most is that they fucking drilled a hole in their countertop for the USB-C cable. Who the fuck does that? Is that what Apple expects its customers to do?

Park this thing in a nook in the one area of the kitchen with a free outlet and then reshoot the commercial.

Get eggs and sliced bread, mix up the eggs in a bowl untill it's the same colour, soak bread in mixture, put egg soaked bread in frying pan till cooked.

Then if you want to get fancy, add a bit of milk or cream to the mixture, salt and pepper, cinnamon if you want to feel festive. As kids we used to sprinkler sugar on it. I just dip it in ketchup.

There a 3 ways to fuck it up; getting egg shell in the mixture, leaving the bread in the mixture until it disolves, and burning it whilst cooking it

I never said I couldn't find a recipe - the question was: who the fuck doesn't know how to make french toast?

I don't.

What a strange thing to so angry about.

Do not share advertisements. They are toxic to society, always based in a lie, and never of benefit. Making fun of them is not better than genuinely shilling for the company. Block ads. Destroy them where possible. Seek to have them banned wherever possible. They are not welcome on Lemmy, and if you are going to share them, neither are you.

If you're going to post ads, maybe mark it as NSFW or post it as a link inside a spoiler tag or something. I don't want to see this fucking garbage just start autoplaying on my feed, ever, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
