    Anything cooking related. It all the same shit you already had but this time it’s plastic, harder to clean and only does 1 specific thing.

      Not to mention the shit that’s completely fucking useless, like Juicero - a “juice squeezing machine” that only works with plastic bags you get from their subscription service.

        You can also just… empty the bags manually. Without buying the super expensive machine.

          Or just buy a glass or box of juice, which is also cheaper than their proprietary bags

          Yes, but you wouldn’t be a cool forward-thinking silicon valley tech fan anymore. Only kind of /s.

      Can you give a few examples of older stuff worth getting? I’m looking to update my kitchen soon :)

        Old mandolin slicers. The plastic on one’s produced recently cracks in a year for the cheap ones, or five years for the expensive ones. My grandmother had one that was solid metal. I’m sure it’s serving my cousin as well today as it served my grandmother 50+ years ago.

        I’d suggest a stand mixer, but even those have gone down hill, even brands like kitchenaid have gotten worse.

        Maybe some old pyrex, if you can find some. The new stuff is bad, can’t recommend that.
