I love this because half of the people are getting amazing, fantasy names and the other half are getting unpronounceable ones.

if there’s one thing I’ve learned from fiction it’s this

if you’re eavesdropping and hear people talking about you and they say something upsetting

make sure you stay and hear the conversation to the end don’t just run off into the night  you dumb chucklefuck

happy mother’s day, earth. i’m sorry we are destroying you

[mr-cappadocia]

For hundreds of thousands of years “mother earth” sent every horror under the sun against her human children. Plague, drought, famine, volcanic detonation, and destruction on an enormous scale decase after decade, century after century.

And you find fault with us?

A mother who tortured her children the way she’s tortured us isn’t fit to bear the title “mother”. A mother who feeds and then starves, a mother who gives birth and then slaughters…

That she should find our blade at her throat now should be a surprise to none involved. We owe her nothing, least of all the compassion she’s never shown us.

okay i got sick of waiting for answers so i hopped onto some international versions of amazon and here is what i found:

australian amazon only sells books?? what the fuck

same for chinese amazon but that’s not as surprising

german microwaves have a potato button, but only when there are buttons. most of these things have dials. like… what. only weird fancy american microwaves have dials. also i saw a yogurt button.

indian microwaves seem to generally feature a ‘stuffed veg’ button instead of a potato-specific button. there is also a rice button. but do you know what else is standard. A GODDAMNED CHICKEN TANDOORI BUTTON. FUCK ME.

german and indian microwaves both had beverage buttons, which was not a surprise, but they also both had pizza buttons, which WAS a surprise. the indian microwaves called it a bread snack but it was clearly a picture of a pizza. why is the pizza button more universal than the potato button??

japanese microwaves have rice buttons and not potato buttons. no surprises there. the big surprise is that they also favor the dial. for that matter india had a lot of microwaves with dials, too. what gives. why the dials. where are your flat, easy to clean buttons.

according to italian amazon, in italian you call a kitchenaid stand mixer a “robot da cucina”. that is the cutest fucking thing i have ever heard. but back to microwaves. once again i’m seeing a lot of dials. you know these aren’t real ovens, right? why are you adjusting the strength so much. keep it on high and hit the one minute button. stop complicating things with dials. a lot of these are just rebranded german microwaves, so there is a potato button, and also a yogurt button.

see above for spain. y’all just have the same microwave. spain’s amazon is a lot less intuitive than every other country’s. i don’t know why. spanish amazon, please fix your menu system. it is wrong.

This concludes my fact-finding mission. Australia, why are your microwaves so mysterious.

[medusasmirror]

I love the words “potato button”

[destinationtoast]

I deeply admire the OP’s devotion to cross-cultural microwave studies and potato button data.

Australians: PLEASE END THE SUSPENSE. DO YOU HAVE A POTATO BUTTON? ARE THERE PREDOMINANTLY DIALS OR BUTTONS ON YOUR MICROWAVES? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW. 

[gothfirefaerie]

@ozhawkauthor @determamfidd please help my Aussie friends, is the potato button a thing?

[determamfidd]

@gothfirefaerie - not really??? I have one, but I have never used it. And this is is the first microwave I’ve ever owned that even has the potato button. I don’t know anyone who uses it at all. 

Most folks here seem to use the oven, or make mashed potatoes by boiling + mashing. I could be wrong, but I’ve never seen anyone use that button ever. 

fellow Aussies @bubbysbub, @thudworm, @morvidra and @dragonmad - do you use this potato button??? Or am I just surrounded by sad potato-button unbelievers?

[andthosearesmalleragents]

I had to get up and check but it turns out we do have potato buttons in Australia, there’s one on my very own microwave, and if I seem a bit bewildered to you it’s because I didn’t even realise my microwave had preset buttons, let alone one that says “Potato”. I have never heard of anyone using the preset buttons in my 21 years in this country.
