In the United Kingdom, a phenomenon known as "TV pickup" occurs when large numbers of viewers simultaneously switch on electric kettles during television program breaks, causing significant surges in national power demand.

Hey does anyone know where I can buy one of those pretty glass kettles I keep seeing Chinese people use on Xiaohongshu? They look really cool and I know they’re better for you to use than plastic or stainless steel and I’d love to try using them for some of the tea recipes I’ve also seen on there

Ok im gonna be honest. I don't think it's social media.

It's tiktok. It's purely tiktok.

Like, even the comments they show you is algorithmically defined.

So I'd say its more the hyper-attention-maxing-optimized echo-chamber type of algorithms like you see on tik-tok.

Its no longer bubbles or echo chambers, what tiktok creates are kettles.

If you are a somebody who has been emotionally (or seriously) hurt by the other gender, No matter how minor, you will eventually start to see polarizing content. Deliberately misrepresenting statistics or over focusing on extreme examples of harm or hate from the other side.

Because access to both post and comment content is so restricted by the algo, the type of person who might challenge the narrative or redirect away from the manipulative parts doesn't see the videos, and if they do, they don't see the comments agreeing with it, or adding on to it.

Misinformation goes unchallenged, posts about how x% of girls think this or x% of boys think that or z thing is gonna lead to ab outcome will appear to only have people agreeing with the post in the comments for people who are primed to agree with it, and only have people disagreeing with the post in the comments for people who know better, and neither side knows the other point of view exists until they are faced with the outcome of that polarization in real life.

What is your favourite kind of kettle?

Generic is fun but electric is more efficient.

In terms of kettle summoning though, metal kettles make a fun donk noise when they hit people.

Advanced kettle analysis

I have to say, I can't quite look at kettles the same way after *that scene* in David Blaize, but I have been thinking about the whole scene at Ralph and Bunny's place in a new light.

Ralph is meant to be 'living with' Bunny in some form. I know that Laurie has this idea that they starting out sharing a room and then Ralph moved up to the attic, but I can't quite see how two men would have respectably shared a 'room' as long-term residents in England at that time, assuming the 'room' only had one bed. But still, something did strike me about Ralph retrieving a kettle from the back of his cupboard, and digging out some very old tea. The immediate effect is to make it clear that Ralph is not a regular 'tea-drinker'. But, he supposedly lives with a tea-addict. So does Bunny have his own kettle that Ralph is not allowed to use? Or.....that Ralph for some reason doesn't want to use Bunny's kettle! Because he knows it is not an innocent cup of tea? That says a lot to me 🤔

So when Bunny says 'I should think that old kettle of yours must be boiling madly', is there a hint of annoyance that Ralph has used his 'own' kettle? I wonder if Bunny is actually irritated by that? And when Ralph declares Bunny the 'tea expert' it's only just occurred to me that could be a reference to fagging (as per Public school). Laurie thinks Ralph has never used the straight look, and we can safely assume Bunny has never 'fagged' for Ralph. I mean, he is the 'teacher' after all!

Makes me wonder what this 'arrangement' actually was. Bunny seems to have lived there longer than he and Ralph were together.....although of course we don't know exactly how long they were 'together' for 👀 whatever that means......

Thoughts please!!!

Does this kettle infringe this design patent? That’s one of the claims in this recently-filed complaint.
