Hmmm tungsten. I learnt fro Scrooge McDuck that tungsten has a remarkable value per weight, no joke, and i am paying attention.
You learned that from Duck Tales? That same rich duck only lied to me that it would be possible to dive into a pile of gold coins like water.
Not big enough needs to cover the whole counter.
The app for this thing sucks tho
It will be unsupported in 6 months too.
You just know it would have a subscription and always online requirement
If at any point, one is not met, it just phases out of existence
That’s how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.
Should be aluminum, way better at taking up space for its weight
That’d make it too easy to lift off the counter though!
Can I get it in red?
Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won’t match.
Yes, but first you have to carry it through 19 puzzle chambers to test if you are qualified for cube ownership.
But I already have an air fryer 😔
36kg for those of you who aren’t using imperialist (fascist) units of measurement.
That looks like more than 80 pounds. Well, maybe it’s hollow.
It’s 89.99 GBP.
Free shipping though.
Cool! Does it have AI? Also I want it to connect to a phone app, do not bring me an actual program, or a website (I don’t understand what’s a “browser”, is it Google?), bring me an app! I’m fine with a subscription model, or if the cube starts leaking ooze onto the counter without it. It’s also fine if the cube is expected to leak ooze two years from now, because some server thingamajig is gone.
/s obviously.
I hope it doesn’t require a subscription or internet access
The old version didn’t and some retailers still sell that.
We have found customers prefer the experience with the app! It is just the the experience without the app, but more modern. iOS only for now, but an Android version is expected soon!ios version for the steel cube experience requires liquid glass
I can’t decide if I want to upvote for causing the visceral reaction to this comment, or down vote for the same.
I’ve been experiencing this dilemma a lot lately and I think we need a word for it.
Its not original but “appnauseum” comes to mind…
Does it make ice?
No, but it can crush it.
To save you doing the conversion, that’s 36.3kg.
I guess it’s partially hollow
What is that? Like 100 Budweiser’s?
Works out to about .56 Taylor Swifts.
Thanks, now could you convert that to American Standard lbs? /s
That’s about the weight of four, 20 lb bags of 9mm ammo
Wait I can’t count that high can we visualize it with how many schools you can shoot up with those?
Ah! Finally a metric I can understand!
Steel?
When is someone gonna innovate, and develop the tech to do this with TUNGSTEN?
With a weight constraint of 80lb, a stainless steel block wouldn’t do a very good job of taking up space (the express purpose of the item) because it would only be 6.5 inches (16.5mm) to a side
Tungsten would do an even worse job! The sides would only be 4 inches (10cm)!
tbf it doesn’t say it’s a solid block
80 pound only? At that size? What, is it filled with sand?
Probably cheaper than solid steel, enshittification strikes again
Solid stainless steel at that weight would be roughly 17 cm per side (assuming a cube), depending on the exact alloy.
There’s no perfect reference scale, but the diagonal width of the cube is 60% the width of the drawer (by pixels). My kitchen drawer measures 40.5 cm, so the cube is some 24.5 cm across diagonally. A 17 cm cube would be just over 24 cm. I did a lot of rounding at every step, but it seems to check out pretty darn well.
Deceptive marketing. The 80 lb model is the budget model, but the picture shows the much fancier 300 lb model.
Yeah, they switched production methods in the 90s to save on manufacturing costs.
Back in the 70s they were made from solid steel
