To save you doing the conversion, that's 36.3kg.

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Thanks, now could you convert that to American Standard lbs? /s

[-] guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip 55 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That’s about the weight of four, 20 lb bags of 9mm ammo

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Ah! Finally a metric I can understand!

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago

Still need it converted to freight trains, football fields and big macs

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 week ago

Wait I can't count that high can we visualize it with how many schools you can shoot up with those?

The app for this thing sucks tho

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 18 points 1 week ago

It will be unsupported in 6 months too.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Damn, they're gonna brick my block just like that?

[-] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 10 points 1 week ago

Don’t brick my brick bro

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

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

Awesome I was looking for a wedding gift

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 19 points 1 week ago

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.

Steel?

When is someone gonna innovate, and develop the tech to do this with TUNGSTEN?

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

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)!

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

tbf it doesn't say it's a solid block

[-] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I love how which devices get countertop space is a real reflection on culture around the world.

Here in the UK you can always find an electric kettle, without question. In Italy a Moka pot. In Japan a rice cooker.

It says a lot about what's important to people.

It's only really in the US that you see such a proliferation of hyper-specific gadgets. Smoothie maker, waffle maker, electric egg poacher, vegetable spiralizer...

I don't know if that says anything about American culture, or just that you guys have really big kitchens.

[-] cattywampas@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I've never seen any of those with permanent counter space in any American kitchen. I've never even heard of an electric egg poacher.

[-] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I chose intentionally obscure and wacky gadgets to overstate the point. I don't genuinely think everyone has these :)

The volume and depth of modern Japanese kitchen gadgetry puts America to shame.

Japan records centuries of history with specialized tools for making ceremonial beverages and foods.

So to your point: I think kitchen gadgets speak to highly consumerist cultures.

[-] prole 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Isn't a "smoothie maker" just a blender? I dunno if I would consider it one-use. More uses than a rice cooker or electric kettle

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They make ones specifically marketed as smoothie makers, which are usually smaller than a regular blender and intended to make about 16-24oz.

[-] homes@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago

We often do have really big kitchens, but it’s more about us being sold the idea of having whatever we want, whenever we want it, and there’s a gadget for that.

Although, I will say, in most American kitchens I’ve seen have, at least, a toaster oven. Possibly an air fryer. Those both are pretty common here.

[-] cattywampas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Our KitchenAid air fryer gets a permanent spot because it also functions as a toaster/toaster oven, proofer, dehydrator, and food/plate warmer.

[-] null@lemmy.org 13 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but what attachments does it have?

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 10 points 1 week ago
[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

None. Though you can get another one that is almost, but not quite entirely the same as it to take up more space.

Description says it support anything compatible with: Rhombus 1.0, Rhombus 2.0, OpenRhombus, Ikea Sküåir, K-Cube, and all KitchenAid Surfaces v.12 or greater. But no support for anything that requires a flat squared level surface.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So, how much does it cost?

Always about 30% more than you're expecting.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 5 points 1 week ago

It's 80 quid, innit?

[-] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Introducing the single use monstrosity! Used for shaving strawberries for one part of one dish!

That's how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago
[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 21 points 1 week ago

Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won't match.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, but first you have to carry it through 19 puzzle chambers to test if you are qualified for cube ownership.

[-] mx_smith@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago
[-] cmhe@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

No, but it can crush it.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago

At least you can stick kitchen magnets to it.

Narrator: You can't.

[-] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah I think my wife bought this already

[-] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

The key is the attachments. The pasta maker is decent, the grinder is great. Honestly, while I don’t use it weekly I certainly use it monthly.

Hmm.... something about it, that's uh-...

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Should be aluminum, way better at taking up space for its weight

36kg for those of you who aren't using imperialist (fascist) units of measurement.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I feel so sad for all the Kitchenaid mixers out there gathering dust because someone got it as a wedding gift and doesn’t cook.

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

But does it have AI?
