Has he explained why?

He said so it's ready when he makes his coffee in the morning lol

Think it's just habit.

His kettle must retain heat extremely well. Does he know you can get Bluetooth kettles now so you can sit in bed and get it to boil

In a similar non physics approach my dad would always park in the driveway. It was the top of a downward hill so he’d reverse back slightly every night before finally parking “so if it rolls it will roll backwards”

Whenever I hear someone say "something good" I say to myself in my head, "something good and crunchy to eat" which is said by the mushroom character in the 1995 PC game Mr Potato Head Saves Veggie Valley

Whenever I hear the phrase "for the time being," I imagine a tiny green alien, a friendly one, who travels through time. The Time Being. I have done this ever since I was a child and can't stop.

Oh boy, I can't believe I just admitted that.

My late FIL wouldn’t leave his car in Park (even in his garage ) because he said if another car ran into it the transmission would be damaged.

We thought skynet and AI would end us.

This is the beginning of the end.

Whenever I hear the word mustard, I think "Whoa. I had mustard?!?!" In Otto's voice from the Simpsons.

What a waste of electricity.

My new washing machine can apparently connect to Wifi.

A cannot think of a single useful scenario, so bad luck washing machine. No browsing pr0n when you're not busy!

Been following this random bloke on TikTok, he's maybe 23-24. He goes on Live and gets 5-10 viewers - he's no big deal.

Every time he goes on Live, I drop a vaguely threatening comment like "come outside", "do you like me", and occasionally something like "I will K*LL you with a hammer". Then I gift him a couple of roses.

I am sure it costs next to nothing.

Ive done that with people i only hear on radio from time to time to see how wrong the image of them i had in my head was

Now that I have the solar battery and app I can confirm that a kettle is a massive power user ….. but only for the 90 odd seconds it’s on for.

Are fluorescent lights more or less expensive to have on than other bulbs?
