Assuming that the 80-pound (36.3 kg) stainless steel block is a solid cube, its side length would only be 16.6 cm (6.5 inches). (The density of the most common stainless steel (304) is 7930 kg/m^3.) Not nearly as big as the picture suggests. Still, it seems like it would be an awesome addition to my kitchen.

Considering the downward trend of quality in home appliances, it makes even more sense that it's not even solid metal.

The exact dimensions of an 80-pound stainless steel block would depend on its specific shape. However, we can estimate its size based on the density of stainless steel, which is around 490 lbs per cubic foot (lb/ft³). To find the volume of the block, we can divide its weight (80 lbs) by its density (490 lb/ft³):

Volume = Weight / Density. Volume = 80 lbs / 490 lb/ft³. Volume ≈ 0.16 cubic feet (ft³).

Since we don't have a specific shape for the block, let's assume it's a cube for simplicity. To calculate the side length of a cube with a volume of 0.16 ft³, we can take the cube root of the volume:

Side length = ³√Volume.
Side length = ³√0.16 ft³.
Side length ≈ 0.54 ft (or about 6.5 inches).

Therefore, an 80-pound stainless steel block shaped like a cube would have sides measuring around 6.5 inches each.

I just assumed it was hollow

Modern appliances just aren't as good. Check with Goodwill, or yard/estate sales. You can pick up a vintage kitchen cube that works just as well for pennies on the dollar, and it will outlast you.

I literally have uses for this, though. It's worth the space it will take up.

this is fucking hilarious. it's exactly as functional as the gigantic kitchenaid mixer that my housemate INSISTS that it stay on the kitchen counter even though it hasn't been used in 5+ years. apparently for some people it's absolutely imperative that anyone who happens to come to the house MUST be made aware that we have a fucking kitchenaid mixer

Reminds me of the reployer from Prey. Every office has one of these machines but seemingly no one knows what they actually do - not even engineers.

Will buy it if it's made of galvanized square steel

Oh my god do they make it in that 60s sage color?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

They do but it's always sold out

my favorite feature is that it's a smart device—you connect it with your phone via proprietary app and it tells you the temperature of your counter top. Also for a low monthly subscription fee it will also recite the screen play of a random episode of friends in 4 languages simultaneously, none of which are English, Spanish, Arabic, or Mandarin.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Obviously the languages are Estonian, Finnish, Latvian and Lithuanian.

Except for the Finnish + Baltic region, where the languages are actually Tagalog, Swahili, Navajo and the most popular option, x86 assembly for outputting the text of the episode in Haitian Creole. The latter is the most popular because of how insanely fast they have to speak.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I know this one, Estonia is that country next to Italy, right?

Please tell me it scrobbles...

[–] [email protected] 59 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Man I really hope that app requires an active internet connection and a registered account. And it would be real nice if the app wasn't optimized at all and support would end after 3 updates.

I love the live location feature, so that I never lose track of my kitchen cube. You can see where it is and how it's doing even from remote. Always have an eye on my cube when at work.

Love the proprietary app! I spent several months cobbling together a bunch of Docker containers that each apply a bundle of hacks I built through reverse engineering! Now I can control it via Home Assistant but I hope some guy that built one of the Docker images doesn’t disappear in six months when the manufacturer completely wrecks all our work with an API update!

Apple industrial designers would totally buy it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

So would my wife if they came in colors.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Elon would manufacture it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And it would rust, fall apart, and explode.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And it'd require you to solve 20 captchas in order to use it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Honest question: why would you even try to do that nowadays?

Well, there’s your problem.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I bought one of these when they first came out and they're a piece of shit. It stopped working just a little bit after the warranty expired.
