A toothpaste dispenser. It attaches to the wall, you put the toothpaste tube in the top and then push your toothbrush against a button below and it squirts out toothpaste. It’s basically a bunch of useless plastic and toothpaste makes a big mess all over it anyway. Why can’t you just squeeze the tube yourself? It’s ridiculous.

i disagree, social media can be extremely usefull if used in moderation and can provide an understanding of other people and their lives which would not be possible otherwise, especially since most people dont have the money to travel.

Did I understand that correctly - a scramble-thingy to mush up white & yolk, while it stays inside the shell? ... just to crash the shell for your scrambled egg? Or stays the scrambled egg inside it's shell to be cooked?

Or don't! The graphite particles can (and did) cause mayhem if they get into the electronics. Which is why no space agency uses pencils in space anymore.
