Our new refrigerator has a really nifty Control Center on the front of the freezer door. It is over the ice and water dispenser.
This is the new, high tech way of controlling a refrigerator, not just a couple of thumb wheels inside the door.
Zooming in on the Control Panel, you can see that it has nifty icons with push buttons to do things like set the temperature and set whether or not you want the ice to be crushed or whole.
But, looking closer, something spooky has shown up recently. Look at the upper right corner of the display.
Our fridge is giving us commands? That is a pretty terse demand! It doesn’t sound like a request to me! I haven’t seen anything like that since Audry said “Feed me!“. Our appliances are giving us orders! Has the takeover by Skynet begun in earnest?
And what are those blood-red drops going into the tank below the demand? It looks like blood to me! Is that a threat? What happens if we don’t “order filter“?
Spooky, hunh?
