This is great satire, but unfortunately you can replace microwave with AI and CEO's are actually saying this shit fr.

One of my chefs mentioned that if they could cook the steak on the grill they could get it right the first time. This is not an acceptable attitude in the microwave era. Chefs have fragile egos and they all seem to enjoy cooking (???) so it’s obvious they’re just too attached to the food. Also they’re worried I’m planning on firing all of them. That’s true but not relevant here.

Second – you need to realize I’m an idea person. Ok? Who else would have thought about putting pepperoni on a pizza? And if I didn’t have a microwave no one may have delivered that idea at all. With a microwave I was able to deliver that idea much faster. The new economy will be purely idea based. Is the quality of a microwaved pizza worse? Sure. But by 1960 cooking pizzas in ovens will be a thing of the past. I don’t have any evidence to back that up. But any rational person can see in a few short years ovens will be gone.

That's frequently the best satire though where you can do exactly that.

That's... what satire is.

Right?! What an odd comment. "The best satire is good satire." Yeah?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Am I wrong though?

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Bad satire misses the mark a bit, the shoe don't quite fit.

Yes... That's... That's the point here.
