Our new washing machine plays Schubert to herald a completed cycle. I miss the beep to be honest
I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less.
Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

As a retailer of herbal tea I can confirm this is very much a thing 🍵
There are so many huge things to fear and discuss that I've found myself taking refuge in minor complaints, like "I can't find the precise kind of herbal tea that I want," or "These tomatoes are slightly too fibrous." There's something so satisfying about a minor gripe.
