Well they aren’t called Specific Electric, are they?
GE no longer makes appliances. It’s a licensed out name now.
I figure their star finally fell when they stopped making locomotives. What kind of giant industrial conglomerate does that?! EveN Hitachi, a brand mostly known for marital aids, makes locomotives!
I use a lot of Japanese woodworking tools and hearing Hitachi outside of the context of steel production is always so confusing. They make some of the finest steels in the world, to be forged into unparalleled blades by master craftsmen and they also make “marital aids”.
GE, the conglomerate, no longer exists. They sold off most of the divisions and spun off the three remaining into their own business. GE Aerospace is the “corporate successor” but as of 2024, the old General Electric is no more.
Well yeah, their stock cratered in 2008, they recovered a bit, but they had fundamental problems remained and the stock crashed again in 2017 during a market-wide bull run. They had everything to gain, but made tons of terrible choices (they owned NBC and a bank for some reason) and it all came back to haunt them.
The GE that was great last century is no more.
Inside you are two wolves. One is a cheap TV licensed to use your trademark. The other is nuclear weapons.
You are Westinghouse.
Don’t forget air brakes for cars and trains Westinghouse Airbrake aka Wabtec
What in the actual fuck is a toaster oven?
Surprisingly enough it’s an oven for toasting things.
They’re not super common outside North America as far as I can tell, or at least I don’t think I’ve ever seen them here in Yurop (well except in like cafés etc. of course). Don’t really see the point, I can just use my oven to toast things
I use my toaster oven for quick things because it takes less time to heat up than my big oven. It does a good job with things like toast, fries, chicken wings - but it’s too small to cook, say, a pizza
It’s faster to heat up so it’s better for little things
Eh, both can cook off.

Experts in making stuff that spins. Washing machines, autocannons, microwaves…
There was a t-shirt back in the day with the mini-gun on it, the GE logo underneath, and in a circle around it, the logo “We bring good things to life”
I’d wear the fuck out of that shirt
I’m unaware of an ammunition type that can bring things to life
It might look like that if the company looking at it is very, very backwards.
I feel we’re dealing with some sort of Trolley Problem scenario here
I think you’re missing the point of the shirt.
Nah, just making a silly joke about guns usually not bringing things alive
If you just have two toaster ovens, You are Hamilton Beach.
