    Didn't Sony master this technology back in 2007?

    The kittens back then would start screaming dark truths and crushing criticisms about you as a person eventually.

    Yea had to look at that Tortilla Kickstarter, while the device is quite nice looking it has a big foot print and as you said is a unitasker Oh.. and its one Tortilla per pod, that right there is just mind bogglingly wasteful.

    Get a nice Kitchen Aid Mixer and learn how to do it yourself, making Tortilla isn't hard, shit you don't even need a mixer use your goddamn hands.

    Now if this was a Naan Bread machine that spit out garlic naan every minute.. then I would be reaching for my wallet. Then I would wear a suit of Naan and a dapper naan hat that I would tip, then dip in a nice lamb vindaloo and eat the brim.

    We're one step closer to the cool microwave from Fifth Element that Leeloo uses to make entire roast chicken dinners from a pellet.

    Surely it would be "Mewrig"?

    They ran into copyright problems when they wanted to do a device that could make *two* cats at a time. Apparently "Mewtwo" is already taken.

    Some years ago, I made the prediction that the biotech company which manages to make a kitten which stays a kitten for its entire life, and never grows into an adult cat, will make a friggin' mint.
    (This is already one aspect of domestication, but I mean literally.)

    Until the third panel, I thought the Meowrig cooked cats, just like the last one cooked a tortilla.

    Big distinction.

    I love my cats, but not this much.
    Hands and regular brushes work fine.

    If you're going to jump to a racist joke you should endeavour to make it more interesting than that one.

    Implying that Chinese restaurants/cuisine serves cat?

    Yes. Yes it is (as the dish in question is typically made from chicken).

    The (dumb) joke is that "ha ha, the meat you get at most chinese restaurants sure looks questionable, maybe it's cat!". That's how I've always understood the joke to be implied, anyways. If there's an offensive stereotype about Chinese folks eating cats, I've never heard it. Anywhoo, racism was not my intention so apologies if I upset anyone.

    Also, General Tso's chicken is American cuisine if anything. That aint authentic Chinese :P

    The cat pods will be cheap, it's the MSG and Five Spice "FlavorBlasters!" where they make the real money.

    The only way to improve that joke is to delete it.

    Yeah, that's definitely in the racist jokes playbook. People will generally assume you're doing an "Asian people eat cats" bit. I can understand if you haven't heard it, a lot of these types of things pass people by. I didn't know that "boy" can be racist in the US, for instance. Don't worry too much about it, I'm sure no one holds it against you.

    Cat-meat is eaten in various parts of the world, yes. But I don't think it's ever been as popular as dog. General Tso is chicken, though.

    A chicken? How dare you. General Tso spoke at my graduation, he is a national hero.

    SCENE: Three college students are picking through the remains of a takeout Chinese feast, with empty cartons, fortune cookie slips, etc scattered around the coffee table. The doorbell rings, and one of them gets up to answer it.

    Standing on the doorstep is a giant of a man, dressed in elaborately gilded, tasseled and lacquered medieval Chinese armor. "I am the great and illustrious General Tso," he declares in a voice like distant thunder. "I have come... for my chicken."

    The hapless bro at the door looks back over his shoulder, then offers a shrug and a weak, "We, uh, ate it all."

    The General frowns, bushy brows drawing together. His hand goes to the hilt of the very large dao sheathed at his belt.

    "Unfortunate."
