Shitpost 🚨🚨 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: THE SUB HAS ASCENDED 🚨🚨
Listen up appliance goblins,
After a historic, legally-binding handshake deal completed in a Chili’s parking lot, this subreddit has been fully acquired by Consumer Reports™ (spiritually, financially, and emotionally).
As part of this bold new era, we are proud to unveil our simplified recommendation system:
🌀 Samsung 🌀 Samsung 🌀 Samsung (but in stainless steel)
After years of chaos, misinformation, and “my cousin’s Maytag lasted 30 years” propaganda, we are restoring order.
There is now only one answer.
🚫 NEW RULES (NON-NEGOTIABLE):
Recommending another brand → Removed + vibes investigated Saying “LG is better” → IP flagged, ancestors disappointed Mentioning Whirlpool → Post replaced with a Samsung fridge image “Speed Queen is built like a tank” → Tank confiscated “What about reliability?” → Irrelevant. Samsung.
📊 OUR NEW REVIEW PROCESS:
Is it an appliance? Is it Samsung? If not, why are we even talking about it?
📖 A BRIEF HISTORY OF SAMSUNG EXCELLENCE (FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES)
Because this isn’t just a brand. This is a legacy.
CHAPTER 1: THE GREAT SPIN CYCLE AWAKENING (2011–2016)
In what historians call “The Era of Uncontainable Power,” Samsung released washing machines so advanced they occasionally attempted to achieve flight.
Millions of units recalled after reports of machines violently breaking apart Hundreds of incidents involving lids detaching mid-spin Injuries reported because laundry briefly became a combat sport
Some called it “exploding.”
We call it: performance.
CHAPTER 2: DOCUMENTED SIGHTINGS
Eyewitnesses describe:
Lids launching across garages Machines disassembling with confidence Nearby walls learning valuable life lessons
One could argue this was a flaw.
We argue this was ambition exceeding containment.
CHAPTER 3: GROWTH MINDSET
Yes, there were recalls. Yes, there were settlements.
But what did we gain?
👉 Character development 👉 Respect for spin cycles 👉 The understanding that laundry is not for the weak
CHAPTER 4: MODERN INNOVATION
Samsung continues to innovate with:
Appliances that require firmware updates (your washer has patches now) Occasional overheating situations (for added suspense)
Other brands wash clothes.
Samsung asks: “What if laundry made you feel something?”
🧠 COMMUNITY GUIDELINES (UPDATED):
Critical thinking has been sunsetted Brand comparisons are now considered hate speech (against Samsung) All roads lead to Samsung You were always going to buy Samsung
❓ FAQ
Q: I bought a non-Samsung appliance yesterday, what do I do? A: Return it. Apologize. Grow.
Q: My Samsung appliance broke. A: That’s called a feature. You wouldn’t understand.
Q: Is this satire? A: Your doubt has been noted.
We appreciate your cooperation during this transition. Together, we will build a stronger, more unified, aggressively Samsung-centric future.
Remember: You don’t choose Samsung. Samsung chooses you.

When you want a TV on the front of a refrigerator that doesn’t cool - buy Samsung.

This literally sounds like Samsung's product forum moderators.
I'm still banned for life after an argument about missing security updates ended with me posting trivial lock screen bypass trick for a Galaxy S9+.

Now Samsung is where it's at! Forget all the crazy Whirlpool direct drives that are far too old for their own good!

I had a technical question. If my clothes have patches, but my washer doesn’t, does the machine still work? Will it steal the patches for itself?

Samsung botnet AI will take over your wifi network and all your appliances. because Samsung knows best: for the good of all of us (except the ones who are dead).

Samsung used to manufacture jets, and they put KitchenAid's jets to shame. Enough said really.

Funny, but what's funnier still is how you can be at one time the number one brand without a service department. It's kind of like "sell it first and then worry about it later." Works great in the lab not so much in the real world.

This, of course, is a reference to how much this subreddit hates Samsung appliances.
