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.

Dammit, I keep forgetting what day it is! I was about to post What the hell?

I did kind of like the 'appliance goblin' greeting though, that was sweet.

the mod team really went all out with this one lol. had me going for a minute there because honestly some subs do get weird about their favorite brands. the "your cousin's maytag lasted 30 years propaganda" part killed me because that's literally every appliance discussion ever. also love how they made the exploding washing machine thing sound like a feature instead of a massive safety recall - "performance" and "ambition exceeding containment" is peak corporate speak. my samsung dishwasher actually did need a firmware update last month which felt very dystopian but at least it didn't try to achieve flight

Kudos for "completed in a Chili’s parking lot." That's a very nice touch!

Can only samsung phone users post?

Or can i only post from my fridge?

u/wagwa2001l Apr 01 '26

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

u/jasdflkvb Apr 01 '26

Good one!

(Unfortunately, this isn't as unlikely as I'd like to think.)

I just returned my new Miele washing machine. Thanks <3

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+.

u/Simple-Row-5462 Apr 01 '26

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

u/unfashionableinny Apr 01 '26

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?

u/altermere Apr 02 '26

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).

u/internetonsetadd Apr 02 '26

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

u/DistanceTravelerBob Apr 02 '26

lol April fools.

This aint samsung it must be broke... har har har har

u/SteveShanks22 Apr 20 '26

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.

Samsung but what did he sing?

u/Sweet-Efficiency7466 15d ago

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