Knife White
The Darker Side Of White Goods
Consider life without household gadgets.
How would your girl wash your clothing?
How would your spouse do the dishes?
How would your sister make your dinner?
And how would the house helper clean your place?
Food for thought , indeed.
Or rather: poverty, starvation and complete naked truth.
All jokes aside, there is a darker side to white goods.
When they go a paler tone of off white and suddenly break down, falter or flat out die, you could well be a Neanderthal in a freezing cavern whacking two pebbles together for a spark of light to fire up some brushwood.
I’d imagine it would be much like existing in a dystopian mixture of the Dark Ages (no lights), the Ice Age (no heating), and the Middle Ages (when you positively don’t care about any other person anymore – except yourself and your daughter’s girlfriends – and go all in and buy a speedboat, move into a studio unit, and get a hair transplant just so that you can now tie someone’s else’s hair into a ponytail).
Because the sum of those ages would certainly have be the textbook definition of polar limbo.
And if your freezer, freezer or AC actually is on the fritz, you might as well beg you were Hot Tub Time Machined all the way back to the Pleistocene Period – because let me tell you, no amount of chemicals, Tupperware or MSG will protect you from the feared ‘Expiry’ date.
Meaning you’ll have to prepare some food to survive. But how are you about to do that without a working stove, cooker or microwave?
I can tell you how. You are going to have to go all neighbourhood Bear Grylls. Quick smart.
If you aren’t prepared to get your home appliances and white goods repaired, you better start picking up some dry leaves and grass, sourcing half a dozen stones, and channeling your inner Scout or Girl Scout.
Because without a working kitchen and washing machine, you may as well set up a bivouac in your bedroom and start an open fire on your terracotta tiles.
It’s just when you realise just how much we depend on household appliances and take for granted straightforward pieces of modern technology that we start to understand a humble cuppa.
Because it would never exist without your kettle.
And the clothing you’re wearing at the moment wouldn’t be clean and pressed (presuming they are so) if they were never washed in a laundry machine, spun in a dryer and ironed on an ironing board with an iron.
So much for moving on from the Iron Age. Or the Bronze Age, or the Stone Age.
Or Middle Age.
