    My parents told me, “be careful the heating elements catch fire, there’s little to no safety mechanism, you can’t leave them alone!”

    It’s a kettle…

    People either don’t know they exist or have some weird thing with them. Gives me the same vibes as cultures that don’t sleep with the fans on lol.

      Not sleeping with the fan on is a way to save face, at least in Asian cultures. In which it’s basically the families out to admit their loved one committed suicide.

      They say if you have a fan on in the night and the door closes, it creates a vortex and somehow sucks out all the oxygen.
