Amazon dash button 16:11 - Sep 10 with 951 viewsStokieBlue

So I was taking a look at the turmeric tea recommended by connor on the drinks thread and this thing came up on Amazon:

Has there ever been a more pointless invention?

No. Absolutely ridiculous. Especially as you could do the same by voice if you had an Alexa device, or on your phone/tablet quick enough anyway.

Not pointless for Amazon.

Great idea for elderly people in certain cases. For most other people it's just pure laziness.

Aside from it being very creepy, not sure many people have a go-to brand for most things? Personally, I like to try different products (like the coffee button) and in some cases just don't care (washing up liquid, washing powder). Some buttons, like the condom button, would be used once every decade so there's no point.

This may be a stopgap before more intelligent IoT systems become commonplace. Although your fridge ordering milk for you is, again, creepy and one of the least exciting things about IoT.

But you have to have different buttons for each item. Alexa makes it redundant, except in the case of people with speech disabilities, of course.

I'd probably forget I'd pushed it and over the course of a day order seven times as many of the product than I needed.

So, isn't that the answer here? Just buy in bulk. Some of us have been stockpiling since Y2K. Then it was 2012, now it's bloody Brexit.

Is that how you ended up with 15,000 Durex in your lock up?

You're planning on having a fun apocalypse.

Us Catholics play a dangerous game, my friend ;)

And one day my luck's gonna run out.
