So, there was this TV experiment where they served soup to a well-known scientist*, but, with his agreement, they stirred it first with an unused - and I stress unused - toilet brush.
He couldn't bring himself to eat it.
Metaphorically speaking, our world is full of amazing things but they're all stirred by clean toilet brushes. Sometimes, it's worse than that and they're used.
Do not want.
* Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, he was later cancelled for being old and out of touch on women's issues among other things, which is kind of an example of this same trope when you think about it. His opinions and reactions on soup and food disgust aren't linked to any of that but you might be tempted to ignore the result because of it.
But then, that puts him in the same category as Louis CK and that's what I'm responding to. Food for thought.

I mean yes, but also no. I get the point and it’s a good one, but sounds a bit like people just shouldn’t complain because 200 years ago refrigerators didn’t exist.
