The best part about this is it’s an ad for Pluribus where, without spoiling anything, a message like that on a fridge would absolutely work in the show.

I'm ready to move to a commune. But like.... not a hippie Luddite commune that shirks all technology. Just one that isn't fucking insane about the tech in their lives. basically one that rewinds a bit back towards maybe the early to mid 2000s. Where we had a of the tech in a still mostly uncorrupted form.
Its like "the village" for people who are utterly exhausted by corporate greed. Someone get M. Night Shammalamma or whatever on the phone.
An interesting, to me, aside: The luddites were not, as is commonly taught, anti-technology. They were protesting against the consolidation of money/power that technology was making possible. We don't want to teach class warfare though.

I work in tech, and literally have had this conversation multiple times with my other friends that work in tech. We are all completely exhausted.

Thank god fridges have ads now. I have been so unhappy not knowing what to purchase every day of my life. Now my fridge can tell me all the things I should purchase to fill up my home and go so deep into debt that I will be homeless. Thanks Samsung, I was too stupid to do this without you. . . . /s

On what, the fucking fridge?
What is the purpose of a screen on a fridge? Is this common (without the ads)?
If not, how would you not notice when you buy it. You'd need to be utterly oblivious.
Maybe they just have unnecessarily contrived fridges where this person is.
Usually like the weather, todo lists, shopping lists, calendar... Like daily routine planning. Some have music or photos.
This all coming from a non fancy fridge owner.
