Answer for question 4486.

[Error: unknown template qotd]I think I'm going to have to go with "everything that's attached to the indoor plumbing," if that counts as an appliance. I don't want to live without a toilet, shower, or sink. The washing machine and dishwasher are also useful, but less so than the others.

Also, the heating system. New England can get down to below 0 degrees F, say -20 degrees C, which really needs indoor heating.

What else? This computer right here that I'm typing on is useful.

Did you know that the Oreo cookie is evidence that Nabisco is part of the Templar conspiracy, because the patterns on it are Templar symbols?

The website is, at worst, a very gentle form of crazy, written by and for people who appear to be using their crazy largely to attempt to make themselves into better people. Which is the very best form of crazy, and I wish them all the best of luck. If finding patterns in an Oreo helps a person to become a better version of themselves, then I am completely in favor of it.
