No, I’m not KukriKhan, I just saw this thread while surfing the internet. Sorry to bump this thread but I had an interest to join, I love kitchen and appliances tips and I can’t resist not to participate here.

These bots are getting smarter all the time. Don't worry guys, I got this.

The next sentence is false.
The preceding statement is true.

Eeeerm, if jessica is a bot, she's a sophisticated one and I'd prepare to protect John Connor.

Also the Convection function of my microwave oven doesn't work properly anymore, it doesn't get anywhere near the temperatures I set and may make weird noises when used.
The actual microwaving works fine though.

My mum and dad have had theirs since 1988, and it still works

Things are not build to last anymore. I just had a conversation about this with my mother. Not too long ago, people would have their vacuum cleaners, their televisions, even VCR's repaired when they broke down. Nowadays, fifty euros will simpy buy you a new one. They have become disposable goods. Nothing in a house is meant to last for more than three years anymore.

I have this guitar amplifier, a Marshall with tubes. It's from the 1970's. Huge too, as big as a car. The thing never breaks down. I've got a clock that's over a century old. Furniture that's even older. Pre-war kitchen utensils. All working perfectly.
And then all this new

that breaks down within months.

Watch this and weep Louis

we seem to manage to get 4/5 yrs out of our Microwave maybe bit more

As a one time "instagib master", I'd say that a good proportion of these spammers are not bots at all. Most are human spammers, almost always based in one of a handful of countries, that actually sit on the net all day doing this kind of thing. They usually get paid per click. So if you clicked their link(s)...

Bots are much easier to spot, most post incoherent gibberish with their links strewn in between or copy and paste random stuff from other sites/boards.
