I really enjoy this joke,

"Wow, my laptop is a really expensive clipboard today"

"My monitor is a really expensive webcam stand"

"My phone is a really expensive alarm clock"

It's never not funny to me

Tesla: Really bloody expensive outside thermometer.

(Via the app climate page, my Model 3 is in an detached-adjacent garage where zero attempt was made to insulate the gaps)

I have a HomePod that serves a similar purpose inside of the house.
