but.....am I the only one who finds it funny that there are appliances available (like Insta-Pots) that have illuminated displays that say "OFF"?

Well, how the hell else are we suppose to know they're off if they don't tell us; you think we're all some sort of super-genius type or something! Pass me a Brawndo, please; it's got electrolytes!

Probably not, but why is that funny? Maybe I'm just dumb...

Clearly no progress has been made regarding this pressing issue that only he seems to be concerned about....

It just struck me as "ha ha funny" one day. I look at this appliance and see an illuminated "OFF" on the display. If the appliance is "off" per se, WHY is there a display that draws power to.....display. Following that thought process, the appliance is not completely "off." Yeah.....too much thought into this, but I'm okay with it.

Because it differentiates between plugged in but powered down vs. forgetting to plug it in and wondering WTF is going on with this device/appliance.

Actually what REALLY drives me crazy is an appliance that doesn't let you know it is ON. A typical example is one of the routers in my house. No lights or indicators.
