I guess my thermos is cringe now. God damnit.

I'm going to go back to carrying those big orange water jugs around. They worked my whole childhood, they'll work now.

I on the other hand, will be showing off my Zoujirushi Mahoubin to everyone like it's the hottest new thing.

I miss my zoji fuzzy logic cooker. Wedding gift. It broke several years ago. I've been cooking rice in a pot since then, like some kind of animal

I will never buy a rice cooker since I am completely happy with rice made in a pot, be it for sushi or anything else. Is there really such a difference? I don't really notice a difference between my rice and that in restaurants.

I think the most important difference is that you can leave the kitchen and completely forget about it, and it will not burn

I don't own one, but my family did and I used it. What's nice about rice cooker's is you just load them up and the rice will always come out perfect. In addition, some allow you to boil some veggies at the same time. Basically you have a grain and veggie dish prepared with less effort than with pots. If I see a used rice cooker, maybe I'll buy it, but its not a big enough change for me to buy new.

I occasionally overcook it, but that's on me. My MIL thinks I'm crazy tho

Yeah I can’t speak enough about my Zojirushi cup. You can order replacement parts directly from Japan and at a very good price.
