Google Home
- You’re looking at Google’s voice-assisted smart home assistant thing (i.e. Google’s version of the Amazon Echo)
- It can set timers, update your calendar, play music, and keep you company on those long winter nights
- Oh, and you can order stuff from Walmart thanks to their hot new collab
- If you’d like to learn everything it can do, as well as the pros and cons, we recommend this Wirecutter article
- It integrates with other smart home systems like Nest, Philips Huge, Belkin, and a bunch of others
- Model: GA3A00417A14 (“Hey Google, can you make a model number that doesn’t look like the vomited-up carcass of a GUID?”)
Smart Ommmm
Unless you’re reading this soon after midnight ET or our sales projections are off, this Google Home has probably sold out. We’ve offered it at this price before, and it flew off the proverbial shelf like proverbial flapjacks, so we expect the same result today. (Though basing future estimates on past data is always fraught.)
Which raises the question: What should you do with your time on our website today?
You could read this entire product description, but (spoiler alert!) you’ll wish you had those 3 minutes of your life back. You could go vote in the poll down near the bottom of the page, but that too will likely fail to bring meaning to your life. Ditto the video over to the right (or down below if you’re on mobile) — sorry, @matthew.
You can check the forum to see what kind of disturbing, compelling, or disturbingly compelling topics are making the rounds. You can even ask your own questions like “Why are all you people here and what is happening?” Expect to have your questions answered every which way but straightforwardly.
If you came here from another deals aggregating site and found this Google Home sold out, may we humbly suggest you sign up for an account? We hate to sound like salespeople, but probably 98% of the people who successfully bought one of these already had a Meh.com account. And we’ll probably sell them again.
Oh right, you can click the “Meh” button. That’s a thing. Or peruse the sales stats map to see which states purchased these the most per capita. That should occupy your brain for about 15 seconds.
But if recent research on happiness and well-being is to be believed, one of the best things you can do now that you’re here is nothing. Or, almost nothing. You could use the next 5 minutes for a brief session of mindfulness meditation in which you’ll close your eyes and focus on your breath. If you’ve never practiced mindfulness meditation that likely sounds absurdly easy — and absurdly pointless. But it’s really hard! And loads of studies have demonstrated its effectiveness at lowering stress and increasing health and well-being.
We hate to get all woo-woo as much as we hate pushing you to sign up for an account, so take our meditation admonition with a grain of salt. Now focus on that grain of salt. Imagine how it feels in your hand. How it would taste on your tongue…
Whoops, sorry. Got carried away there. You should just click the dumb Meh button and call it a day.
