Sabbath mode; overrides the oven's shut-off feature, enabling 72 hours of uninterrupted baking.

My fridge has a Black Sabbath mode, in which Ozzy's voice comments on everything you take out of it.

"mmpphh....areya gonna eat those f***in eggs? Mpphhmumblemumbleiscarnmoon man! Whol' on...SHAARRRROOOONNNNN!!!!!!"

just checked wikipedia, they even have "shabbat elevator" it stops on every floor during sabbath, so you don't have to push any buttons.

Why would you need a shabbat elevator? You shouldn't be in the building on the Sabbath...

Apartment building

You shouldn't be leaving your apartment either. If you want to, take the steps. I don't care if you're on the 60th floor. That's your penance to God. Don't like it? Maybe you shouldn't be an orthodox Jew. Go whine to a holocaust survivor about your terrible plight or something.

Warning....The following is a parody...

GE Monogram® Introduces Jihad Mode Refrigerator Kit for the Muslim Consumer

(HUSSEINVILLE, Saudi Arabia). - New technologies in kitchen appliances, such as electrical, digital readouts and automated defrost sensors, have added complexity and challenges to life in the Muslim kitchen. With this in mind, GE is introducing a Jihad Mode Kit for its built-in models of side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerators - to meet the needs of the observant Mohammedan consumer.

When using the Jihad Mode feature, the refrigerator can easily be modified for self destructing tuna salad and flammable olive oil Molotov cocktails. This is all done with discrete power down circuitry and a 17" LCD display on the door that will show the 72 virgins at the opportune time.

The unit is equipped with a pull start backup compressor that will run in the caves of Tora Bora using nothing but camel dung for fuel. In an extreme situation, the lead lined doors and chassis will serve as a fallout shelter.

That's what I thought when I saw the thread title. GE is selling fridges that dispense drugs and howl at the moon? Where can I get one?

 

[Red Squirrel]

LOL that's great. People still do the whole sabbath thing? Even Jesus himself has disobeyed that law. Crazy people.

My samsung stuff has this...

Heh, but to tell the truth, I don't think this is that big of a deal. With just about every appliance today using computers and software it probably took GE a whole 5 minutes to add a "Sabbath" mode to their appliences.

if (date == Sunday) {
DontchangeShit();
}

Somehow I seriously doubt that God, the supposed Creator of Life and the Universe itself, the Shaper of Time and Space, really cares how our refrigerators work. Whatever, I guess...
