"And it tastes faintly of the bacon I made for breakfast."
Nah see they've got one of those fancy dual air dryers in the picture. One side is clearly for food and the other for beverages.
Yeah but you're not supposed to put the cup in with it. You pull the tray out and pour it into one.

Somebody had been considering what could be worse than microwave tea.
There's nothing wrong with microwaving water. It's all just getting water molecules to move faster.
Thats how I make my teas. Boil it in a glass measuring cup, then pour it into a mug with the tea.
TechnologyConnections made a video about it.

microwaving anything is microwaving the water it contains

Americans will do anything other than buy an electric kettle.
Americans who drink hot tea have them (source: have had one for like 20 years).
Americans in general are just more hot coffee cold tea people. Exceptions abound of course, but in generalities.
I drink hot tea and cold coffee lol. I also drink hot coffee though.
We have replaced your American passport with Vietnamese to better accommodate your beverage preferences, please enjoy your new citizenship.

There is literally a kettle on the left lower side of the image (likely deliberately as it seems awkward having it in front of the air fryer like that)
in my experience, it is quite hard to find a place for a kettle that isn’t at least a little awkward
OOP uses centigrade and spells color as "colour"; they're probably not American.

I've heard electric kettles are slower here because of the limits of our electrical system. I do have a kettle for the stove, though. I also rarely drink tea.
Standard outlets in the USA are 120v at 15A (1800W max peak, 1440W max continuous). In comparison, standard UK outlets are 230v at 13A (2990W peak)
This also affects other things. For example, standard electric heaters (resistive heat) can't get as hot in the USA.
Edit: Also, dryers in countries like UK and Australia don't need a special type of outlet.

There's literally the handle of an electric kettle on the left side.
No this is something far worse: someone in the UK whom has strayed from the light and committed heresy!
May the Tea Gods have mercy upon them, for I shall have none!

Okay this is a shitpost, but ffs don't try this. That's a small electric fan-forced oven. There's a nonzero chance the airflow will splash water all over the inside, which is absolutely not liquid proof. Water + electricity == bad.
I see your point. But how the hell is the mug not going to be hot either and you are able to just lift it out?
I mean that's true too, assuming you don't destroy your air fryer first.
Are you sure about the waterproofing? You can usually steam in an oven.
Got an air fryer here with a steamer mode, so that definitely doesn't have moisture-sensitive electronics inside the cooking part!

Really though, so many Americans would have their cooking lives enriched by an electric kettle.
My parents told me, "be careful the heating elements catch fire, there's little to no safety mechanism, you can't leave them alone!"
It's a kettle...
People either don't know they exist or have some weird thing with them. Gives me the same vibes as cultures that don't sleep with the fans on lol.

10 minutes to boil a cup of water? How is that considered good in any way?
it's sarcasm.
Air fryers suck at boiling water. They're basically anti-microwaves. Everything a microwave is good at, they suck at, and vice versa.
Air fryers are for putting a crust on things. Basicly a miniature convection oven
That's because it is basically a convection oven, it just has a basket and a few extra customizations. But, as the video notes, a convection toaster oven is not a suitable replacement for an air fryer in most cases.

Pretty sure that counts as a hate crime against the English
I played a game online with a British person and another American. British guy was talking about tea time or something tea related. I have always heard that the British took their tea VERY seriously, so I decided to test it. I asked him if he heated his water in a microwave. Don't ask the British if they heat their water in a microwave. What followed was a man who was very passionate about tea talk just as passionately about his kettle.

You have just united the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom blind rage. Congratulations.
Boiling a mug of water by blowing hot air on it is going to take a while. My guess is if someone was to try this (which I don't recommend) it's going to take longer than 10-12 minutes.
This is 100% a meme. There's a kettle in the lower left corner of the picture, place awkwardly in front of the second frier drawer. and the cup would be scaldingly hot upon removing it from the air frier.

Least redundant air fryer usage.
This is as dumb as people 'marinating' diet coke by leaving it in the fridge. Can't level with this level of absurdity.
