L’appel du vide, literally “the call of the void”, is a French phrase
used to refer to intrusive thoughts or the urge to engage in
self-destructive behavior during everyday life.[1]

Most commonly reported examples include thinking
about swerving into oncoming traffic while driving,
or feeling the urge to jump off a cliff’s edge while
overlooking one.

    I am thankful for the safety feature where locking the lid also depresses a button that allows the food processor to operate, but I also keep it unplugged when the lid is off for an extra layer of redundancy.

      I dont really put my hands close to the blades when it’s unplugged either. One could have a brain fart and think it’s unplugged.
      Paranoid? Yes. Farted? Often. Brain? MIA
