   Searching online for noodle machines, discovered that Noodle Machine would be a great name for either

   a) a band
   b) a pop-up eatery
   c) an AI startup

     @natecull ok I'm gonna disagree here because pasta dough is a completely different consistency to soft noodles that can be extruded like that. pasta dough is rolled, and the machine you show is a roller & slicer, that's why it's bigger.

     This difference probably tells us something

     which is that Europeans or Americans are all people for whom "making your own pasta" is a big flashy thing that you need a big flashy DOOM MACHINE to take up half of your kitchen to signal that you are an Extremely Serious Cook who you should not pick a fight with on World Kitchen Wrestling

     while Asians are people for whom noodles are comfort food that you want to get the making process over with as fast and simply as possible so you can eat noodles
