In talking about functionality, Trine brings up a scene in The Little Mermaid where Ariel shows various objects to Scuttle, who “just makes shit up” about them. “She has this fork and he’s like, ‘Oh it’s a dinglehopper!’ It’s total bullshit and it’s perfect. Who says you can’t use a fork to comb your hair? The information embedded in a fork could suggest ‘comb your hair.’ You can know or not know anything about it and if it’s a utilitarian object, it still works. With a chair, if you have to explain to someone that they can sit on it, that chair is betraying its chairness.”
