I've been browsing Tulu's (the rental kiosk in the tweet) website. The only real tool it rents out is a power drill, which is probably all a big-city pod person needs to assemble their IKEA furniture. Everything else they can bitch at their landlord to fix.
The real question is why would you rent a waffle maker or an air fryer? How clean is it going to be when it's your turn?
A scam. "You fuck it up, you own it," likely at twice the original cost. It's like a version of "rent-to-own" which of course is designed to fuck over poor people by charging them double the price for furniture and appliances if anyone decides to rent something for the full term.

Renting cooking utensils? That's fucking disgusting lol

Walmart sells air fryers for like 20 bucks. These people cannot function on store brands though.
