Things along the range of:
“Checklist - 1. Ensure that the thing is on.”
I’ve seen stories of people who just don’t get it and need their hands held all the time, so what are things where you kinda feel that things are a bit too “hand-holdy”?

IMHO you didn’t make it sound less mad.
If coffee is made by pouring boiling water over coffee beans grinds, I would expect the temperature of the final product to be scalding hot. I would even go so far as to call it a feature.
Warning: Knives may cause injury. Well, yes, the whole point of them is to be sharp enough to cut something.
I’m glad I live in a less litigious society.
There are food safety standards for a reason. Coffee isn’t supposed to be served at that high of a temperature. McDonald’s intentionally broke the standard by serving coffee hotter than they were legally allowed to.
You prefer living in a place that McDonald’s can internationally, and repeatedly violate safety standards with no recourse? That’s a weird flex.
No of course I wouldn’t prefer living in a place where legal safety standards are ignored or non-existent. But that isn’t what I said either, so I refute your false dilemma argument :)
I don’t know the details of the lawsuit. I was merely commenting that the description of the case from the post I replied to didn’t make it make more sense. Your post did, though, so thank you for that. For what it’s worth in the UK and Denmark, the two countries I know well enough, the temperature of hot drinks don’t have a legal maximum and any liability would fall under “protecting customers from foreseeable harm” broad health and safety regulations.
So the question, at least from a legal perspective is what is foreseeable. Can coffee made with boiling water be foreseen to be scalding?
Certainly in the UK, case law suggest exactly that a hot drink should be foreseen to be scalding and therefore it is not negligent to serve it at scalding temperatures; see Bogle v McDonalds (2002) - https://cms-lawnow.com/en/ealerts/2002/05/recent-case-on-the-supply-of-hot-drinks
So are all the companies that have reason to fear litigation.
