But can it toast a Jesus on the bread?

And it's still worse than this toaster from the 60s.

My favorite method is to slather it with softened butter and do it on a pan

If I’m feeling extra slutty I’ll use bacon grease

In fact, hold the bread.

That reminds me, I got a tip once to use butter as coffee creamer. I didn't enjoy it, so I decided to try bacon grease to see if it would make it worse.

It did.

Why does a toaster need to know what day it is??

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 6 points 19 hours ago

Because Sunday nights I prefer my toast one tiny bit ligther. Tsk...obviously.

So you can set it to automatic toast your toast in the morning so it’s warm when you wake up but you wake up at different times on workdays vs weekends

Automatic coffee, I understand despite it making worse coffee. Automatic toast? I'm having a hard time imagining... Actually nevermind, there are all kinds of people.

"When you just want to toast your bread but you decided to buy a smart toaster for absolutely no good reason."

Far less annoying and much more useful.

Well if talky toaster taught me anything I'm going to need a 14 lb lump hammer.
