There is no clear way to get the toast out without using a conductive implement like a fork or your finger.

We've been to the Moon ffs

see: 1920's "Sweetheart Toaster"

If i remember correctly, this is a gimmick so you can have a romantic toast breakfast where it releases your toast at the same time (British culture, eh?).

But when I heard about it, i instead honed in on how its design provides a FABULOUS solution to getting ALL-CRUmBED-oUT, which is recurring the problem you identify in your post. See, since the sweetheart toaster suspends the toast in the air and heats on one side at a time (a more elegant solution, I may add), it doesn't trap any debris of any sort into any part of of the device at any time - Try saying that with a mouthful of jammy bread!

This particular toaster design is from 106 years ago I think.

That sounds like it was written by a LLM AI. Why do you, and other people love depending on them? It is inaccurate, and bad.

I saw somewhere that the brain has a really hard time distinguishing abundance and oppression. Because thinking is hard, having a robot spew garbage into your eye sockets is somehow more comforting to the majority of people. Including those in this very thread!

I grew up before wiki, and google. It isn't hard to research stuff without ai, imo.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Which bit of it? The screenshot is googles AI, yes, which comes up when you Google things. Everyone is way too familiar with it to get mad about me using that. The rest of the comment, I.e the text, is all my words.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The first 2 paragraphs sound like ai. I also don't use Google AI, I ignore it.

That's great pal

How do you not see the parallels between this and substance abuse? "Don't worry guys, I haven't completely slopped myself. I only slopped a little bit. And everyone else is slopping themselves"
