They were writing it in cave man so the target audience would understand.
Yeah, I set the toaster on fire once also. I had read online that you can make cheese toast in there if you turn the toaster sideways so that the cheese is on top vs gravity. It might have worked if the toaster hadn’t caught fire. I had to throw it out the front door into the yard
I’m actually kind of amazed that the failure mode for “toaster used sideways” is that it just catches fire. That’s one hell of a design flaw.
Is it a design flaw if someone uses the toaster in a way it’s clearly not intended for, and food touches the hot elements and catches fire?
Id say the design flaw is allowing it to function in that position at all. Put a gravity switch in there like space heaters have, so that it it tilts more than a few degrees it shuts off
This is an incredibly American attitude. The appliance clearly has a commonly occurring misuse that puts consumers at risk of burning their neighborhood down.
It would be a trivial addition to put a physical deadman’a switch on the bottom, exactly like what space heaters use.
The role of government and regulation is to serve and protect the people. I cannot believe you are unironically advocating that corporations should just put out whatever dangerous products they want with no repercussions just because there is one specific way to use it “correctly”.
Nevermind the million things that could happen. Cat knocks it over. Disabled or elderly person? Stoned college kid? Child?
I guess it’s all about pErSoNaL rEsPoNsiBilItY when it benefits you, and all about collectivism when it only benefits you huh?
If you didn’t expect a machine that has very hot elements very close to your food to make such food burn if used wrongly, that’s on you.
I agree, but I feel like having the toaster itself catch fire could have been mitigated somehow.
I once got rear-ended by a lady (my car was totaled) who told me two things as we were waiting for the cops that I will never forget:
“I just got my new glasses prescription, but I’m not wearing them today.”
“I wasn’t supposed to be driving my husband’s truck. We don’t have to let the cops know it’s my husband’s truck, right?”
The cops got informed. I got a new car.
I might have kept the second thing to myself depending on why she wasn’t supposed to be driving it. Though, it’s not like she can keep what happened from her husband.
Some insurance won’t insure on certain vehicles unless people within the household sign an affidavit saying they will not be the ones driving it, usually based on their previous history. Seeing as she didn’t want the cops to know, I’d guess it’s something along those lines.
Fun fact, if you turn a toaster sideways you can use them to make quesadillas.
This works about 90% of the time.
Do not do this. Toasters are not made to be used sideways. At best you’ll melt the probably plastic sides of your toaster, at worse you’ll burn your house down.
This is 100% bullshit. My mom lit the toaster on fire doing this with pizza
Everybody knows that you only put bread or corn dogs in the toaster. 🤦🏻♂️
Others have covered the definition of a corn dog.
A “cron dog” however, is when you use cron to schedule a dog command, which is an updated version of the cat command installed via the moreutils package that provides additional features such as colorized output and line numbering, making it more versatile.
THIS HAS BEEN A DUMB LINUX FACT
This is not quite true
A) A dog with a single horn
B) A burrowing mammal native to Iowa
C) A hot dog in a stick dipped in corn bread batter and fried
It’s sausage coated with some material made of corn.
Every time I see people talking about them on the web I wonder what it tastes like. Is it sweet?
It is a hotdog inside of a cornbread shell, often served on a wooden stick. It is commonly a kids food though lately I’ve seen some restaurants make fancier versions https://goldbelly.imgix.net/uploads/showcase_media_asset/image/164647/Original.png?ixlib=react-9.0.2&auto=format&ar=1%3A1&w=1246
