Toasters: a question
Who really designs toasters? I mean they’re fairly simple devices a heating element, a pop up bit, and a dial which controls how much it cooks your bread for.
And it’s the dial which has my puzzled for years now. Usually they go from 1-8.
- Level 1 will lightly toast bread.
- Level 1.5 will produce nicely browned
- Level 2 will burn it
So that’s levels 1-2 covered. So what the hell are the other 6 levels for?
If level 2 turns your bread into charcoal what kind of evil can be waiting out at level 8? I can only speculate my toaster was designed by someone who used to come up with weapons of mass destruction, and I deduce the remaining levels work something like this.
- Level 3 bread goes on fire.
- Level 4 burns down house
- Level 6 the temperature and pressure causes the carbon in the bread to fuse together forming hard diamonds.
- Level 8, the nuclei of the bread atoms are superheated, and fly apart annihilating matter, and causing a nuclear explosion.
