It annoys me it doesn’t say the toaster
They were writing it in cave man so the target audience would understand.
Why use many word when few word do trick.
But that would be “Don’t cook Chicken in Toaster!”
No cook bird in hot thing
Just out of spite, I reckon I’m gonna start archiving your page :D
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
How the hell am I supposed to make my quasedilla on the ISS then?!
Duh, space walk with it and point it at the sun. That’s just common sense.
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?
There’s a thousand things that can destroy your house if you use them wrong. Leave the stove on, turn the gas on without lighting it, store loaded firearms in the oven, extension cord trees, breaker bypasses, tinker with any utility, any number of cleaning products, cars in general, water leaks, just leaving the water running, space heaters, portable generators, shorting the terminals on a battery, the list goes on.
And preventing the use of the toaster sideways won’t fix the problem anyway. People will still cram extra stuff in there, and overcooked toast can catch on fire without much provocation. Even just forgetting to clean the crumb tray can cause a fire. Trying to foolproof a toaster just gets you an incredibly expensive device that rarely works.
🙄 serving drama
Dude what the fuck are you on about. Plenty of products have safety measures in place because we have federal systems to regulars them.
You can’t just cherry pick one example and then say America bad. What a fucking .ml tier take.
Tired of burning your house down when you want to use your toaster toske something not toast? Introducing the toaster oven. For when you want to toast something besides bread.
Maxim number 50, if it only works in exactly the way the manufacturer intended, it is defective.
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.
Then you get to play the “asbestos flakes or salt?” game. Fun for the whole family!
That said, eating asbestos flakes isn’t the most dangerous thing. Plastic partially burning close to your food, but too slowly for you to notice seems way worse… And there are many fire retardants that are safer to handle in a factory but that will give you a really bad time if you eat them.
Fire “removedants?” You mean fire removedants? How about artardents? I suppose one could argue that the automatic censorship of your word is a form of dysfunctional regulation.
Does ML censors parts of words now?
There’s all sorts of inappropriate ways to use a toaster where the failure mode is fire. Making toast in bed, under the covers? Catch fire. In a puddle of gasoline? Catch fire. Seriously, WTC toasters?
I’m pretty sure that was a famous internet prank.
Or an average Reddit post.
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.
Reminds me of the time I was rear ended and the guy told me it was because he was playing candy crush.
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.
Insurance fraud.
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.
I didn’t say it was a good idea.
it was an ideia nonetheless
At best… You’ll melt the plastic sides of your toaster AND make a fine quesadilla.
Win in my book.
at worse you’ll burn your
housedorm down.Why would your toaster have plastic?
The sides of my, and most budget modern toasters are made of plastic
This is 100% bullshit. My mom lit the toaster on fire doing this with pizza
They said 90%, your mom was just part of the lucky 10%!
My partner did the same thing… with a quesadilla.
Were the sides of the toaster made of metal or plastic?
Both, I think. Iirc the outside was a plastic shell that clipped to the metal toaster. It caught fire when the overfilled tortilla started dripping cheese onto the heating coil.
I don’t know if I was more upset about the fire, losing a toaster, or not having a succulent quesadilla dinner.
And other 10% of the time you get to watch smokin’ hot firemen
Good for reheating pizza too
Everybody knows that you only put bread or corn dogs in the toaster. 🤦🏻♂️
And hashbrown squares
And waffles.
(Potato waffles)
AND MY AXE
Instruction unclear. Dick stuck in toaster and it all catched fire. What to do now?
I have no idea what a corn dog is. I just hope it is not a living being.
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
Thank you, that was the answer I was waiting for.
“Mail the sysadmin every 5 minutes” looks like an incredibly useful script to know.
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 friedtypo “on” not “in” …
😂 me picturing a hotdog inside the stck.
lol, leaving it
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?
Depends on the breading used. Some are sweet, some are more savory.
Often the batter contains honey, so it is somewhat sweet, yes. You’re missing out if you’ve never had one.
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
In Canada we call them Pogo’s because of those shitty frozen Pogo brand corn dogs. Kinda like how Kleenex is used for tissues.
It’s just a hot dog on a stick dipped in a corn meal batter then deep fried.
A corn dog is technically a ravioli on a stick. Fight me.
At one point it was at least two living beings, but could possibly be more depending on the quality of your dog.
Just get a sandwich toaster.
It browns better in general too and burns less.
The only con being that it doesn’t let the moisture escape well enough (but that depends upon the model).
You can’t flip a sandwich toaster sideways though.
YouI can and it doesn’t burn itself down (at least mine doesn’t).You just need something to hold it that way.
How have people not heard of toaster ovens?
With that said… I don’t have one, maybe I should get one lol
What a snitch
