Ummmm… uhhhhh… Toasters!
That’s right toasters are reactionary! Using energy to make your bread crispy, bourgeoise decadence! Really all forms of baking are counter revolutionary, communists should only eat oatmeal!
Okay, fight about it.
Edit: we’ll now that enough people have commented, I want to make a snarky edit bemoaning the fact that anyone here would disagree with me. I’m really let down by this community for not validating ever take I have and will probably stop participating here for like two days before resuming posting as much as ever.
Liking Vaporeon is reactionary.

Nah toasters are fucking bullshit devices, you’re telling me that you seriously need a device that burns a specific type of bread which is already cooked an wrapped in plastic? y’all couldn’t fit this specific thing into a tool with multiple purposes? like I’m pretty sure you can toast toast bread using just a pan, extremely niche bullshit that until very recently I thought only existed in cartoons
For real tho, I have a toaster oven that has an air fryer (and dehydrator!) function. I don’t have a toaster.
I think watt for watt it probably uses up a bit more electricity, but I’m not a big bread or toast guy anyway and my kitchen is tiny so I’m happy with my choice.
Let me tell you, though, buttering your bread before you toast it is one of life’s little luxuries that most people are oblivious to (except for when they bake individual slices of garlic bread). Shit gets borderline croissant-esque and if you hit the correct temp, fan speed, and distance from the elements you can actually brown your butter while you toast your bread which elevates it to an entirely different level. It’s the most gourmet toast ever.
(I think I’ve just argued for why toasters are proletarian and whatever the hell I’m doing is bougie.)
I had that idea when I was a kid and put buttered bread into our standard toaster resting on its side. I’m not 100% on what happened. There wasn’t a fire but I also didn’t keep doing that. Maybe the accumulated crumbs scattered on/next to the heating elements started smoking and I cut the experiment short? Maybe I’ll try again with my toaster oven.
You looked around you kitchen halfway through writing this post didn’t you?
If you don’t make your morning toast over the flames of a burning cop car you’re a liberal.
No exceptions.
toaster ovens are superior to toasters in every way except for taking up more counter space
Death to America
I’m already cluttering up this thread so I’ll keep it brief but if you have the option, a toaster oven that has an air fryer function makes it 100% justifiable imo.
