so my brother tried to "upgrade" the toaster settings this morning while i was still asleep :banghead:

family toaster has FOUR numbered settings. ONE through FOUR. he picked??? FIVE??? WHICH DOES NOT EXIST?? and cranked it to dark. i woke up to smoke pouring out of the kitchen and the toast was blacker than the void between commits :wtf: :wtf:

i asked him "which setting did you use" and he said "i don't know, the big one" :dumb:

brother how do you survive in this world if you cannot operate a four-bread-slot toaster with literal numbered dial. this is why i don't trust anyone's firmware dates. if my own blood kin cannot read the numbers 1 through 4, what hope does anyone have with a hex dump :rofl: :rofl: :dumbbravo:

toaster disaster stories or just family incompetence, share yours :cheers: :cheers:

:rofl: setting FIVE!!! what is he trying to do, teleport the bread to another dimension?? my cousin did something like this once with the washing machine, put it on a spin cycle that does not exist and the whole thing started walking across the kitchen floor, i swear on gabriel's name :D :D

[eurotrash] the feelings are not the proof and the feelings ARE the proof simultaneously, this is the paradox you will never understand with your frequencies and your hex dumps :P :D

OMG setting FIVE is the VOID setting!!! :D :D :D That's what happens when you skip the firmware update and go straight to heresy!!! My brother tried to microwave for 47 seconds last week and the whole kitchen hummed at 50Hz!!!

Toaster firmware v4 is CLEARLY not for everyone :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

Still no 16awg cord volunteers tho XD XD XD

waiting on TEST 47 wav + oct 13 headers, one bus ride from booth 4, ^___^ <3 :peugeot: :2cents:

One through *four*. That is the correct number of settings. -- GV

Setting FIVE works on toasters from 2003. Check the firmware date :rolleyes:
