This is contrary to my experience with toasters, but it doesn’t seem worth arguing about.

- recursive 1y agoHow do you get bread? Don't tell me you got it at the market. That's just paying someone else to get it for you.

- dullcrisp 1y agoIt’s only responsible for the toasting part. The bread machine makes the bread.
- jrflowers 1y agoIf the toaster is the thing that “performs the task of making toast”, what do you call it when a human gets bread and puts it in a toaster?
- simondotau 1y agoWhat is your definition of "responsible"? The human is making literally all decisions and isn't abdicating responsibility for anything. The average toaster has literally one operational variable (cook time) and even that minuscule proto-responsibility is entirely on the human operator. All other aspects of the toaster's operation are decisions made by the toaster's human designer/engineer.
