  Toaster. You put bread in, you push a button, you get toast out.

  Simple. Stupid. Cheap machine. Capable of doing one thing well.

  It’s a great insult.

    Your toasters do it well? Mine required trial an error to determine what number it should be set to, and the result is uneven.

      You should be happy. Mine does a different thing every time, no matter the setting…

  Clanker is so ick. Especially for protocol services like an AI or bot where the only moving parts are the fans and pumps server-side.

  Toaster is cool, but describes an early model of robot in Battlestar Galactica because it had bread slots looking eyes. I sill like it though because they generate ridiculous hear doing a simple task.

  In FNV DLC, a certain Toaster would toast you for this comment.

  when I first saw this reply, it was only a few minutes old and I think or I hope I was the 2nd or 3rd upvote on it. Now its the most popular comment on this and I am glad to have been in consensus on it.

  Toasters is the best phrase for this
