Prolly fake but it still made me laugh
Broken clock - just because Elon is too dumb to use a toaster doesn't mean that the internet of things isn't a godawful idea.
Right? I don't even trust him to cover his mouth when he sneezes
Remember this next time a lib tells you billionaires deserve their wealth because they're that much smarter and better than everyone else
If Trump and Elon being billionaires doesn't completely discredit capitalism being meritocratic or fair in someone's mind, nothing will.
the thing is, i do pop tarts horizontally sometimes. its easy. you turn the toaster off and get your fingertips a little wet and then you get can it out without being burnt - works exactly the same if you have to touch say, a hot pan or someshit. i've been doing that since i was like 10, how does this guy exist
anyway, billionaires are the smartest people alive and capitalism breeds innovation ig
Do you not just push the thing up quickly enough that the pop tart flies out the top?
This is my method. If you do it hard enough, you can catch both of them in one pinch.
I usually microwave for 30 seconds though because pop tarts are one of the few things where it doesn't make a noticeable difference.
On my toaster you can just push the lever up far enough to grab anything comfortably
That's also the secret to the "putting out a lit candle with your fingers" trick, you lick your fingertips first.
Also, you can just you know, wait, because metal is more conductive than carbon, and therefore loses heat faster. Something you would think someone with a physics degree would know, although clearly his materials sciences skills are incredibly poor.
If the toaster slots are wide enough, you can get your fingertips around the outer edges, too, but I could just have really long freak hands. Silicone tongs are also an option, but probably overkill.
lol I just use chopsticks to retrieve toaster items most of the time anyways
I don't believe this story because I honestly don't believe he would know how to use a toaster let alone know to put poptarts in it.
i feel like he only knows how to use a toaster and a microwave and just eats complete garbage any time he doesn't have a servant to prepare something more complicated
Hey, you can make a crap load of good food with just a toaster and a microwave
what other snacks do you think he's be bamboozled by? I vote bugle chips, he'd be transfixed by the fact he can now have claws he can eat. Either that or those silly wafer straws and he complains about his straw falling apart after leaving it to stew in whatever liquid he's drinking while marveling at his bugle chip finger tips
Shame he didn't try to fish them out with a fork and electrocute himself
Turn the toaster on it's side? Unplug it and use a utensil? Wait a minute?
So many solutions here that don't involve burning your fingers.
