Why in the world would you need a screen on a toaster?

To allow an easy jumping off point into the rest of your network.

I found it funny at first, but ..... it's not even fake! That DOES exist.

I'd laugh in the face of anyone trying to sell me one of these. I'd laugh so hard they quit their job on the spot.

Holy shit. I just assumed this was a well-photoshopped shitpost.

TWO HUNDRED QUIDS FOR A TOASTER

Good thing I don't eat toast. Or much bread in general. But when I do, I toast it in the oven.

Selling a premium "built to last" product (at a premium price), but only dare to offer a singular year of guarantee. Seems fishy to me.

Your future, or whoever buy this, normal people won't buy into this, this product is an IQ tax.

Face Bagel Inward

Don’t tell me how to face my bagel. I’ve been through a lot of bread based therapy already.

I feel your pain.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does it tell you where the bread goes? I put bread in, and toast comes out. I just wanna know what happened to the bread.

I looked the product up: The "Revolution R180 smart toaster" costs 350€ and has these features:

Smart Toasting Performance

7 precise browning levels for consistent results, from light to dark.
Smart toasting algorithms with temperature sensors that adjust in real time for even, repeatable toast.
Patented InstaGLO® 2.0 Heating System (reengineered) for ultra-fast heat that crisps the outside without drying the inside.

Intuitive Touchscreen Experience

7" full-color LCD touchscreen with clear, easy-to-navigate controls.
Dynamic icon home screen that surfaces your most-used settings automatically.
On-screen countdown timer and finishing chime so you know exactly when toast is ready.
