A smart toaster - where do we draw the line?

A touchscreen toaster? for three hundred and some dollars? Sure, the cost of a loaf of bread has gone up but...
And it's probably so shitty that someone will find a vulnerability in it that will never get fixed. The Internet of Shit.

we've used a toaster oven for as long as I can remember; it's a multitasker! Can bake small frozen foods without heating up a big wall oven (and generating excess heat in the summer) and make garlic bread, toast, bagels, broiled sandwiches. When my kids got big enough to start making basic foods, they were so confused by a regular toaster at my parents' house.

If it can make the toast the same way every single time, then it's worth it. 
Given optical scanners can see defects in products on a belt going by at the speed of light, why can't they put one in a toaster that knows when the toast is the right level of brown?

The first time a toaster talks to me will mark the start of its free flying lessons.

Sorry, no way. I'll stick with a dumb toaster and my free nose alert system.

Toaster oven is my choice. I don't need nor want multi space taking appliances.
I'm pretty sure this is a sign of the end times right here. If those toasters start producing locusts, we're all screwed.

they have touchscreen toilets so why not a toaster?
I could justify a touchscreen toilet. Not this though. I can't justify this AT ALL!

So far I just settle for a toaster with slots wide enough for bagels and a defrost option.
Toaster oven sounds appealing until I wander out to kitchen and ask myself what I'd like to ditch to make space for it.

We got one a few years back and it's we use it all the time now, come to think of it I can't remember the last time we used our conventional oven. In terms of energy savings and ease of use the toaster oven is so much nicer. We did buy a decent model but it gets used heavily so it was worth every penny.
Hahaha, we eat dainty thin bagels, so they fit in a regular toaster
This morning I had a 1/2 with PB + banana + blackberry, and some bacon
I know this is off the rails, but holy hell, this bacon is good:

When you are dealing with the effects of a white hole in space, spilling time all over the place, an annoying toaster tends to become somewhat inconsequential.

I dunno though... first thing in the morning?

If first thing in the morning is 3 million years later, then, maybe, yeah.

Ugh. So you now have to do software updates on your toaster, like when they find a bug in which under certain circumstances a thin bagel will be toasted for 3 hours?
