Yeah, I set the toaster on fire once also. I had read online that you can make cheese toast in there if you turn the toaster sideways so that the cheese is on top vs gravity. It might have worked if the toaster hadn't caught fire. I had to throw it out the front door into the yard
- I'm actually kind of amazed that the failure mode for "toaster used sideways" is that it just catches fire. That's one hell of a design flaw.
  
  Is it a design flaw if someone uses the toaster in a way it's clearly not intended for, and food touches the hot elements and catches fire?
  
  If you didn't expect a machine that has very hot elements very close to your food to make such food burn if used wrongly, that's on you.
  
  There's all sorts of inappropriate ways to use a toaster where the failure mode is fire. Making toast in bed, under the covers? Catch fire. In a puddle of gasoline? Catch fire. Seriously, WTC toasters?
- I’m pretty sure that was a famous internet prank.
  
  Or an average Reddit post.

I once got rear-ended by a lady (my car was totaled) who told me two things as we were waiting for the cops that I will never forget:
"I just got my new glasses prescription, but I'm not wearing them today."
"I wasn't supposed to be driving my husband's truck. We don't have to let the cops know it's my husband's truck, right?"
The cops got informed. I got a new car.
- Reminds me of the time I was rear ended and the guy told me it was because he was playing candy crush.
- I might have kept the second thing to myself depending on why she wasn't supposed to be driving it. Though, it's not like she can keep what happened from her husband.
  
  Some insurance won't insure on certain vehicles unless people within the household sign an affidavit saying they will not be the ones driving it, usually based on their previous history. Seeing as she didn't want the cops to know, I'd guess it's something along those lines.
  
  Insurance fraud.

Fun fact, if you turn a toaster sideways you can use them to make quesadillas.
This works about 90% of the time.
- Do not do this. Toasters are not made to be used sideways. At best you’ll melt the probably plastic sides of your toaster, at worse you’ll burn your house down.
  
  I didn't say it was a good idea.
  
  At best... You'll melt the plastic sides of your toaster AND make a fine quesadilla.
  Win in my book.
  
  at worse you’ll burn your ~~house~~ dorm down.
  
  Why would your toaster have plastic?
- This is 100% bullshit. My mom lit the toaster on fire doing this with pizza
  
  They said 90%, your mom was just part of the lucky 10%!
  
  My partner did the same thing... with a quesadilla.
- And other 10% of the time you get to watch smokin' hot firemen
- Good for reheating pizza too

Everybody knows that you only put bread or corn dogs in the toaster. 🤦🏻‍♂️
- And hashbrown squares
  
  And waffles.
  (Potato waffles)
- I have no idea what a corn dog is. I just hope it is not a living being.
  
  Others have covered the definition of a corn dog.
  A "cron dog" however, is when you use cron to schedule a dog command, which is an updated version of the cat command installed via the moreutils package that provides additional features such as colorized output and line numbering, making it more versatile.
  THIS HAS BEEN A DUMB LINUX FACT
  
  A) A dog with a single horn
  B) A burrowing mammal native to Iowa
  C) A hot dog in a stick dipped in corn bread batter and fried
  
  It's sausage coated with some material made of corn.
  Every time I see people talking about them on the web I wonder what it tastes like. Is it sweet?
  
  It is a hotdog inside of a cornbread shell, often served on a wooden stick. It is commonly a kids food though lately I've seen some restaurants make fancier versions https://goldbelly.imgix.net/uploads/showcase_media_asset/image/164647/Original.png?ixlib=react-9.0.2&auto=format&ar=1%3A1&w=1246
  
  In Canada we call them Pogo's because of those shitty frozen Pogo brand corn dogs. Kinda like how Kleenex is used for tissues.
  It's just a hot dog on a stick dipped in a corn meal batter then deep fried.
  
  A corn dog is technically a ravioli on a stick. Fight me.
  
  At one point it was at least two living beings, but could possibly be more depending on the quality of your dog.

Just get a sandwich toaster.
It browns better in general too and burns less.
The only con being that it doesn't let the moisture escape well enough (but that depends upon the model).
- You can't flip a sandwich toaster sideways though.
  
  ~~You~~ I can and it doesn't burn itself down (at least mine doesn't).
  You just need something to hold it that way.

How have people not heard of toaster ovens?
With that said... I don't have one, maybe I should get one lol

What a snitch
