Puzzle Description:
To think, I'd drawn almost forty puzzles for this site before finally getting around to drawing a toaster.

A nice quick one.#2: Gitte Olesen (granny40) on Nov 29, 2006
Cute little puzzle.#3: J.C. Anderson (jc.noserdna) on Sep 9, 2007 [SPOILER]
Why might one get around to drawing a toaster sooner?#4: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Oct 2, 2007 [SPOILER]
Good rendition.
It's a nice toaster. Why have bread and water when you can so easily have toast and tea. That's a quote but I'm not sure of the source and the wording may be not exact, but it popped into my mind when I finished the puzzle.#5: Scylla Kat (scyllacat) on Mar 3, 2008
Indeed, I also want to know why this particular image might seem an imperative. Did I miss an inside joke?#6: Jan Wolter (jan) on Mar 5, 2008 [SPOILER]
Toasters have some kind of mysterious significance to computer geeks that is a bit hard to describe.#7: Arduinna (arduinna) on Mar 5, 2008 [SPOILER]
Perhaps you've seen the classic "flying toaster" screen saver. Various black box devices get called "toasters" and device driver coding examples generally pretend to be a device driver for a toaster. There's a talking toaster in red dwarf and cylons are sometimes referred to as toasters, and there is Thomas Disch's science fiction classic, "The Brave Little Toaster".
But mostly I was pulling your legs.
Talkie Toaster!#8: m2 (mercymercy) on Mar 6, 2008 [SPOILER]
Holly: "I know everything! Metaphysics, philosophy, the purpose of being--everything! Ask me a question, any question, and I'll answer it."
Talkie Toaster: "The question is this: Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite... would you like a toasted teacake?"
Would you believe we received 5 sets of drinking glasses as wedding presents and not one toaster?
I just thought you meant that it would be an easy puzzle to make since a toaster isn't very complex.#9: Byrdie (byrdie) on Dec 27, 2008 [HINT]
Not to mention that they used to give them as gifts when you opened a bank or credit card account.#10: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 19, 2010
Very nice image and fun to solve.

Nice. I love the flying toaster screensaver. :) Until I finished it, I thought it was someone reading a book.#12: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Apr 13, 2011
Do I have to throw the computer to see it fly?#13: Ruby Hammer (rubyqhammer) on Feb 22, 2013
done#14: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Aug 30, 2021
