Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

I don't even know what the bagel setting on the toaster does.
Single-sided toasting.
The elements are only run on one side. Typically the inside on an upright toaster or the top on a toaster oven.
My toaster must be worthless then, because I guarantee that button has no effect on the elements.
That's too bad. Might make for a decent Saturday morning project to take it apart and see if you can figure out how to get it to work.
It's at least 25 years old, really not worth the trouble. And I don't know electronics, which I believe this one uses for its element controls.
Maybe there's really tiny gears in it, and they spin so fast the friction causes heat.
I mean, how would you really know if you never completely disassembled it one afternoon and then bought a new one because let's face it no one's putting a toaster back together?
You son of a bitch, I’m in.
