| How does your toaster get the bread on its own? |

| It’s only responsible for the toasting part. The bread machine makes the bread. |

The average toaster has literally one operational variable (cook time) and even that minuscule proto-responsibility is entirely on the human operator. All other aspects of the toaster's operation are decisions made by the toaster's human designer/engineer. | |

| How do you get bread? Don't tell me you got it at the market. That's just paying someone else to get it for you. |
