gollark: Something like that.
gollark: What if you make the hypertoaster actually just (secretly) cache some already-toasted toast, while actually toasting at normal speed?
gollark: Can you somehow make synthetic, rapidly toastable toast?
gollark: To evenly heat the toast, you could maybe soak it in water and use a toast microwave.
gollark: Why is that? Higher-temperature-friendly reactions in the toast? Slow heat transfer?
