Nothing 'futuristic' about this -but 10/10 for creative, uncommon sense!

Does anyone else have directional issues when trying to use scissor with your left hand while looking into mirror? (Assuming your right hand in your primary hand, for left handers - does it happen with your right hand?)

It is at that point when Jimmy suddenly realised that the balcony was not designed to support the weight of all the water in his nifty pool design. RIP Jimmy! He had a bright future...except for in the field of structural engineering.

How to transfprm an ordinary toaster into a deadly catapult. I'd expect the following events: 1. dripping cheese setting the toaster on fire. 2. damn hot sticky cheese bread being flinged through the kitchen. 3. damn hot sticky cheese bread landing on someone's naked skin, causing severe burns.

It looks clever but DO NOT do this, by the way. it's a great way to burn the side of your toaster and ruin it.

I think most people rather use a toaster oven for such things since it is safer and more versatile.

I was doing this in 3001 (2001). It's nothing new. Just make sure that the toaster is well back from the edge of the counter otherwise the toast will end up on the floor.

Living in 3018 until that "cheese" drips, the toaster catches fire, your house/apartment burns down, and consequently you've got no insurance, no savings and poor credit. Not only do you no longer have a roof over your head BUT YOU'RE ALSO OUT A TOASTER. Dang!

If you try this with 'real' cheese you end up with a gunky toaster - most cheese melts and becomes runny - that stuff just swells and burns

Um, doesn't your toaster close up the width of the gratings inside the slots, to hold the toast from slumping when it's thin and upright? So it would be pressing on the cheese, wouldn't it?

No matter what kind of cheese it is, it's still an ingenious idea if you don't have a toaster oven and don't want to use the stove :)

Why were toasters invented to be vertical anyway? The people that designed may not have even considered this option.
