This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is he talking literally about toasters or using it as a slang for robots/androids?

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It's an allegory for any "extremely niche" interest that would have been considered super weird before these people could easily find eachother, although OP probably had furries and people like that in mind.

It's 4chan. The dude literally wants to fuck toasters.

Like the cheap ones you get from the supermarket that break 3 weeks or the super expensive ones with very important blue LEDs on everything?

How do I know, mate? This is not 4chan, we're on Lemmy. I want to ~~fuck~~ install Linux.

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Anyone wanting to fuck the cheap ones is sick in the head.

[–] redthings@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

They just wanted to fuck vacuums like a normal mechanoperv, but it's 4chan

Yeah, I've mostly heard this mentioned in reference to really obscure fetishes that you'd probably never have a chance to indulge in if it weren't for the internet.

I’ll take this one: It’s toasters

I remember an early wtf Internet moment for me on fark.com someone linked a car-fucking forum complete with diy "muffler cosies", etc. Probably at least half joking, right??
