    When you look 25 but also 45

      We think people in older pictures look older, partly because people used to age faster, but also because we associate the clothes they’re wearing with what older people wear now. Their fashion stayed mostly the same, they’re old now, so when we see pictures of them in the same fashion, we think they look older.

      I was thinking that but then I realized younger me would probably just think they looked old and that maybe I’m the one that’s old.

    That toaster probably still works to. My Sunbeam is 44 years old, used daily, and still works great.

        Same. It’s just so fucking elegant!

      I have inherited a US$4 / 3.6€ toaster from a previous housemate. I told myself I’ll replace it when it dies, but it’s been nearly 12 years. That Sunbeam is much prettier than my plastic sweatshop junk and I’m a little jealous of it.

      I think I’m so used to planned obsolescence in tech that I greatly underestimated how hard it is to fuck up building a toaster. Mine doesn’t toast evenly, sure. But how perfectly even do I really need my toast to be?

        I make toast in a skillet because I don’t have a toaster but it works ok because then I can use the good butter so my jam and toast is much tastier and probably way less healthy, weirdly enough I think it’s more even on a skillet and a bit more crisp one side soft on the other like I like.

          I’m too much of a fan of timed power cut-off devices to go that route, and my doctors would probably also not be a fan. I can totally believe it makes for excellent and delicious toast though. Especially with the good butter.

    That’s a classic sunbeam toaster then it’s 100% worth it

      Yeah, that thing’s probably still sitting in their kitchen merrily making toast every morning; meanwhile I’m on like my 8th toaster and I’m not that old.

    Can you imagine how much of a PITA toast was before these bad boys came along?

      I’ve made toast by popping it in the oven on broil. Not too bad, if you’re doing a large batch of toast.
