the arduino toasty mishap caught on toast

three burnt toasters and a robot that barely works - welcome to my crucial wiring failures

the great arduino toasty mishap

so, i had this brilliant idea. yknow, combine my love for toasters and arduino tech to make the ultimate bread-bot. fancied myself a genius for mashing those two together. no one was ready for what i was about to unleash.

got everything hooked up, feeling like the kitchen messiah. then, bam — the crisis. it hit me HARD that i’d been awake for 15 hours straight, staring at wiring diagrams from 2009.
why was i capable of THIS much destruction?
should’ve been a toaster myself.

looked at my toaster-robot brethren, lamented my failures in life. yeah, this was gonna be it — the canned toast pic.twitter.com/clkY8K5tW — but instead, i got distracted and burnt my toast again. the arduino? yeah…-again-.

i swear it's like wiring doesn't exist unless i'm actively ignoring it with a ferocity usually reserved for rocks or disappointment. this is the third time i’ve done it. at some point you gotta accept you’re cursed, right?

but the real kicker is that the toast actually worked for like five seconds before i... y’know, did whatever i do to break things. and the craziest part — i still haven’t become a toaster.
why am i this way.

anyway, that's my existential crises for the month. the arduino-robot-toast apocalypse continues. just wanted to document the madness before the next disaster.
