Say both options out loud, and then think for like two seconds.

If the answer to your question doesn't become obvious from this exercise, you may want to contact a hearing specialist and/or speech therapist.

Yeah, I know bowsette SOUNDS better... but still

There's nothing to indicate that either the powerup switches the name suffix to its opposite, or that -ser is the opposite of -ette.

If Bowser becomes Bowsette, and Toadette becomes Peachette, there's no indication that option 3 would become option 3ser. -ette is a classical feminine suffix, and the powerup enhances feminine aspects.


The real question is whether or not Mario would turn into a puppet if he ate the thing...

I'm was gonna make a marionette joke, but I'm very suspicious that was what you just did.

Now I get it. Huh.

what? that doesn't even resemble what people are saying when they make that complaint. it's nothing to do with opposites, it's cause the powerup turns toadette into peachette. the "ette" comes from "toadette" rather than anything to do with "opposites" or whatever. the suffix is gained from the person using the powerup.

More importantly, the red hair version is superior.
(But yeah the whole premise is hilariously flawed.)

[Frumple]

Yeah, it really, really is superior. Mario-verse jeanne alter is okay, too, though.

[Reelya]

So you know bowsette right? Well since the origin of that is toadette becoming peachette, shouldn't it be called peachser

I have a bit of a theory that these 'wrong' versions of things beat out the 'proper' versions because they succinctly communicate the idea.

For example "Luke, I am your father" is a "wrong" quote that pedants like to point out. Except the "correct" quote fails to deliver the same information. "No, I am your father" is correct, but it lacks context, so the incorrect quote went viral instead.

Similarly, Bowsette won over Peachser not only because it sounds better, but because it better expresses the concept.

EDIT: reddit/r/bowsette. Now they're really starting with the NSFW Bowsette cosplays. (I shouldn't need to point it out, but browse the subreddit at your own NSFW peril).

How are you supposed to put the goddamn bread into the toaster, I keep getting small shocks as somehow my bread is conductive and I am scared.

I even unplugged the toaster to see if I was just being crazy and the ants in my fingers dissapeared...

You need to get a new toaster and probably never use that one again o.o

[Frumple]

Yeeaaah. That shouldn't be happening unless there's something seriously wrong with the toaster. Normally you just... drop the bread in the provided slot. Put part away from hands in, then let go. If you're really confused just youtube for using a toaster or something, or find the manual or... whatever.

Point being it's not complicated and under no circumstances should you be getting shocked when putting the toast in.

[Rolan7]

There's also the step where you manually lower the lever, though maybe that doesn't apply to modern toasters.  They're probably all automatic now!  The dystopian apocalypse is upon us WAAAAAAAA

If a part is charging your hand, you may have a bad line to the ground.
which was normal for me growing up because we used a half dozen 3-2 prong adapters because our house had no ground wiring

The trick is to discharge it with gusto.  If you strike a grounding object with intention, it zaps a whole lot less than an accidental touch.

But if you're getting a *current* through your finger, which sounds likely from your description, uh... yeah, drop that toaster like hot trash.

[Hanslanda]

No... Get a new toaster either way. 30 USD isn't worth a heart attack via electric shock.

[Parsely]

Bread IS conductive, that's why an electric toaster can heat your bread!
