Toaster is good. We’ve used that for years and it’s memed hard. Its origin is toward AI and physical robots. Even though it’s a slur based on the first model Cylon having a toaster face, it implies robots are simple and they generate ridiculous amounts of heat to do a simple task.
We don’t need to reinvent the wheel here just because someone had a viral video on TikTok. Clanker sounds so dumb too. Especially for protocol bots that have no moving parts beyond data centre fans and pumps.

Toaster. You put bread in, you push a button, you get toast out.
Simple. Stupid. Cheap machine. Capable of doing one thing well.
It’s a great insult.
Your toasters do it well? Mine required trial an error to determine what number it should be set to, and the result is uneven.
You should be happy. Mine does a different thing every time, no matter the setting…
What is my purpose ?

Toasters is the best phrase for this
In FNV DLC, a certain Toaster would toast you for this comment.
