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.
