Some streamers on Twitch seemed to get a bit bored and came up with an idea that ultimately caused the toaster to catch fire.
Who is it about? The British Tobias James Smith, who streams under the name “Tubbo,” is an English content creator currently conducting a subathon on Twitch. The streamer has been live continuously for over 45 days. Tubbo has over 5 million followers on Twitch and is among the largest live streamers in the UK.
On the 45th day of his subathon, the streamer, who published many Minecraft videos before his Twitch career, began to experiment with his toaster.
xQc’s subathon is also a recurring topic; you can see more about him here.
Streamer melted plastic toys in a toaster
What did the streamer experiment with? The streamer and his friends placed a toaster on a cooking island in the kitchen, but instead of making a British cucumber sandwich, the streamers put plastic toys in the toaster and melted them. The viewers got to decide what went in the toaster during the “Will it Toast?” challenge.
On X, formerly Twitter, he posed for a picture before the toasting began. Tubbo and his friends toasted a doll, then a gel eye. After that, the first toaster broke.
Next, the streamer let his chat vote on whether chocolate, digestive biscuits, or a rubber squishy ball should go in the toaster. The chat chose the rubber ball.
What happened with the rubber ball? At first, the toaster smoked a little, but the smoke quickly intensified. Tubbo’s friends and he became somewhat worried as half the kitchen was practically filled with smoke, and they were wildly waving cutting boards to disperse it.
As it had to happen: The toaster burst into flames. While everyone screamed loudly, a fire extinguisher was already grabbed, and the camera was covered.
While the picture remained black, a bang was heard, and the smoke detector went off. When the camera filmed the scene again, the fire was extinguished. Tubbo and his friends stood for a moment in the smoky kitchen before deciding to leave the room.
Later on X, he shared a clip of the moment when the toaster caught fire:
Does this have any consequences? So far, the Twitch streamer has received criticism on social media but is still streaming. Even today, on day 47 of his livestreams, he is still online. Twitch itself apparently has not taken any consequences for sharing such dangerous behavior in front of such a large audience.
