        If your toaster is automatic beyond belief, you should be in awe but not afraid, for this alien technology bestowed upon us by the ancients is benevolent and incorruptible.

        But a modern toaster? That could kill you in your sleep!

        Yes, ram has little tiny switches that flip horizontal or vertical, to reflect a 1 or 0, and those can wear down over time. Crappy ram dies in a few years or less, some last for decades.

            See, the truth is, Voyager doesn’t exist anymore, it hit the edge of our universe and it’s the aliens responding, trying to learn our programming language. That’s why it’s garbled right now.
