Look up “Resistentialism,” the modern philosophy that states “Things are against us.” In may seem strange, but it is based in scientific research and experimentation tends to prove it.
In 1935, for example, “Physicist Clark-Trimble arranged four hundred pieces of carpet in ascending degrees of quality, from coarse matting to priceless Chinese silk. Pieces of toast and marmalade, graded, weighed, and measured, were then dropped on each piece of carpet, and the marmalade-downwards incidence was statistically analysed.
“The toast fell right-side-up every time on the cheap carpet, except when the cheap carpet was screened from the rest (in which case the toast didn’t know that Clark-Trimble had other and better carpets), and it fell marmalade-downwards every time on the Chinese silk. Most remarkable of all, the marmalade- downwards incidence for the intermediate grades was found to vary exactly with the quality of carpet…”
Had a piece of peanut butter toast slide off my plate twice and actually land peanut butter side up. Figured it was my lucky day so went out and bought a lottery ticket, which I rarely do, – and lost.
Hot from the toaster to the gob, with a glob of real butter, before it has a chance of melting. Dust up any crumbs on the floor with your socks, if the dog doesn’t get there first.
If buttered toast always lands butter side down and a cat always lands on its feet, what happens if you tie a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat?
Pluggers can extend the 5 second rule cuse most of the time is spent getting down and the back up. In fact, the only time constraints are set by the local dog.

Next time, sit down at the table before you butter the bread.

The floor didn’t cause this. It can just feel the butter or the lack thereof.

The distance from the counter to the floor is one half bread flip. Carry it over your head and get a full flip.

Butter is suicidal. Can’t remember the name of the book I read that in. Explanations of Murphy’s Law ?

If the bread lands butter side up, it means you buttered the wrong side.

It’s uncanny how we always put the spreadable on the bottom side of the bread. When the bread is dropped, it always falls on the bottom of the bread.
