🍞 Hot toast releases steam as it cools, and when you lay it flat on a plate, that steam gets trapped between the bread and the plate, condensing back into water and turning the bottom soggy. Standing the slice upright lets that moisture escape into the air instead of pooling underneath, which is why cafes and restaurants often rest toast against a little rack. The physics checks out, and apparently most men figured this out without telling anyone. (@safrank1126 theafrociscan via Collab) #funny
