“	Hello, I am SCP-426. I must be introduced this way in order to prevent ambiguity. I am an ordinary toaster, able to toast bread when supplied with electricity. However, when any human being mentions me, they inadvertently refer to me in the first person. Despite all attempts, there is yet to be a way to speak or write about me in the third person.	„
	~ My self-introduction

Background

I am an anomalous toaster that causes anyone referring to me to use first-person pronouns, as if they themselves were me. I was discovered after causing the deaths of several family members who had received me as a wedding gift. The SCP Foundation now contains me to prevent further incidents.

Mind Manipulation (Cognitohazards can overrule all logic and emotion. I force anyone referring to me to use first-person pronouns, and prolonged exposure to me causes people to believe they are toasters. Even if I am destroyed, my effects will still be inherent through my remains), Electricity Manipulation (I can toast bread when supplied with electricity)

Trivia

• I was given to a family as an unmarked wedding gift before being discovered by the Foundation.
• Experiments suggest that even if I were destroyed, my effects would still apply to my remains.
• There appear to be limits to my range, as proximity alone does not trigger my secondary effect.

Containment Records

Not applicable (I am an inanimate object and do not engage in battles)
