Jesus, bro, why not just tell everyone the brave little toaster wasn’t even that brave while you’re at it.
He also toasted bread unevenly
And Ducky shouldn't have eyelashes. Wait, does Cera have external ears??
It's not saying they turned into oil. They turned into an oil rig. /s

Its not actually, most of the oil was from plants that died before fungus and decaying bacteria evolved so the dead logs just sat there and would not decompose ever
