    • 2013, Paul G. Halpern, The Cyclical Serpent: Prospects for an Ever-Repeating Universe, page 235:
      While unshowering, driving in reverse, or unslicing a loaf of bread, all thoughts would proceed backward as well, so nobody would even know the difference between the strange events taking place and normal life.
    • 2017, John Theobald, The Media and the Making of History:
      If only sliced bread is available, you buy it, and it is both superfluous and impossible to try to unslice it; so you end up eating it, and enjoying the convenience.
