prospects remain extremely low that an electric mixer will rise into sentience
how about releasing them blades when the owner, baffled by the sudden silence, does the obvious, by getting their mug close enough to the device to inspect the pulp, or, perhaps, putting their pinky into the blender to give the blades a gentle push? Because that's what humans do (when guns don't fire, mixers fail to mix, etc.)
