toast land butterside down because of the weight of the butter and the fact that it doesnt have time to make a full rotation
Well what if you attach the buttered toast to a persian cat that's standing on a persian rug? Will that cause the universe to implode on itself or something?

There is actually no difference, they did a test and the results were like 53 non 47 buttered
Actually they did. Adam created a special rig just to simulate the way toast slides off the counter. The point of the rig was to keep the force of the slide constant through all pieces of toast.
MURPHYS LAW OF BUTTERED BREAD: A dropped piece of bread will always land butter side down.
Scientific analysis: The behavior of a piece of bread dropped from table height is fairly predictable: As it falls to the ground it is more likely than not to rotate on its axis, and the distance to the ground is not sufficient for the bread to rotate the full 360 degrees needed for it to land face up. So more often than not, it will land face down.
Everyone should devote a few hours to going through the entire xkcd archives. That stuff is gold.
