Both "200" and "160" are 2 minutes in microwave math

There are moments when I miss the stupid useless awards from Reddit.

"9999" equals 1 hour, 40 mins, and 39 seconds

Sub-Thought: I wonder how many people punch in “1:00” instead of “60”?

[today@lemmy.world]

I'm not sure 160 is 2 minutes on my microwave.

[random_character_a@lemmy.world]

Hyssst. Universes false vacuum might collapse.

[howabt2morrow@futurology.today]

Answer: not enough.
Sub-sub-thought: of those people, how many open the door at 0:01 to avoid the bell?

Isn’t 159 faster

[vk6flab@lemmy.radio]

Here you go .. it was given to me and now I'm giving it to you.

Chalk it up to a Christmas food coma cause I didn't catch that until you said it

My microwave doesn't have speed cook, so this is the fastest way to get 2m on the clock

If they do that, they'd better fucking clear the timer.

You mean here on Lemmy? I think they disabled them on reddit anyway.

You guys are getting buttons?

My Japanese microwave only has an imprecise knob to turn. It came free with the apartment, so I can't complain too much.

I suppose it prevents people from accidentally doing something like hitting 20:00 instead of 2:00 and starting a fire.

Your microwave does math funny

[nailingjello@lemmy.zip]

I'll only buy a microwave if it stops beeping when I open the door. So if I open it right as the timer finishes then it only does like half of one beep.

Side note, the microwave also needs to go straight to time entry once I start pressing numbers. I've seen some stupid microwaves that you need to press a Time Cook button before the numbers or it will assume you are using its preset cook settings like "pizza" or "soup".

I don't think you can even input :60 except as in 2 presses of [+30 seconds]

[kn33@lemmy.world]

What happens when you type "1-6-0" on the time?

[zagorath@aussie.zone]

Since we're talking about the fine polish UX of microwaves, one feature I highly value that not all have is that it should end cooking at exactly the same angle I put it in. It should complete a whole number of rotations while running.
