Add a dash of ADHD memory issues and this is almost guaranteed to burn your house down.

i don't like to move my finger around, so all my microwave times are of the 44, 77, 2:22, 4:44... format

I shop once a week and buy all the food for the week. At the end of the week, I have a nearly empty fridge.

I don't want to run out of ingredients, so I divide the weight on the package by seven, and weigh each one as I go. So I know I can have 120g of frozen blueberries each day, 60g of parmesan, 120g of broccoli, 90g of brussel sprouts, 30g of cream in my coffee for each of five coffees a day, etc. I'm happy when on the last day I don't need to weigh anything.

I didn't use to be this way, it just sort of happened.

Samsung smart microwave wifi telemetry fears this person.

I'll sometimes take a nap, 30 min before I have to go out. No alarm.

Just press the +30 sec button over and over, he's going to burn down the house when he forgets. 💀

I would end up looking at my microwave thinking "How can the time be 67:36? It's waaaaaay past my bedtime."

I wish I could do this, but my microwave resets to zero after about 3 minutes of being left with any residual time.

I’m also a 2:22, 55, 77, 99, etc. user.

The sentence is life in prison but each offender only has to serve a couple years and then they get swapped out with the next one in the queue.

The one at my work has never reached zero.

Like the code in Lost, we keep it from running out. Nobody knows what will happen if it does.

Weird answer: body parts! I have what i have and measuring it isnt going to make me feel better. I do the things i need to do to increase muscle, decrease fat, and maximize happiness and longevity.

Measuring leads to comparison leads to disappointment

So for someone who has a microwave that only works in minutes and actual seconds, meaning 59 is the highest my seconds can go, before the minute counter is increased. Do these microwaves just work in terms of 100 seconds? So if you input 10:00 it's not actually 10 minutes but rather 1000 seconds, meaning it's now 16:40 on a "correct" microwave?

This would drive me crazy, just seeing that start blinking non stop instead of the time like sane people.

Just microwave everything for a M.I.N.U.T.E. Mean Ideal Nuke Unit Time Estimate. That's how the minute was invented back in the 1950s.

Those are very long minutes!

Garlic is understandable, I use a shit ton... But if it's an "extract" it's definitely getting measured. Maybe I'm just picky about my baked goods.

You can't do this with new microwaves. Child lock, you have to clear the time before you can open it. Yes, you have to clear it even if the time runs completely out.

Dishwashing powder, or basically any cleaning product really

This but my air fryer

I totally do this. Mine is set to just over 4min at the moment (manual dial). Door ajar to stay off until I use it next,which could be weeks away.

It's completely normal as far as I'm concerned ;) But I do adjust to a round minute if I really want to stick close to the instructed time.

I remember my school cafeteria doing roughly this, entering a high number and then just heating orders up for a few seconds. Makes sense for them, but in a household, why…
