i will then give another passive aggresive beep every few minutes until you acknowledge me.

And yet the stove top/oven will stay on forever without alerting you until you realize something is on fire.

Ceiling beep: this is my cue!

Or in the case of my dumb microwave: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP.

WHY SO MANY

I was at a hotel once and went to the bathroom while heating up some food. The microwave finished and beeped like 10 times then beeped every 15 seconds until I opened the door. I don't really understand what problem that's meant to fix, it's not like the microwave keeps microwaving after it beeps and shuts off, nothing's going to catch on fire

My drier at home does this too, although every 10 minutes as opposed to seconds, and I don't understand that either. Washing machine I could understand since if you forget about it for too long it might go mildew-y, but once my drier is done, it's done, and won't turn back on until Its turned back on. A beep every 10 mins might be nice as an optional toggle or something for forgetful people, but it's just plain annoying

Mine does not have a rotating plate, just a glass bottom. I assume the magnetron rotates, either that or it heats unevenly.

the latter is most likely

I can hear this meme in 50Hz… 😂

I dunno about this. My microwave beeps 4 times.

Yeah it does 😏

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Mine does one and then if I take too long opening it after that, it does two really huffy ones.

Mine's an asshole and keeps beeping until you open the door.

[–] dukk@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Mine does some, then waits, then does some again, until you open it. Terrible because there’s enough silence to ignore it, but the beeps are still often enough to be annoying, so your stuck in a constant indecision between getting up and opening the door, and just staying and working since it’s quiet now.

I'm not showing off, I hate it. Stupid retro style clockwork. To do anything below 3 minutes you have to wind it over 3 minutes and back again. FUCK. And the red sticker that tells you that is unremovable, so the fucking retro style is ruined anyway. Hard to believe it was manufactured in this millennium.

I'm not. I long for the days I had one that went beep.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

mine beeps only once but it's a long one

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

It still hasn't stopped to this very moment
