I’ve never fully understood how the ‘popcorn’ button on microwaves work (I’ve read different things that may or may not all be true depending on make/model), but my current one always runs for exactly 3 seconds too long and ever so slightly burns the popcorn.
It’s not burned enough to throw it out, but it does give a noticeable “burnt popcorn” smell that kind of ruins my day.
So instead of pressing “popcorn” and doing something else, I have to stand there and watch it to hit ‘cancel’ in time.
Sometimes I think the internet needs an Alec symbol to shine anytime Technology Connections needs to be invoked.
I imagine it would be like the bat signal, but look like hand painted LED Christmas lights or something.
Deep cut, and I appreciate the hell out of that!
I don’t know what it would look like but I know what it would sound like – a heat-pump compressor starting up.
It could be the silhouette of a sunbeam radiant control toaster
