Sub-Thought: I wonder how many people punch in “1:00” instead of “60”?
Answer: not enough. Sub-sub-thought: of those people, how many open the door at 0:01 to avoid the bell?
If they do that, they’d better fucking clear the timer.
I shoot for opening between 0-1. So it clears the timer and doesn’t beep. It was either get good at that, or check the manual for how to turn off the beep noise, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to learn how to read.
I’m not sure 160 is 2 minutes on my microwave.
What happens when you type “1-6-0” on the time?
I’ve absolutely done it before because I’m weird. Entering 1:90 (on my Kenmore microwave) ticks down 1:89… 1:88… etc. until it hits 1:00 at which point it will continue as normal to 0:59.
1:60 behaves similarly.
I have a feeling the “add 30 seconds” button will correct it to proper time format, but I’ll test it for science.
A trick I learned from my dad was to do a quick “9-9-start” to get about a minute and a half
“9 0 start” is the same number of buttons. Also +30 seconds 3 times gets exactly 90 seconds. Your dad was trolling
“9 0 start” is the same number of buttons.
Yeah but you gotta move your finger from the 9 to the 0, which is slower
Also +30 seconds 3 times gets exactly 90 seconds
It didn’t have that button then
There are moments when I miss the stupid useless awards from Reddit.
Here you go … it was given to me and now I’m giving it to you.
“9999” equals 1 hour, 40 mins, and 39 seconds
Because 2:00 = 1:60
Or are we going to implement metric time?
The French tried to, briefly.
