I’m in the process of buying a new house. So I was looking at one last week, and the smoke detector just kept chirping.
And I was just about to say “Did you know there’s actually two types of these?”
And just as I was about to say that, I got sad in realizing that I’d then be obligated to elaborate, and now I’m spending 45 minutes talking about a topic that neither of us wants being discussed right now.
There are more reasons than just brain rot for not wanting to spend 20 minutes of your free time watching a video about popcorn settings on microwaves.
Let me introduce you to Technology Connections report on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Limpr1L8Pss
I thought I was the only one who’d watch this guy!
You’re not alone! I’ll gladly listen to him explain the refrigeration cycle again and again and again and how everything is just a worse heart pump.

But it was in my head at that moment.
Yep. Just you, somehow having subscribed to his channel over 3 million times and watching all his videos millions of times over.
I’m surprised you have any time left to be on Lemmy.
You showed him!
I subscribe! …but don’t usually watch
His recent solar / renewable one is worth a watch, especially the extended version…
Can I please get a tldw? I love the idea of technology connections. But who has the time?
I watched a while ago so I may misremember.
Cheap ones are just a timer that works for most common microwave popcorn packages.
Good ones detect the first popped kernel and then go for another 30s, as stated on most microwave popcorn packages
iirc there are also some that detect humidity and infer when to stop from that somehow
That might be how the first kernel popping gets detected.
I had no idea. I always assumed mine just did 3:30. I need to check.
I watched it. It was a great video.
It’s less than twenty minutes. How much brain rot do you have?

What a bizarre thing to say. What else are you going to do? /s
How much brain rot do you have that those overly verbose videos seem like a better alternative than a quick writeup?
Lots
