Microwave time
Microwave time
"How do you convert seconds to microwave time? let's say you have 60 seconds that would be 00:60 but if you have 61 seconds then it would be 01:01
What's the wizardry /g/?"
I mean, most microwaves will recognize base 10 seconds. I can put 0:90 on mine and it will go for 1:30.
Yup, about all of them does that. Wait until this guy see a clock with Roman numerals ๐
This clock goes to 11! But it does it right after 1. Weird.
Threads like that explain a lot about the state of the world.
Yeah, I always put my potatoes in the microwave for 6:66, or if they're somewhat larger potatoes, 7:77.
I microwave my potatoes at power level 7 for 7 minutes, 10 minutes if I have a lot of them. Also pierce them and cover them with a moist paper towel.
6:66 at 60% power is my goto for reheating large-ish dishes. 5:55 at 50% for medium-sized ones. 4:44 @ 40% for smaller dishes.
You can actually put 61 and it would still work. Up to 99. After that it will assume 1 minute instead of 75 seconds or whatever.
Doesn't microwave time only come in intervals of 30 seconds. I though the other buttons where simply for show.
You don't have one of those rotary knob microwaves? You're missing out. The spinny wheel is so fun
I remember the ancient microwave we used to have.
No rotating plate, just a box with a knob on it.
Your food will cook for somewhere between 3 and 7 minutes. It will be unevenly heated. You will enjoy the aroma of 20 years of popcorn being blown out of the side.
Enjoy your half frozen leftovers, and kneel before the unkillable microwave.
It's called a Michaelwave. Just saying
00:60
No. Just no.
60 seconds can have a totally different meaning from 1 minute. First, there are leap seconds, which cause a minute to have 61 (or more rarely, 59) seconds. Second, 1 minute conveys a different amount of accuracy than 60 seconds does. Just like you donโt measure house sizes in micrometers and the width of a hair in meters.
There's been 27 leap seconds since 1972. That's not going to make a big difference in how my microwave heats my food.
I'm pretty sure every microwave just splits the input in to the last to digits as a number of seconds and the digits before that as minutes. Then runs for
60 * minutes + seconds. So 0:99 is equivalent to 1:39 and 1:80 is equivalent to 2:20. I mean it is a little weird that the seconds can be >59 and extra weird that you can do 6:66 but it isn't exactly wizardry.
