    I thought I was the only one who’d watch this guy!

      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’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.

        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.

        But it was in my head at that moment.

        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

      It’s less than twenty minutes. How much brain rot do you have?

      • Squirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        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.

        How much brain rot do you have that those overly verbose videos seem like a better alternative than a quick writeup?

      I watched it, it was a great video.

  It works well, so long as the size is right.

  • mech@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    How big should the button be?

    source

    • ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      About yea big.

  That depends. Cheap bullshit microwaves just have a preloaded time and power level, but microwaves with humidity sensors inside will run based on that when you use the popcorn button. Sometimes there are other buttons that make use of that sensor too.

  But yeah, you’re really best off throwing it on like 4 minutes and standing there waiting for the popping to trail off and then manually stop it, usually like 3 minutes in. Depends on your microwave wattage.
