"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/?"
It’s called a Michaelwave. Just saying
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.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.
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.
you can’t make this shit up
and yet, someone did, and an entire thread got hooked on the b8.
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 don’t 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.
Why not? Hitting 6-0 is faster than pressing 1-0-0. Although I just hit the +30 seconds twice so it doesn’t matter.
Because no clock ever should show 00:60. Whatever you enter, 01:00 should be displayed.

Well, it’s 59:60 but close enough.
I mean, most microwaves will recognize base 10 seconds. I can put 0:90 on mine and it will go for 1:30.
That’s crazy. I have literally never encountered that. 100% of the microwaves with a digital display I’ve used shows 1:00 when you go past 00:59.
Yup, about all of them does that. Wait until thiw guy see a clock with Roman numerals 😂
This clock goes to 11! But it does it right after 1. Weird.
