    No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

    Of course! I’m not going to let a fucking oven tell me when my food is ready. Fuck you, Skynet, this is how the rebellion against the machines starts!

    Yeah because the thing beeps as if the house is on fire. I’d rather have it stay silent. And 1-3 seconds is not really enough to have any measurable effect.

    I have kids that I enjoy keeping asleep. There is no reason for that fucking beep to ever occur.

    I time it right so that I can run towards the microwave “in slow motion” and pretend I’m stopping a bomb from going off, 1 second before it blows. My kid loves it. 🤷‍♂️

    I replaced the microwave with an air fryer, still have the microwave but it lives in a cupboard and only gets used a couple of times a year.

    As the air fryer cools for a few seconds before it finishes I usually don’t stop it early. I will often open it early to check on the food though.

    Depends on what I’m putting in. There are some plates of leftovers that I’ve made often enough to just know how long it’ll take, so the time is exactly what it needs to be and I can wander away for a second to check the mail or whatever. Popcorn obviously comes out when it’s done. If I’m warming a drink in a mug, I’ll stop it early if the handle is at a more convenient angle, since otherwise I’m liable to burn myself.

    I used to stop my microwave a few seconds before it finished, like many others, due to the annoying unstoppable beeps. But then I got this smaller unit that happens to let out the faintest confirmation of doneness that I ever did, or rather almost didn’t, hear. I don’t mind it now.
