i will then give another passive aggresive beep every few minutes until you acknowledge me.

And yet the stove top/oven will stay on forever without alerting you until you realize something is on fire.

Ceiling beep: this is my cue!

Or in the case of my dumb microwave: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP.

WHY SO MANY

I was at a hotel once and went to the bathroom while heating up some food. The microwave finished and beeped like 10 times then beeped every 15 seconds until I opened the door. I don't really understand what problem that's meant to fix, it's not like the microwave keeps microwaving after it beeps and shuts off, nothing's going to catch on fire

My drier at home does this too, although every 10 minutes as opposed to seconds, and I don't understand that either. Washing machine I could understand since if you forget about it for too long it might go mildew-y, but once my drier is done, it's done, and won't turn back on until Its turned back on. A beep every 10 mins might be nice as an optional toggle or something for forgetful people, but it's just plain annoying

If you time it just right and open the door after the numbers disappear but before the beepy-beeps, you might just experience the greatest joy known to man, on par with witnessing the logo hit the corner of screen.

Mine does not have a rotating plate, just a glass bottom. I assume the magnetron rotates, either that or it heats unevenly.

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

the latter is most likely

I can hear this meme in 50Hz… 😂

[–] gears@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I just realized that the mains hum would be different in 60Hz compared to 50Hz.. I wonder if it's noticeable

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

It's very noticable.

(Note: frequencies this low could cause discomfort or even damage to your ears, make sure your volume is at an appropriate level before hitting play, especially if you have headphones in)

I dunno about this. My microwave beeps 4 times.

Yeah it does 😏

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Mine does one and then if I take too long opening it after that, it does two really huffy ones.

I'm not showing off, I hate it. Stupid retro style clockwork. To do anything below 3 minutes you have to wind it over 3 minutes and back again. FUCK. And the red sticker that tells you that is unremovable, so the fucking retro style is ruined anyway. Hard to believe it was manufactured in this millennium.

I'm not. I long for the days I had one that went beep.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

mine beeps only once but it's a long one

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

It still hasn't stopped to this very moment

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

This is my new fav pick up line.
