Unpopular opinion: the microwave popcorn button.

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

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…

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.
