Why are there usb ports on the microwave?

@futurebird for when I am hungry, I love eating USB ports :3

@futurebird I was told this was a 2000W microwave why is this charging so slowly

@futurebird To hasten the arrival of the apocalypse.

@SunnJax @futurebird microwave? Claw machine? YES

@futurebird so you can plug in one of those usb mug warmers to warm up your coffee, since there's no other convenient way to warm it up nearby

@futurebird it’s for the Ultra Scrumptious Brownies attachment, sold separately

@futurebird To daisy chain the rest of the smart kitchen appliances.
The microwave’s connected to the air fryer,
the air fryer’s connected to the coffee maker,
the coffee maker’s connected to the juicer…

@futurebird The ports allow the microwave to cook USB drives.

Wireless charging.

You actually only plug one end of the USB cable into the port and it charges the mobile at the other end of the room. The cable acts as a microwave antenna, therefore it makes sense to integrate mid-range wireless charging (3-7 meters distance) into the microwave. Also the klystron in a microwave has enough power for such an application. You couldn't fit a klystron in a typical charger...

@futurebird that's for plugging in a GPS unit to discipline the magnetron frequency.

@futurebird Convenient way to power the Raspberry Pi/Arduino when you start prototyping new control electronics!

@futurebird for charging the new monthly subscription fee that all microwaves will soon have.

@futurebird to plug in the kettle!

@futurebird stupid question. You need to charge your food (or Hamster) before heating it. Cold food (or Hamsters) are known to be low in energy, as the calories are not active in a cold state, so you'll have to charge it Up. As an alternative you can also put a (at least 5000 mAh) fully charged Li-Ion battery into the microwave. Works basically the Same. You're Welcome.

Oh, and just to be on the safe side: if your house burns down, it must've been because you didnt use USB 3.0 or the battery wasn't fully charged.

Though, frankly, I think you just got this picture from @NanoRaptor.

[rlstone4dems@mastodon.social]

@futurebird In all seriousness: I wonder what the US ports are for?
