@futurebird during a power outage you can bridge the two ports to zap some ramen

@futurebird Because Universal Serial Buses powered by Love aren't as effecient as those powered by Microwaves.

Power your anti-microwave vest and hat while watching the microwave cook your food, clay figurines, or anti-magic typing glove that's become saturated with vibes.

@futurebird You are not allowed to connect the microwave to the mains when you use it in reversed operational mode (microwave to electric power). Thus, you need these USB power outlets.

@futurebird it's to help you cook your thanksgiving turkey. the other end goes into the thing that pops out when the turkey's done. yum! two ports so you can cook two turkeys.

@khleedril @futurebird I meant new control electronics *for the microwave* to replace that silly keypad and LCD; sorry if that wasn't clear

@futurebird you can connect multiple microwaves together and cook faster.

@glyph @futurebird

that usb port delivers enough power to cook the turkey

[rogerbw@discordian.social]

@futurebird Otherwise the front panel would be waterproof.

[shovemedia@triangletoot.party]

@futurebird some people prefer to attach a manual keyboard so they can punch in cook times with more thonk

[paulc@mstdn.social]
