Why are there usb ports on the microwave?

@futurebird

You connect one USB port directly to the other so that the microwave oven can power itself without needing a mains socket.

Microwaves can be enticed out by microsurfboards and tiny tiny coloured shirts.

@futurebird So the microwave can connect to the Internet while it's running the magnetron, because that interferes with the wifi. The microwave has to connect to the Internet to download security updates. It needs security updates because it is connected to the Internet.

One can also plug in one's phone and open the microwave app to use custom one-touch button programs such as "leg of goat roast", "tuna casserole with narrow egg noodles", and "tuna casserole with wide egg noodles".

@llewelly @futurebird no, they are clearly USB ports, not cereal ports

This is my favorite explanation so far. @futurebird

@futurebird employee lounge microwaves are especially fond of fish

@a2_4am @futurebird the "universal" just means they can take lucky charms or count chocula or shredded wheat just as well.

@futurebird To plug the Arch installer usb drive into it of course!

What the hell? Who's putting cereal in the microwave and how are there enough of them to justify making this feature?

@futurebird how else you gonna microwave your data now that CDs and hard drives are going away?

@futurebird@sauropods.win this is a high security model, it requires two YubiKeys to start
