Why are there usb ports on the microwave?

@futurebird connecting the smaller peripheral microwaves for more complex dishes

@futurebird @StealthyTango Did you try luring it out with a frozen Hot Pocket?

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@fp32 @futurebird I hate that I understand this reference.

[mysturji@mastodonapp.uk]

@futurebird
it gives your phone a boost for long distance calls

[satuelisa@mastodon.social]

@futurebird for when the lightbulb breaks, so that you don’t need to find a matching replacement; you put the led light in but you obviously get one with a flat cable so you can push the door closed over it (neither the port nor the plug can be inside since they have metal parts)

25-pin cereal ports stay crunchy in milk.

@maypop_neocities @a2_4am @futurebird Why, the Milky Way, of course ...

@futurebird For downloading evidence packs should the resultant food require launch of formal legal proceedings.

The second port provides additional capacity to cover the risk of physical and emotional harm inherent in certain British recipes (typically ones involving tripe)

@futurebird

To livestream the popcorn popping.

@futurebird@sauropods.win

To plug an MP3 player into so the microwave can have music while it works?
Maybe just to transfer tracks?

Or, download ports so the Food Polis can monitor what people have been eating.

Most absurd things I can think of offhand.

[electric_gumball@mastodon.social]

@futurebird
So you can download recipes off the internet & show the microwave what it's supposed to turn out like.

The microwave will still destroy the food, but it'll do it with full knowledge of it's crime.

[causeofbsod@wetdry.world]

@futurebird theres a USB type B port on the back, its a USB hub for your computer. When connected, the microwave is also exposed as a USB serial device allowing it to be computer controlled.

[causeofbsod@wetdry.world]

@futurebird wait i shouldnt give smart device manufacturers ideas they will do this but making it wifi connected [TM] instead

[mungencakes@kolektiva.social]

@futurebird Being a food influencer I know those are for web cams. So you can post your ramen heating up from two angles.

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@Mungencakes

What do you influence the food to do exactly?
