Why are there usb ports on the microwave?

@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.

@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.

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

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

@Mungencakes

What do you influence the food to do exactly?

I can't tell where the typo is in that sentence. Elegant.

@ehproque @futurebird Why does it need security updates? Because someone could connect a malicious device to a USB port, of course!

@SoftwareTheron @futurebird I didn't notice the typo lmao but I like it better this way, it's like I'm giving the microwave a gift.
a creepy gift.
but a gift nonetheless

@futurebird to get your food delivered to your USB capable gaming station once it is hot

@llewelly
You haven't tried cooking them, have you?

@pthane
That only works if you reduce the frequency of the microwaves, though.

@futurebird for directly cooking hotdogs with electricity, reminiscent of The Hot Dogger from the 1970s . Just plug the other end of the USB cord directly into the hot dog!!

@futurebird there is no right answer. This is a trick question!

[softwaretheron@mas.to]

@futurebird
That's where the cook comes out when they're expressed.

@lapis
People remember the creepy gifts.

If you beatbox too close to the microwave you'll burn the popcorn.

@futurebird Because if they were in the microwave you'd end up cooking your phone
