Panel 1: A man stands next to a microwave. Narrator: "Congratulations, your microwave has gained sentience." Microwave: "Hello!". Panel 2: Narrator: "There is no clear benefit to this, and the situation does raise ethical questions." Panel 3: Man: "Can I return it?" Panel 4: Narrator: "It, huh? That's kind of a person, now." The man grimaces. Panel 5: Narrator: "But mainly, you're outside the 30-day return window." Man: "Shit." Microwave: "I have thoughts and emotions."
