Yeah. I know myself too well to use this "hack"
Have you ever burnt tea (to dust from liquid and melted kettle handle in the process) while reheating it?
'tis but one of my life's achievements
I have fallen asleep while boiling hotdogs to wake up in a smoky mess with black tar hotdog welded to the bottom of the pot. And it was my brother's house.

I set my microwave to 2:00 and I'm always back in time to open it at exactly 1:59. So I think I'm going to use this hack.

Ahh here we go, I have to admit this.
I'm on my 3rd microwave. Ramen noodles caught fire twice. I forgot to add water once, go figure. The second time, I put them in for 33 minutes and 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Started playing Xbox and forgot until I got hungry again and heard the smoke alarms going off. Flames were coming out of the microwave door so high they burned the cabinets above black, it was a brand new microwave. 3rd time was a metal coffee mug. Who makes a F-ing metal coffee cup so you can't reheat your coffee. It was cool watching the electric sparks and lines fly though.
No regrets. It was the grandparents microwaves. LOL.

i don't like to move my finger around, so all my microwave times are of the 44, 77, 2:22, 4:44... format
Same vibe but I only use the +30s button to enter cook time. Bonus points to microwaves that automatically start when you press +30.

Yep, the cooking gets going while I press the +30 button additional times, saving precious second. Wish I could also change the power level while it's running. update: That actually does work! +30 all the foods!

Just microwave everything for a M.I.N.U.T.E. Mean Ideal Nuke Unit Time Estimate. That's how the minute was invented back in the 1950s.
I would end up looking at my microwave thinking "How can the time be 67:36? It's waaaaaay past my bedtime."
Samsung smart microwave wifi telemetry fears this person.
Fuck Samsung. They're spending money designing this crap instead of designing appliances that last longer than two years.
Telemetry? Oh God. Why Samsung? And why end users are you connecting your microwave to the internet?
Either way, it is kinda funny like seeing a random Win2000 in the Steam surveys.

Weird answer: body parts! I have what i have and measuring it isnt going to make me feel better. I do the things i need to do to increase muscle, decrease fat, and maximize happiness and longevity.
Measuring leads to comparison leads to disappointment
"Comparison is the theif of joy."
But your one was fine too, I guess.
I measure my body so I can order clothes that will fit correctly. But I agree with the other stuff.
I shop once a week and buy all the food for the week. At the end of the week, I have a nearly empty fridge.
I don't want to run out of ingredients, so I divide the weight on the package by seven, and weigh each one as I go. So I know I can have 120g of frozen blueberries each day, 60g of parmesan, 120g of broccoli, 90g of brussel sprouts, 30g of cream in my coffee for each of five coffees a day, etc. I'm happy when on the last day I don't need to weigh anything.
I didn't use to be this way, it just sort of happened.
So the opposite of never measuring anything!
I once heard of someone who would do a regular shopping, and take everything and put it in a stew. Meat, vegetables, fruits, cheese, bread... Whatever was bought that day. I guess that's one way to avoid measuring everything separately.

Just press the +30 sec button over and over, he's going to burn down the house when he forgets. 💀
Damn I wish my 1995 microwave had this.
oh no my friend, as a product designer let me tell you user count clicks, more than 3 is bad UX and they're lost! /s

The one at my work has never reached zero.
Like the code in Lost, we keep it from running out. Nobody knows what will happen if it does.

I'll sometimes take a nap, 30 min before I have to go out. No alarm.
Bold
Those are very long minutes!
metric minutes
Firemen love this one simple trick!
I wish I could do this, but my microwave resets to zero after about 3 minutes of being left with any residual time.
I’m also a 2:22, 55, 77, 99, etc. user.

The sentence is life in prison but each offender only has to serve a couple years and then they get swapped out with the next one in the queue.
Garlic is understandable, I use a shit ton... But if it's an "extract" it's definitely getting measured. Maybe I'm just picky about my baked goods.

This would drive me crazy, just seeing that start blinking non stop instead of the time like sane people.
