Kat <3 🏳️⚧️ @propellerhead.bsky.social · 18/08/2026A minute is too long, 30 seconds is too short. 45 seconds is the optimal time to reheat most foods in the microwave. And yet it's the interval that doesn't have a button. This is my official petition to add a 45 second button to the microwave. 5639123
Doug van den Ham @dvdham.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Regardless of what button is added, I'll stop it with 3 seconds left and not clear the display. 090
FrostieBalls @frostieballs.bsky.social · 18/08/202615 second button > 30 second button I wish this was the type of daily discourse across the planet instead of wars. 😂 0140
nobsforgma.bsky.social @nobsforgma.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Sorry but is your day so busy that it's tough for you to press "4" and then "5" and "Start"? 220
Jon @jonjive.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I saw a post once claim that the poster set their microwave for 99:99 an just ran it for whatever amount of time and stopped it leaving the remaining time set for next time so they only had to set their microwave occasionally back to 99:99. 020
Mr. Surly @nuancesystems.com · 19/08/2026I just do double digits because it's fast: 11, 22, etc. For 45, just do 44. 000
XavierCoogat @xavier-coogat.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I can get away with most things heated for 1 minute. Heating my coffee though takes exactly 1 min 40 seconds lol. 000
jazzrat2000 AKA Bonsai anonymous @jazzrat2000.bsky.social · 18/08/2026That would be easier than just pushing the 4 and the 5 I'm for it 020
Tullibee @tullib.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Just microwave for a minute and spend more time looking at your phone while it cools off. Assuming you’re at work, it’s either your lunch break or the boss’s money. 000
Devin Rooney @devinrooney.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I had a boss when I was 19 who told me to set the microwave for 44 seconds instead of 45 in order to save the milliseconds it takes to move from 4 to 5, which is silly, but also feels like a little cheat code and I still use it from time to time 20 years later lol 030
Agnes of Caerbanogg 🐇🐹🦜🐈⬛ @agnes-bunnypants.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Totally depends on the microwave because 45 seconds sometimes is too hot for reheating foods in ours 000
ɖɠɠųɬıɛཞཞɛʑ 🏔️ @coloradodgg.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I am old enough to remember when there wasn't a 30 second button. We had to enter it MANUALLY. 😂 000
Bill Himmelstoss @proteinspill.com · 19/08/2026some microwaves let you reprogram the 30s button. we've set ours to 10 for heating pet food 000
eldercleavage.bsky.social @eldercleavage.bsky.social · 18/08/202631, 34, 41, 43, 45, 67, 71, 99, 2:13, 2:31, 2:34, 3:41, and, finally, 3:42. ...but, 45 is in that mix! 👍 000
Julie 🏳️⚧️ 🏴☠️ 🏳️🌈 Montoya @juliemontoya20.bsky.social · 19/08/2026The timer on my microwave packed up a long time ago. But the magnetron still works. So now I just switch it on at the wall, spend the cooking time staring at the kitchen clock, then switch off the microwave. 000
Deadhawk In Flames @bizarroland.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Press the minute button and the 30 second button. Cook something. Your microwave is primed to cook the next thing 000
Stuart #FBPE 🇪🇺 @jacobitebyname.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Just dial it in manually.... DUH! Are you blonde? 000
lororos.bsky.social @lororos.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Should be a 15 second button that adds 15 every time it’s pushed… 171
@frederickbralorne 📎 @frederickbralorne.bsky.social · 18/08/2026My microwave likes to give varied responses despite what buttons I press. It even chooses to come on of its own accord from time to time. The internet has advised that I pull the plug when not in use. In any case an additional button would not help me ... I'm pretty sure ... 110
Goth Wyatt Earp @eighthsamurai.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It will de-pain the buttocks of many Disabled people in the same manner as the day they added $5's to atms. 020

A.R. Pygmalion @arpygmalion.bsky.social · 18/08/2026But then my brain would insist that 37.5 second is the ideal time, knowing me 000
Dirty Myrtle & the Imaginaries @dirty-myrtle.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Why anyone would radiate food is beyond me - gross 000
AutumnBaum🟣🏳️⚧️🟣 @autumnbomb357.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I would point out that 45 seconds is prime for your microwave, but not mine. I feel as though microwave manufacturers should allow for a custom time set for one button. It'll be one of the ones you can push, and you can set a time for it. Just your go-to, you know? 010
JB @jamseblack.bsky.social · 18/08/2026With mine you just puch the number of seconds, then Start. No other button needed. It's genius 010
straightarrow67.bsky.social @straightarrow67.bsky.social · 19/08/2026They should have buttons for 1 minute 30 seconds and 15 seconds. If you want to heat something for 30 seconds, one button. Forty five seconds, two buttons. One minute :45 you push three buttons. 000
MrBeeHill @davidbeehill.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Check out this video, "LG microwave with a slide timer animation" share.google/LCMLvADOKTmv...share.googleLG SMART Inverter Microwave Oven 000
Stagger McTipsy, AKA Captain Awesome Motherfucker @staggermctipsy.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Confession: I never use the preset times on my microwave and I never heat for the exact time on the instructions. 000
Rob @spideyhood.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I hit the 30 second button stand there for 15 seconds and hit the add 30 seconds button. 110
Satan @666therealsatan666.bsky.social · 18/08/2026FWIW: You could hit 4 twice-in rapid succession-and that would ALMOST be like having a single 45 button. I'm sure you'd agree....44 is "close enough" 000
Drake Mallard 🦆🦆🪿 @drakemallard91.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I hit the 1 minute button and stop it at 15 seconds. I hate listening to 5 beeps. I have time. I’m retired. 000
Fr. Steven Clark @frstevenclark.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I turn the power down to 7 and then zap it for a minute. 120
Dave Durant @davedurant.bsky.social · 19/08/2026No, no, no. You need to have a bit extra on the timer so you can arrive before the annoying beeping starts. 000
Alexander Rooksmoor @arcrooksmoor.bsky.social · 18/08/2026For baked beans it is 90 seconds. Fortunately ours has a knob which you can advance or decrease the time in increments of one second, so we can do 45 seconds if we choose, indeed 44 or 46 as well. 010
Blaine @blainem.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Honestly my most used MW time for freezer food across different microwaves is 2:45, and I'm more likely to do 1 min for convenience, and then 1:45, 2:45, 3:45, [...] N:45 The thing is, we described time for ourselves arbitrarily but physics doesn't give a shit. Does this matter? Not really. Still. 000
Stephen Boisvert 🇨🇦 🟦⭐⭐⭐⭐🟦 @srboisvert.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Typing in the 45 and hitting the cook button yourself makes it artisanal microwaving. 120
socalbookish.bsky.social @socalbookish.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Just need a 15 second button so i can push it 3 times 010
JustAGuyFromKY @justaguyfromky.bsky.social · 18/08/2026The “30 sec” button should be a 15 second button 020
momo941.bsky.social @momo941.bsky.social · 19/08/2026My microwave is perpetually on 15 because I always hit 30 twice! 000
Julie The Real Jules @jtrjules.bsky.social · 19/08/202690 seconds at 50% power is longer, yes, but it's a gentler re-heat. I never use the full power to reheat food. 000
