Depends on how shitty of a microwave it is. If it’s a cheap low power microwave it might not even start popping till 3+ minutes.

Bottom line, whatever you’re microwaving just stick around and pay attention. I was working at a school and overheard students talk about how much better warm chocolate chip cookies are, and one girl said she always warms them in the microwave if they’re room temp. One of her classmates was intrigued and said he’d give it a try. At some point in the evening he threw a few dry ass Chips Ahoy in the microwave and set it for 5 minutes.

The smell of burnt cookies is almost as bad as burnt popcorn. At least there wasn’t a fire.

I vote for him to stay in his own unmaintained home rather than making the other residents deal with him.

Growing up in the 80’s there were many Sunday afternoons that some form of rodeo was on. From what I remember they made it a timed event where the cowboy on horseback would run up next to the steer, then slide off the horse onto the steers neck, grabbing the horns and twisting to flip it to the ground. The timer stopped them the steers hip met the ground.

As a kid I thought “ok, so I guess that’s a thing.” As an adult I think about what it’s got to be like to be startled and try to run away, only for a shitty chiropractor to throw me to the ground, then celebrate.

The line is blocked between 2-3, so 3,6,&7 don’t get anything.
