I've never fully understood how the 'popcorn' button on microwaves work (I've read different things that may or may not all be true depending on make/model), but my current one always runs for exactly 3 seconds too long and ever so slightly burns the popcorn.

It's not burned enough to throw it out, but it does give a noticeable "burnt popcorn" smell that kind of ruins my day.

So instead of pressing "popcorn" and doing something else, I have to stand there and watch it to hit 'cancel' in time.

Sometimes I think the internet needs an Alec symbol to shine anytime Technology Connections needs to be invoked.

I imagine it would be like the bat signal, but look like hand painted LED Christmas lights or something.

I don't know what it would look like but I know what it would sound like -- a heat-pump compressor starting up.

It could be the silhouette of a sunbeam radiant control toaster

Deep cut, and I appreciate the hell out of that!

TLDW: The moisture sensor might be on the right side of the microwave, and the bag was pointing left when the steam was released.

But that was definitely worth a watch.

Would that mean best practice is to point the most-likely-to-pop-open end towards the center of the rotating plate?

Thia is exactly the video I was thinking of. I only came across his channel recently, and it is an absolute pleasure.

If you haven’t watched the dishwasher one, drop everything and go do it now!

I have watched this man explain the refrigeration cycle, where he dicusses what latent heat of vaporization is in so many videos, so many times over, and I still could not tell you how it works.

But that doesn't mean he's not good at explaining it, it just means I have too much of a caveman brain to understand it.

This is definitely one of the best YouTube channels. I should probably consider being a patron, tbh.

He is also really active on the fedis so that's a plus
