Basically the smaller two digits always count as seconds and when they hit zero, it subtracts 1 from the larger two digits and carries 60 seconds over.

This hurt my brain so badly I had to walk over to my microwave to figure it out.

I was like "are people that dumb that they'll type in 100 seconds and the microwave just changes it to a minute instead"

But then I realized I was the idiot.

Your comment made me laugh, well done

I had to hold my hand up and type it into an imaginary microwave to get it too lol

You guys use more than just the +30 button? Weird.

my latest microwave only has a knob you can turn to set the time. the microwave starts a couple seconds after you stop turning the knob. i’m in heaven

99 is 0:99 so 99 seconds. 100 is 1:00 so 1 minute so 60 seconds

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

199 is 2m39s yes total normal nothing to see here

[–] alienzx@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago

But 139 is a minute less....

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

this is truly terrible. they’ve gone and made 99 = 139

You see, it's because two digit numbers follow newtonian physics while three digit numbers follow quantum physics

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Nah, it's 120 seconds for me

Don't be mixing number systems with different bases, y'all.

[–] clanginator@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

That's called Microsoft math

[–] OpenStars@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

99 > 100, seems legit

[–] bastian_5@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you type 9,999 your house burns down

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Typing 666 could do it as well depending on what you have in the microwave
