I think a lot of people in the west are kind of sleeping on the capabilities of microwaves. They’re fantastic.

That’s not an endorsement of AI.

After having 2 microwaves barely lasting more than a year in sequence, I decided no never have one again and rely on a small electric oven. It's not the same, but it's also great to use and it's lasting 5 years so far. I don't even miss a microwave anymore

Wow. That’s some shit luck, and I definitely get why you’d choose to not have one.

Don't think we've had one last less than a decade.

But if you don't need one, you don't need one. No need to clutter your home with another appliance just because it can occasionally heat up leftovers in a minute or something. I find it convenient but I've also lived without it and it was fine.
