An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I also have a microwave from the 80s, got it from my dad and he bought it when he was young.
I hope it never dies. I love the Star Trek-like touchpad and the beautiful CCFL display. 😍
It's a Panasonic as well, I even have the ridiculous microwave cookbook somewhere, which contains a lot of really bad meal photos.
I have a NN-7506
Still going strong.
Not sure it the production date is 87, production run 5. Or (7)8, run 7005.
Either way it is old and still good

Keypad? I knew this guy who had a microwave with a mechanical dial timer.
FWIW, I replaced a 1988 microwave in 2008. The difference in performance was incredible. It no longer takes 5+ minutes to boil a cup of water. I heartily recommend a new microwave. Mine is a Sharp because I wanted the sensor reheat feature. I love it. Almost 20 years, and still great.
Boiling water in a microwave is such a US thing. Must really suck to not have 230V lines, cos with an electric kettle you can boil water pretty quickly.
Mine is around 35y old, got it from my parents who don't use a microwave. Still going strong.
My Mom refused to have a microwave until the stove broke one Thanksgiving.
So my dad brought over the turkey in the morning, and I put it in my oven to cook. They had made most of the sides the day before, and they just needed heating up, so I sent him home with the microwave. The stove top still worked, so my Mom could make anything that required that, like the gravy.
I showed up with the turkey, and everything heated up easily in the microwave, and my mom was hooked. She had a microwave within a few days.
Then we went through that period where she cooked EVERYTHING in the microwave, even though the stove got repaired. I'd go over there for Sunday dinner, and literally everything was cooked in the microwave, including whatever meat there was.
"I cooked EVERYTHING in the microwave!"
"Yeah, Mom, I can tell. You know, your stove still works, you don't have to cook EVERYTHING in the microwave, right?"
Sorry for your loss. It wasn't just good, it was the best
Hey, fucker. I'm still only 42 :-(
Sadly your next one will be but a child when it dies.
43 years is legendary—Zappy lived a full, honorable life 🫡
Nooooo rip, Zappy did a good job
Oh no! My Panasonic microwave is 10 years younger, i hope it lasts as long, because it is just the best.
