A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I open it to prevent the beeping. I'd press stop but that beeps too.

Most (probably) all microwaves can be silenced. Usually by holding the "2" botton for 3 seconds.

I learned it on TikTok. It worked 🤷‍♂️

I'll give that a go. Figured it just wasn't possible unless it has a button for it. Thanks for the tip.

Same. And there is no way to turn off the beeping. So frustrating.

Google the brand and/or model number of your microwave they usually can be silenced.

I had read recently that opening the door while it's running triggers an emergency shutoff that is quicker than normal operation. Apparently this is bad for the longevity of the microwave.
