It’s less than twenty minutes. How much brain rot do you have?

There are more reasons than just brain rot for not wanting to spend 20 minutes of your free time watching a video about popcorn settings on microwaves.

What a bizarre thing to say. What else are you going to do? /s

I watched a while ago so I may misremember.

Cheap ones are just a timer that works for most common microwave popcorn packages.

Good ones detect the first popped kernel and then go for another 30s, as stated on most microwave popcorn packages

iirc there are also some that detect humidity and infer when to stop from that somehow

That might be how the first kernel popping gets detected.

I had no idea. I always assumed mine just did 3:30. I need to check.
