A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

My microwave is the other way around, the door can always be opened. And if you have the timer set, it will stay lit up and spinning, even with the door open.
So OP's method wouldn't work for me. I got scared the first time, but I think the magnetron turns off when the door is opened... but I haven't tried testing that theory.
Uh no your microwave is broken and you should get rid of it.
Your microwave is the reason that the child lock thing is now the default. If the door sensor fails and you open the door the microwave just keeps running and blasts your face with ~~liquid hot magma~~ non ionizing radiation.
Smarter companies just use two door sensors and error out if either fails.
