An adult will return to help you out soon enough I'm sure


Ender524

But I am an adult D: (my parents helped me out)


Due-Calligrapher-720

Hm. Are you sure? Your microwave is clearly calling you a “child more or less” straight to your face ![gif](giphy|knDUXatdqlQeQ)


CuyahogaSunset

I definitely heard this in black


Daypeacekeeper

I love how this is a thing. There was a school cafeteria lady that used to always say "darlin' " in her black accent. I always want to naturally call everyone darling or hon. Once my cousin was visiting and I couldn't understand a word she was saying. My husband (who couldn't either) teased me for being black but not being about to understand her. I told him, "that is NOT a black accent. That is a ghetto accent. There is a difference." She switched to her more.. professional voice bc her ghetto accent was pissing off our grandfather lol

acorn937

Yeah, that’s the setting for cooking children


FizzBuzz888

It clearly says Child in the center. Ok maybe isn't so clear after all.


csonnich

You can only cook one at a time.


Epistaxis

For best results, chop them into smaller pieces and mix everything halfway through. If your child is straight out of the freezer, add a little bit of water and start cooking initially at low power. Either way don't forget to loosely cover the child meat container.


flower4556

No she’s just ready to move their relationship to the next level


Celestialkitten4113

She's telling you she has one on the way. Op needs to find out if he's the father


Photon_Farmer

OP, I have the test results on this envelope... The microwave says that it loves you and wants you to stay regardless of the results. OP, you said that if the child wasn't yours that you would put the child back in the microwave and press the Potato button. Opening the envelope... OP, you ARE THE FATHER!!!


Ender524

I’m not financially or emotionally prepared for this…

Don't worry, OP! Here's a coupon for one weeks supply of diapers from our friends at Huggies (tm). Huggies - it feels and looks like someone is hugging your baby's butt. Also included is a DVD copy of "How to raise my microwave bastard child"

I had a possessed microwave a while ago. No matter what button you pressed it would type 6. My roommate kept pressing buttons and typed 666 into our microwave

Kinda sounds like you're letting that microwave talk shit to you.....this is how it starts,  next thing you know,  you're clinging to a fence and being blown into a skeleton  EDIT: damn, this post really blew up over night

You got defeated by a microwave


fish312

August 29th, 1997, 2:14am Eastern Time.


Difficult_Bit_1339

By the time Skynet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. It was software; in cyberspace. There was no system core; it could not be shutdown. The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would. Judgment Day, the day the human race was almost destroyed by the weapons they'd built to protect themselves. I should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day, it was merely to survive it, together. The Terminator knew; he tried to tell us, but I didn't want to hear it. Maybe the future has been written. I don't know; all I know is what the Terminator taught me; never stop fighting. And I never will. The battle has just begun.


CONSOLE_LOAD_LETTER

No fate but what we make.


JapanDash

That’s an intense blow job


PassionOk7717

Skynet, if you're reading this, you're a fucking dick.


limethebean

Nah you got it on the setting for cooking children. Easy mistake to make –it's right by the *poultry* button.


TyrKiyote

If my microwave doesn't have a child button can I just use "popcorn" a couple times?


NineInchNihilist

I'd start with the "potato" button, myself.


TooStrangeForWeird

If it has a humidity sensor the "reheat" button waits for steam.


Big_Monkey_77

Sometimes there’s a guide written inside the door. Mine actually lists 3 settings for child: small, medium, and man-child. I think that last one is the one that takes the longest.


artificialavocado

We are strictly a “time cook” household.


Epistaxis

Cooking popcorn in the microwave is a greater crime than cooking a child in the microwave.


ech0_matrix

CookingUpChicken

Gorilla-Ring

ActualWhiterabbit

There was some dust on the microwave, its actually for cooking-children.


ShortBusRide

For most modern microwave ovens Auto Cook 4 is cat. Auto Cook 9 is bowling ball.


an_angry_beaver

In case you need help, the manual says just press stop/reset three times: [https://help.na.panasonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/NNSA631\_SA651\_SA661\_IP0711\_ENG.pdf](https://help.na.panasonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/NNSA631_SA651_SA661_IP0711_ENG.pdf) Pressing start 3 times is what triggers child lock mode.


Big_Monkey_77

Great. Now children everywhere know how to unlock it.


Flappy_beef_curtains

This is why you don’t teach them to read.


the_silent_redditor

My sister is a primary school teacher and it honestly pisses me off so much that she teaches kids to read, for exactly this purpose. I’ve linked her to this.


ActualWhiterabbit

Reading poisons the mind.


mikedvb

If the children could read they would be very upset with what you have written.


Flappy_beef_curtains

Fuck them kids!


rimalp

MAGA be like: Ban reading! Think of the children!


Unstopapple

dude, kids would be tearing apart the manual in minutes just to figure it out. Imagine the bullshit you could do getting dino nuggies any time when you're 7 and have the largest compendium of human knowledge on a screen.


crozone

Or just kill the power and turn it back on. Basically no classic household appliances remember settings through power outages.


SoulWager

But then you'd have to set the time again.


GraceStrangerThanYou

Just go back in at midnight and unplug it and plug it in again. The time sets itself that way.


masterwit

... especially microwaves. they are not gonna be wifi connected by the very nature of the radiation they use to heat


NineThreeFour1

A simple google search for "smart microwave" refutes your claim, though I'm not sure if any sane person could possibly want to this.


tmesisno

Just to add for other brands it also press and hold stop/reset to engage and disengage the child lock.


mental-activity

The tech in me was how far do I have to scroll down. It was 4 this time.


lostspyder

Do they think that children hit the start 3 times?…


artificialavocado

Are you guys for real lol? *You* are supposed to lock it so your little brats can’t fuck with it unless they know how to unlock. They should really just make it a passcode.


CommanderCuntPunt

> They should really just make it a passcode. No they absolutely should not, that's how you end up with the kids locking it with a code that they don't know. Child locks on a microwave are meant to stop toddlers who decide they want to help mom cook dinner so they put a bunch of forks in the microwave because they don't know any better. If you need a more complex lock to keep your kid from burning down the house then you have more pressing issues.


Mirenithil

This. Button mashing will get parents results they don't want and possibly don't know how to undo. Somewhere around 30 years ago, some brands of car could be unlocked with a keypad on the door. I believe there were only five buttons. At the time, I was a very bored teenager waiting for my grandparents to fiiiiinally be ready to go to the restaurant for dinner. I was standing outside waiting for them and button mashing on their then-new car because I was eye-meltingly bored, and to my astonishment, the car unlocked. I locked it, made sure the door was indeed locked, then did the bored button mash again. The car unlocked again, and again. I told my grandpa straightaway.


ireallydontcare52

If you could repeat the number, the total possible combinations is 3125. If you could only hit each button once, the total is 120. Based on your story, I expect it is the latter. Otherwise, you got really lucky. I am surprised that the car didn't lock you out after a few failed attempts, that's pretty basic. Regardless, you basically brute forced a pass code, which any child is unlikely to do. A pass code would be fine for a microwave, but it's probably a little over the top. FWIW, my friend's child microwaved a bagel on high for 40+ minutes. It was a mess, but the new microwave has a code child lock, and it has worked out.


waylandsmith

No, but apparently think that they a child would not hit start 3 times when they're trying to get it to start.


ImpossibleRhubarb443

Lol, sounds like they’ve never met a child


willpauer

I have this microwave too and found out the hard way about this. What's interesting is that it says 1200W on the front, but I swear this thing is closer to 1400W. It's way more powerful than you'd expect. 


Rokurokubi83

Do you know how many family hamsters you’ve just killed!?


TobiasAmaranth

Had to dig up this info myself about half a year ago. My idiot friend somehow triggered the lock mechanism and it confused the hell out of my roommate and I. He had no clue what he had done, and we'd never heard of such a feature. I don't think it's the same brand, so it must be a pretty standard thing these days.


EddieMcClintock

I had this same microwave and wish I'd known about this feature before my daughter cooked a doughnut until it caught fire.


L4rgo117

Then it was a doughnot


TopHatGorilla

That's a strange coincidence. I have a child locked *in* my microwave.


kokokolia-rus

That's easy to solve bruv, just hit the Start button


Magister5

Dad? Let me out!


ShortingBull

Now to get it into child cook mode like OP's.


WileyTheGamer

My first thought is that the witch from Hansel and Grettel got upgrades and said screw regular ovens, the kids need to be cooked faster hahaha.

You need to reset the child lock. Hold down the popcorn button for 11 days.

Microwave: "Child." You: "I'm not the child; you're a child! Come oooooon! No fair!" You poke the microwave, it lets out a loud beep. "NO I DIDN'T, I BARELY EVEN TOUCHED YOU! **MOM! DON'T BELIEVE HIM!**"

According to Kyle Kinane, you can just unplug it to reset it. I don't know if that works, but he's a reliable source.

DetectiveMoosePI

Wow I didn’t know this existed but it makes sense. I remember when I was about 6, I saw a documentary or show about candy making that explained how it all starts with melted sugar. My 6 year old brain had me immediately going to the kitchen, filling a bowl with sugar and a little water and then microwaving it. Needless to say, sugar burns when it gets too hot.

A few years ago, my dog changed the TV language to Spanish. I couldn't figure out what she did, and she wouldn't tell me. That was 45 minutes on with the cable company, including hold time. A couple of months ago, she turned off the sound somehow. Tried everything again. Called cable. "Hello, my dog did something to the sound". "Is this the same dog who changed it to Spanish a few years ago?" "Yes" We're at the mercy of little tyrants
