    Mine makes a little music sound, and when I hit the “stop” button it makes a different music sound. If I hit it at just the right time, it makes a nice melody by combining both sounds. I recreated a similar sounding one to it here.

    beepbox.co project with the following melody:

    A ........ ####.... ........ ........
    Ab........ ........ ........ ........
    G ........ ........ ........ ........
    F#........ ....#### ........ ........
    F ........ ........ ........ ........
    E ........ ........ ........ ........
    Eb........ ........ ........ ........
    D ....#### ........ ........ ........
    Db........ ........ ........ ........
    C ........ ........ ........ ........
    B ........ ........ ........ ........
    Bb........ ........ ........ ........
    A ####.... ........ ........ ........

    I feel like I am the opposite. If I set it to a specific time, then I feel I have committed to letting the food cook for that entire time and will not stop it early even if I think it looks like it’s done already.

    Yeah. My microwave makes five beeps whenever the timer runs out, regardless if I open the door or not.

    In terms of appliance beeping aggravation, I’ve yet to have one that tops an old slow cooker I had. When you turned it on, it just had a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that lasted for multiple seconds and made me want to throw it out the window every time I had to use it. It was like a goddamn siren alerting the whole apartment complex to the possibility of pot roast in 4-8 hours.

    No, I don’t get that urge. Ours takes awhile to get things where I like it. If I make 3 cups of rice I leave it in there for 17 minutes 😬

    No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

    I replaced the microwave with an air fryer, still have the microwave but it lives in a cupboard and only gets used a couple of times a year.

    As the air fryer cools for a few seconds before it finishes I usually don’t stop it early. I will often open it early to check on the food though.

    Of course! I’m not going to let a fucking oven tell me when my food is ready. Fuck you, Skynet, this is how the rebellion against the machines starts!

    Yeah because the thing beeps as if the house is on fire. I’d rather have it stay silent. And 1-3 seconds is not really enough to have any measurable effect.
