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

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

Most (probably) all microwaves can be silenced. Usually by holding the "2" botton for 3 seconds.
Wtf... Today I learned...
I learned it on TikTok. It worked 🤷♂️
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.
New fear unlocked.
i just hit the 'cancel' button
not the reason why i dont own one but seems like a good excuse
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.
Thats what big microwave wants you to think! /s
