    Confirmed: Fynn is a time-traveller from the past.

    You can use microwaves for cooking, too! And they're so simple and convenient. Don't be a snob.

    I’m not being a snob for expressing a preference. You’re being very rude.

    I think it's pretty impressive you have the patience to cook every night. I love cooking, but come home from work so tired a lot that all I want to do is nuke something and curl up with a book.

    I don't actually have microwave meals that often, but I admit microwaves are super useful for reheating food. Hell I even use them for baking. Heating butter and chocolate together in a bowl is so much easier using a microwave on short blasts than waiting so much longer on a hob to heat it.

    I'm not sure what you meant by icky, though Fynn. What's icky about using a microwave?

    Nothing, Fynn is just larping that it isn't strange not to own a microwave in 2018. If nothing else just for reheating some meals. Although I will admit, depending on what you're reheating the oven can do a better job.

    But I don't always have 30 mins to preheat / cook my leftover pizza at 2:30 in the morning.

    I have never had a situation in my life where I thought to myself “damn I really wish I had a microwave right now”

    Like cool, of course stuff is for everyone. But I don’t think I’m particularly old fashioned for not having a microwave. I just never had the need for one in any capacity whatsoever. Nor am I criticizing anyone for having one. And I’m still a bit salty for being called a snob for that

    You guys are complete dicks. And that’s downright sadistic of you, Psy. You know I can’t even afford a baby bed for my baby.

    I'm sorry Fynn

    Besides, that's not even snobby. Not really. Snobby is owning an aga.

    I never owned a microwave for the longest time ever when I lived alone either. Those meals are trout and though my wife has one now, I prefer using a toaster oven or a stove top to cook and reheat things too. I just use the microwave if I’m in a hurry now.

    You think I take pleasure in this? I look at you, all microwaveless, and my heart breaks. But sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. You've felt it, haven't you? All your life it feels as though something is missing, like you're not really whole. You're so close to it, like it's just around the next corner, but somehow you never quite get there.

    Well, what if what's missing is a microwave?! What if all you need to attain spiritual fulfilment with your life is to listen to the soothing hum of radiation heating up your food? Dare to dream, Fynn.
