#1 That's because the clock is always on. You don't nuke stuff 24/7. Very misleading.

Geraldine,
A typical microwave uses about 0.5 watts in standby, or about 3 kilowatts/year. If its full power is 1000 watts, that would be the equivalent of 3 hours of operation over the course of a year. Since there are 180 minutes in 3 hours, and about 360 days in a year, that would be about the same as using the microwave for 30 seconds a day, or 1 minute every other day.
So, it all depends on your usage pattern, but a typical microwave gets used a lot more than that.

just unplug it. you shold do it with most electric stuff like charger (phone or laptop) or television. just get an extension cord with a switch. it saves alot of money.

Nope. Most switched off devices consume so little that I’d take you 20 years to save the money for the cord with a switch

Maybe in the USofA. Everywhere else on the planet, power actually costs quite a bit of money.

also, most countries don't cook with a microwave by default.

#5 sounds like a nice story, but it's not a fact.
Wiki states Mount Everest to be 29,031 ft - and before measuring this height, there were many attempts of measuring it, leading to very different results.
There was no "it's this seemingly suspicious number, so let's change it a little".

Osaforum,
it's even worse than that. I think it's about even bits and bytes, and so your stupid dancing video on tiktok can easily exceed all information known to mankind until 2000...

#9 That means that the poorest people are funding banks. The most expensive life is always the poor life, but there is no way to get out of it since people accept that poor exist.
#16 As a dyslexic, I can guess that their first language is the one they are dyslexic in. The second language is coded differently in the brain and therefore the brain coding style has improved by the time they learn it.

Virdie,
not giving a flying f@#k about something is not necessarily the same thing as accepting. On top of that, to most people, being poor isn't anything they spend time thinking about until they become poor themselves - when it's too late.
