I was thinking they set the machine to 135, didn't realize it was F, and as a non-American assumed it was C. They are way over the medium-rare cook that would have produced though. Still, if they then microwaved them long enough to produce a sear effect on the outside, that would explain the end result.
Your theory that it's just rage bait makes a lot of sense though. This is the internet.
I mean the image does say 135 C
Yes, if the person erroneously conflated C and F on a machine that reads in F, they could have still typed C. Not saying that necessarily did happen, just that them typing C is consistent with that possible explanation,.
