Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I just gotta say it does not take three minutes for a microwave to heat water

It takes 3 minutes for me as well

then you got something wrong with your microwave, they literally work by heating the water molecules in the food

It all comes down to the wattage and how much water you are trying to boil. A 900W microwave takes about 2½ minutes to boil 300 ml of water. And thats without needing to heat the mug.

Like.. for 700W microwave it's about 50% efficiency. Don't know any other device this efficient in my house

My electric kettle boils 2 cups in 2 minutes.

depends on the wattage and the amount of water
