An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Thank you for your service
Where else are you supposed to hang the hammocks from? Duh
Wait wait. Do people not just cook a potato and wipe it down after as cleaning?
My whole life when the microwave needs a wash, you put in a big potato in a bowl of water, like an Idaho, or up to three Yukon gold or baby reds (whatever fits your bowl).. you prick them with a fork, put them in a large soup bowl with like a half inch water, and microwave for 11 min on high.
Let sit for 3 min after it’s done and eat as a baked potato or mashed potato, whatever you like, it’s a potato.
But then importantly you clean the microwave because the steam from 11 minutes of potato loosens all the shit and you can just wipe it out.
Cleaning is as easy as making dinner sometimes.
Same thing but with half a lemon, allegedly the acidity helps to loosen stuck on garbage. Also maybe not 11min.
Upside, smells like lemon
Downside, no potato
Seems like work with no up-side, since no potato.
You could add a lemon to your potato for the same effect I guess. (But for real just the water vapor does the job 100% a bowl of water would do the job but making a potato wastes less energy because you are making food)
Goddamn definition of spotless.
Wow. Nice 'wave.
When society collapses, I can survive for days off the layers inside my microwave.
Mine looks the same.
Is that cardboard thing in the right supposed to be in there or can you take it out? I still have it in mine.
Supposed to be in there.
Yep, and it's to protect the waveguide from getting food and stuff in it.
Is this microwave like the apartment standard or something cause everyone in this post including me has this exact same microwave somehow lmao
Putting the “general” in “General Electric”
Lemme break your standard
I know right. Nope this is in a house.
Look at you the millionaire that has a dishwasher.

I've always handwashed the glass turntable. I'd be worried about water temperature changes making it crack, as some of them aren't that thick.
Ive just seen a styro pyro video where he makes a 20000 watt monster microwave, that damn plate survived him melting steel and titanium on top of it with that monster. I think these plates can survive a little bit of water.
I set something on fire in my microwave once and now people complain about the way it looks even when it's completely clean :(
Water and vinegar, microwave for a few minutes and wipe clean. Stupid easy.
There's a thing called hot momma that can be used for measuring, but idea is the same.
Now stage a diorama depicting the last supper using marshmallow Peeps, and then set that Kenmore to “Betray Jesus”…
What are those hooks for?
Some microwaves come with a metal rack so you can cook multiple things at once, like an oven has. However you better use the one designed for that microwave, as trying to substitute something different could introduce problems.
I just bought a new microwave after 15 years. The new one can convection roast, microwave, or a combo of both. They try to say it's 18 in one but it's just a microwave or convection cooking.
It's amazing for chicken since it spins while cooking so everything is cooked evenly all around.
I had a combi microwave back 20 or so years ago. It was my only oven at the time so it was ace. I found the grill+microwave (or maybe it was convection +grill+microwave) combination was wonderful for frozen chips.
So it zaps and ovens it at the same time?
I was about to ask why was that microwave so wide but now it makes sense
good boy
~~Microwave from Bosch?~~
Never mind it’s a kenmore (bottom left). Guess these things all look alike 😂.
The 790.* model number indicates it was actually manufactured by Frigidaire and then rebadged as a Kenmore. Not coincidentally, that's why they all look alike...
Reminder: Sears/Kenmore never manufactured anything. All Kenmore products are rebadges of other brands and models, without exception. When your dad is ranting about how those Kenmore appliances were built so well and they never did him wrong, but all those new modern GE/Whirlpool/LG/Frigidaire appliances, they're all crap -- he is Earth shatteringly incorrect.
I was about to say we have the same microwave, but mine is a Maytag. They're identical otherwise. Pretty neat that you can put a roasting rack in it.
Hey... that looks eerily similar to my own microwave.
OP cleaned your microwave.
God bless you, Sir.
Super clean! You're probably worthy of trying to set the clock on a VCR now.
Now put a lightbulb in it.
