minus-squarejumjummy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·7 days agoIt’s just the way microwaves are programmed. Same reason 99 cooks longer than 100. It interprets a 100, 200, etc as minutes. I think most microwaves handle anything over 100 as minute + seconds, treating it like it had a : in there.
