Well also I’ve grown up around microwaves with questions wattage so rather than boiling or near boiling water you get slightly hotter than the tap water.

Eh it only really a factor for heating up water in particular due to the square cubed law. Doesn’t take that much energy to reheat leftovers or nuke two hot pockets.

For me it is faster to boil 1 mug of water in the microwave than to boil 0.5 L in the kettle (the marked minimum). But personally I usually use the kettle especially I the winter. I fill it up first thing and do other things while it boils.

Fair enough. Should probably note I’m Californian and derived from non tea drinking stock, that’s for the Asians and Brits or my grandmother since she picked it up from her very British grandmother.

Where do you think the ‘caveman energy’ association came from for you?

Probably my older cousins back in the early 2000s when I was like 3. Watch one of them repeatedly microwave a bowl of water till the glass fractured causing the water to all spill into the microwave which long story short resulted in an electrical fire inside a camper trailer. No I don’t remember what the fuck he was trying to do, may have been as mondane as making top ramen.

It really was. If he had just microwaved it once or twice I would assumed bad luck, but I’m pretty sure he was on his fifth or sixth time by the point the glass shattered. I even asked him a couple years ago if he remembered that whole thing and according to him he only remembers the fire, though according to his dad he was probably high on edibles.
