I have never learned how to change the microwave power setting, and now I am too afraid to try it

My current microwave has too damn complicated controls and is full of unnecessary features for me to actually know how to adjust the power so I just go with full power, with 30 second increments because I don’t have the degree necessary to understand anything else. It’s like trying to fly a damn airplane, except worse.

My old microwave had just two dials: one for time, one for power. That was the peak of microwave technology and we should all go back to it. A microwave doesn’t need to do ANYTHING else than just shoot fucking radiation to anything that is put inside it, I don’t know why the hell do they add all these random buttons and just add a picture of a fucking carrot or some shit on it like it’s universally understood what that even fucking means.
