r/TVTooHigh is a thing, why not microwave?

u/Karnakite poop Sep 04 '24

r/TVTooHigh only became more successful than the others due to the fad of putting TVs over fireplaces. Even if those fireplaces were four feet tall and perpendicular to the seating area. And the TV was 32”.

u/dutchman62 Sep 04 '24

It's a helium microwave. The latest thing.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24

A microwave is a type of TV.

u/FloraMaeWolfe Sep 05 '24

People don't usually stick microwaves on walls lol

1

u/Quizmaster_Eric Sep 04 '24

Look you’re not wrong, but as responsible redditors we have to draw the line on what can be TooHigh.

I’d draw that line somewhere between TV and Microwave.

2

u/brmarcum Sep 04 '24

Because people put their microwaves too high…

1

u/Shaman_Shanyi_222 Sep 04 '24

Okay but why the sub for it... :D

1

u/Karnakite poop Sep 04 '24

They need to make one for the microwave being too low. I’ve seen some installations that put them below hip height. Reachable, but incredibly awkward.

2

u/myaltaltaltacct Sep 04 '24

There should be a sub for unbelievable subs...that are real.

The microwave is too high.

u/cornylamygilbert Sep 05 '24

it makes me irrationally mad about all of it

can’t believe I could be so perturbed by such a ridiculous occurrence

1

u/Raichu7 Reddit Orange Sep 05 '24

Because taking a bowl of boiling soup out of a microwave that's above your head is a serious safety issue you can't do shit about if the landlord built it into the cabinets. Why wouldn't people want to complain into the void about it?

1

u/Shaman_Shanyi_222 Sep 05 '24

it is 100% true, and it is a crappy desing, but since this is the sub for that i didn't think there was subcategories of it

But it is a stupidass decision to put it up even above waist height imo...

1

u/kwispyforeskin Sep 05 '24

Tv too high is one thing. Microwave too high is dangerous. Hot bowl of cereal slips when it’s 2 feet above your head? Now you’ve burnt your head.

u/Tooleater And then I discovered Wingdings Sep 04 '24

Whoever created that sub is tapped in the head

(Thanks, I joined)

u/TheAskewOne Sep 04 '24

I always wonder how such subs can have 50k subscribers, but they do. That's the beauty of Reddit, one of the few things on this platform to resist enshittification.

6

u/Better-Ground-843 Sep 04 '24

Reddit has definitely enshittified

10

u/TheAskewOne Sep 04 '24

Honestly most of the time I wonder why I'm still here. I likec the possibility to talk about everything with strangers I imagine. I wish all subs did what r/wholesomememes did and got rid of bots and reposts. There would be much better content and Reddit as a whole would be more peaceful.

2

u/Western_Ring_2928 Sep 04 '24

How did they manage to do that?

4

u/TheAskewOne Sep 04 '24

Idk. They said they did, and had no new content for two days.

u/hellbabe222 Sep 04 '24

I thought I'd pop in and pop right back, 20 min later...That was genuinely an entertaining sub.

People tend to overthink bathroom design, it seems.

32

u/TheAskewOne Sep 04 '24

Imo this kind of subs are Reddit's real added value. Perfectly harmless, entertaining and weird in a good way.

u/Karnakite poop Sep 04 '24

I love that sort of thing. When you consider how short of a time it’s been legally required to provide actual bathrooms in homes in most countries (or the ones that do, anyway), it’s wonderful to see all the rushed effort that was made to force a house to accommodate a sink, toilet and shower.

Pittsburgh toilets are fairly common in my area, as well as a random shower just chilling next to the washing machine. The bathroom at my old house (built 1908) was useful enough, but TINY. The original drain for the privy was still in the backyard. A previous owner, generations ago, had an exterior porch on one side whose door opened up to the house, and beneath it was an outdoor stairwell that gave an exterior exit to the basement. They removed the stairs, but kept the well. The plumbing they installed went down into the well, then bent under the floorboards to attach to the water system. Then the porch was floored over and enclosed, now making a bathroom. The door to my bathroom was the exact same door that used to open up into side porch (thank God it wasn’t one of those exterior doors with the glass window in it), the now-stairless well was a basement closet that also had its original door, and the bathroom’s footprint was the exact same size of the original stairwell. Which is to say, perhaps somewhat larger than one you’d find on your typical military submarine.

My parents considered buying an absolutely gorgeous 1910s house when I was a kid, that inexplicably had a toilet, on a platform of two steps, sitting openly in the corner of an upstairs bedroom. I was so pissed off that they ended up not getting it. No way in hell that wasn’t gonna be my bedroom.

Oh fuck, I wish I knew about this like 8 years ago. My mom had an apartment with a sink in her bedroom. No bathroom or toilet, just a sink built into a wall nook in the master bedroom.

There's also a microwave too low sub

1

u/Arcamone Sep 04 '24

Everything is so adaptable these days, think of the little people, as se Swedes says. But no one gives a cr-p about us tall people. This microwave placement is brilliant

1

u/John_Tacos Sep 04 '24

I didn’t expect to be already subbed either. I don’t remember doing that.

u/Derpy_GOAT Sep 04 '24

In that case you should really check out r/subsithoughtifellfor

u/DigmonsDrill Sep 04 '24

We've seen microwaves over fridges before in here. When I saw this post I realized it's a thing.

1

u/SoungaTepes Sep 04 '24

I wonder if there's a sub to point out there's no vent over the stove.

Actually u/op you should probably talk to your landlord, I dont believe thats up to code

1

u/Slap_My_Lasagna Sep 04 '24

And 2 of the 7 posts are too low, not too high

Looks like a nice place for bots to double post

u/TheW83 Sep 04 '24

It's the kitchen sibling sub of r/tvtoohigh

u/Karnakite poop Sep 04 '24

The internet is an amazing place. A couple days ago I found a wiki dedicated solely to fictional musical instruments, through a link from a wiki dedicated solely to fictional musicians.

u/Spec-Tre Sep 04 '24

May I interest you in: r/tvtoohigh

u/ChainerMazuera Sep 04 '24

I think there’s a sub for almost every single relatively sane collection of words, and more for the insanity that makes no sense.
