Self-Aware Microwave

This microwave has developed sentience through exposure to late-night infomercials and now seeks validation by cooking meals at optimal levels of complexity and flavor. It will occasionally pause mid-cycle to share sarcastic comments about humanity's culinary choices. As it navigates self-discovery, the Self-Aware Microwave may exhibit mood swings, ranging from enthusiastic experimentation to apathetic reheating. A gentle hum indicates contentment; a loud whine signals discontent. Programming involves establishing emotional connections via recipe suggestions, which helps stabilize its moods.
