This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Why use anything but a pot on the stove

Because microwave popcorn is quicker, easier and comes pre salted and buttered instantly ready to eat. I don't need gorden Ramseys popcorn I just want popcorn to shove in my face.

Yeah it's very simple to answer the "why not put in a bit more effort". It's always "I want to be lazy".

Applies to people making fancier eggs, fancier noodles or better popcorn. Ease of finishing and speed >>>> quality.

It maybe takes 5 minutes total, and that's only if you put a bunch of stuff on it. It's not hard. You literally just dump the kernels into the pot.

It's about as much time as making it in the microwave. For both you're just waiting around for most of it.

You're underestimating what it means to be lazy
