Buy the thinnest adhesive weather stripping you can find, and stick a patch in the appropriate place between the door and latch area. That’s the zone that makes the KERCHUNK.

If you yell the moment it closes you should effectively muffle the noise of it closing.

BloodSlut,

ah, the tactical velcro method

nilloc,

Fake sneeze works too.

Jackthelad, in What's the best football team and why?

Wolverhampton Wanderers, obviously.

If you just remove the 10 teams above them in the league, they’d be winning!

Easy, San Francisco 49ers. Five time Super Bowl winner and they have two of the best QBs in NFL history.

This might sound crazy, but when the kids are asleep I hold the microwave door button in as I shut it. It’s pretty darn quiet

JimmyBigSausage,

Good idea. What are you microwaving at night? Now I’m hungry!

dan1101,

I just microwaved some popcorn and yeah I used the hold the button trick.

I mic-ro-wave my popcorn at night

So I can, so I can

Watch TV, eat, and enjoy the childless night

ryathal, in What's the best football team and why?

SCLSU Mud dogs.

ani, in What's the best football team and why?

Reason I’m asking is I am wanting to buy one. I find most of them so jolting I have put off having one for a long time.

morphballganon, in Can anyone recommend a countertop microwave with a SILENT DOOR?

Put an extra regular microwave in the garage/den/faraway room so the noise isn’t an issue

morphballganon, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

We see a lot of efforts to convince suckers of absurdities in the US because there’s a lot of economic value in swinging American votes.

In other countries that either don’t have voting, or don’t have a lot of economic power, there’s less to be gained by befuddling morons.

jaxxed,

There is a hidden assumption in your comment: conspiracy theories are intentionally created or reinforced with specific strategic goals.

While I think that it’s probably rare, there have been conspiracy theories that are intentionally crafted to achieve goals.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_INFEKTION

And I am very sure that there have been many efforts to amplify existing conspiracies; you can look at disinformation research.

jaxxed,

I think that the majority of conspiracy theories are asroturfed, even those that actually started as grass roots. The Russians clearly admit that reinforcing propaganda rhat sticks, is a big part of their strategy.

Ludicrous Display football club, sponsored by Reynholm Industries.

intensely_human, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

Yes we are! It’s a result of all the subliminal messaging we receive from our kitchen appliances.

Silentiea,

Nice try, refrigerator.

That’s why you cook everything on a wood fire in the middle of your kitchen.

Make sure you punch a hole in the roof for the smoke!

Lauchs, in What experience crushed your soul?

I fully admit, I thought a crushing trump defeat and a dual chamber Clinton victory would finally force the Republican party back to sanity.

Back in those days, I dunno, I didn’t exactly think we’d solve problems like climate change or sweatshops but they weren’t beyond all possibility.

xkforce, in What experience crushed your soul?

Something one of my exes said to me that id rather not think about let alone repeat. Break ups can bring out an evil darkness in people that you didn’t know was there.

themeatbridge, in What experience crushed your soul?

I worked as a transplant coordinator, and that job was soul crushing every day.

One of the worst moments was being on the intake phones. It a phone number every hospital in the area calls whenever anyone dies. They report the details of the death, and we determine if there’s any possibility for donation.

I knew my uncle had been sick, but nobody told me they put him in hospice care and had withdrawn treatment. I took hundreds of calls, maybe thousands, but I still remember the feel of the receiver in my hand when the voice on the line said his name.

There were many sad stories, many sad days, so much that you become numb to it. It was horrible, but it made my job easier because when the numbness sets in, you can think of the trauma and empathize.

Got this as a wedding gift over 3 years ago.

Absolutely love it and the door is self closing. You can slam it and it catches itself and shuts on its own. I assume that is what you mean.

JimmyBigSausage,

Thank you. Will check it out!

JimmyBigSausage,

Just purchased the step down version of this. Love it!
