I'm about 60 years late, but I finally joined the modern age and bought a microwave today.
What's the first thing I should make using it?

I meant as in food.

Re-heated leftovers. Microwaves aren't good for much else imho
>>8428021
Heating milk and other drinks as well

Make work for your fucking trashman. Microwaves are terrible and if you use it frequently you're probably a bad person who eats poorly.

Obviously I don't use it frequently since I just bought it today.

True. Comes in handy especially with things like hot chocolate. Also good for softening/thawing things like butter/frozen meat.
And speaking of heating drinks (sorta): you can microwave things like breads and vegetables without them getting soggy/gross by microwaving a half-full mug of water with your food (e.g. stick a whole hamburger in the microwave, and a mug of water along with it and voila, hot non-mushy burger). There might be some limits to this trick, but I have nuked whole sandwiches and they come out great

I too like finding arbitrary reasons to look down on others.

Why else would you be here?

Depends on how you use them.
Yeah if all you do is use them to heat up yesterday's pizza or get disgusting prepackaged microwave dinners you're going to wreck yourself, but there's nothing inherently wrong with microwaves.
