TIL that microwave power settings don't actually reduce the power; rather, they cycle the microwave energy on/off (i.e. 50% power means the energy is on half the time, not on all the time at half p...
True. Unless you spend the extra money and get a microwave with an inverter.

Seems that way. Really unfortunate. Imagine being so upset about a game you have to run around and try and ruin it for everyone else.

So a regular microwave turns the magnetron on and off for varying periods of time. Like if you wanted a minute at 50% power, it might turn the magnetron off for 10 seconds, then on again for 10 seconds etc to get 50%.
An inverter would apply 50% less power, but it would be constant power not intermittent. Sort of like PWM if you’re familiar with that?
Sorry. Not great at explaining it!
