There are zero verbs in this whole meme (I’m not counting the “its” since it should be “it’s”

It's a new kind of compression! Like removing as many vocals from a sentence to shorten it: Ts ncmprhnsbl bt it wrks

Perfectly fine!

And yet it's still perfectly understandable. English sure is ~~terrible~~ versatile.

I guess it’s part of the fun, to heighten the drama – the author didn’t have time to write full sentences.

It’s very similar to this scene from Rick and Morty (starting at 1:26): https://youtu.be/oo0JHD5hbhk?t=86

Why lot word, when less work?

Also, meme has verb; verb is run.

I'm almost positive that's going to be very specific to your microwave model. Unless you want me to open it up and remove the part that makes the sound entirely.

Most microwaves you just hold either 2 or start/stop.
