I would have to say microwave.

With a remote you're just working smarter, not harder. Same with the dishwasher. Both give you the same result as doing it the "manual" way, but are faster and easier. The channel still gets changed, the dishes still get just as clean.

Food cooked in the microwave is clearly inferior to food cooked in a more traditional fashion. Therefore, you are compromising the quality of the food you eat out of sheer laziness. That, to me, is why it wins.

+1...

reason being...

yrs ago (some here won't rememeber)...

A guys hung over ass had to get up and CHANGE the channel..(all local channels...no cable, sat..etc...)

If a shitty program came on you had to make a MAN decision...get-up and change the station...

or lay there hung over and watch the bullshit on the tube....

I always chose the latter instead of the former...

as I type this ...I've change the channel 6 times...hahaha

the remote wins hands down...

Im only 30 and I remember my first tv was a manual knob with bunny ears when I was like 15. My parents told me they wouldn't buy me a room tv so i found it at a garage sale for $10 to spite them. It only got 4 channels and it just sat on my night stand next to the bed so I could lay there and change the channel. I was a very deprived young man. I believe we have more tv's than people at our house now.

how is dishwasher not #1 answer?

Yeah, that's what I answered. Remotes are just convenient and I'm not sure I or anyone I know has ever cooked anything in a microwave other than frozen nuggets, ramen, hot pockets - foods that are meant for the microwave. I'm not sure that's lazy - no reason to turn on the oven for a hot pocket.

Dishwasher I can understand, but no microwave Doug??

I have very limited counterspace here and just never bothered to get one after selling my last place that had one over the stove. I'd rather have the D/W but they aren't allowed here.

I don't think you can even put remote control in this discussion, people don't look lazy for changing the channel with the remote

agree, I don't think you can buy a TV that doesn't have a remote. Dishwashers flat out do a superior job but are not as ubiquitous as the remote tv control. Now if you have a remote for your AC unit....that's lazy !

Microwaves are over-rated. i rarely used the one in my last place. With my limited space I choose a toaster oven instead.
