Uncanny.

Our microwave has a button that, once pushed, will generate a perfectly popped batch of popcorn. It's labeled "Popcorn".

I'm living in the future!!!!

Lest the reader think I've never seen such a thing before, fret not. Many a microwave in my lifetime has claimed the honor of the Popcorn Button. But they have been false witnesses, all.

Ah yes, I remember patiently waiting next to the microwave at work the first few times I popped popcorn here, waiting for the popping to slow, waiting for that moment when you have to leap in and stop the microwave, and each time being amazed that it stopped within 1 second of when I would've stopped it anyway. Now I do the unthinkable: press Popcorn and go back to my desk. All hail the one true Popcorn button!
