I mean either it's dark comedy, or the card involves something about saying goodbye to the 80s and welcoming the 90s. We conveniently don't have the context.

If you mean hiding under a desk to deflect a 5.56 round fired from 500+ yards away, then yes you are absolutely correct, when trying to compare it to "duck and cover."
It was never meant to be used in the sense of "Oh my god they're dropping a nuke on my town, let me hide under my desk and I'll be safe from a nuke!" I'm sure there were some people who wanted to stick their heads in the sand and believe it'd save them from a ground zero nuclear blast just so they wouldn't be petrified with fear... but that was never the purpose.
It was for outside that range, where a blast would still shatter windows and destabilize structures but not vaporize you or put you in the vicinity of fallout. And even then it was only minor protection. But that's SOME vs NONE. And you'd be hard pressed to find someone who says "Nah I'll take the 0% chance of surviving over 25%."
Same goes for natural disasters. The desk is not the sole magical protection, it's about other stuff falling on you that it can deflect or help bear the weight of.

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] In this world healers, while respected, are often looked down upon due to their limited offensive capabilities. One day your party is completely wiped out, and the world finds out just how dangerous knowledge of human anatomy can be. by Useless_homosapien
There was a different Manga (not Redo of a Healer) whose name escapes me, but it turns out that healers are extremely rare and insanely powerful soldiers because they can just heal themselves after strenuous training and keep going. Basically a decade of hardcore training in 6-12 months.
But it's stressed that Healers are not supposed to fight on the battlefield. Sure, one healer could take on 1000 enemies by themselves... but by rescuing injured soldiers on the battlefield using their super stats, they can have the soldiers re-enter the battle as reinforcements, and keep the army going strong after the fight, allowing the army to continue marching the next day with little delay.

It wants you to put something in before starting it.
I find this happens if you try to use the microwave when the door hasn't been opened recently. Even if you put something in 5 minutes ago, since the door wasn't operated recently it assumes nothing is inside, so it won't run thinking it's empty and you forgot your food/drink.

I'm sure a lot of people approached from the side and couldn't see the sign. And I'm sure he then turned his back and pointed to it without saying a word.

I consider it unnecessary, BUT have you ever seen a touch soap dispenser actually used for awhile? It gets NASTY. It's not even easy to wash off, and sometimes it's in crevices that you can't really wash if you wanted to keep it for longer.
