It’s unclear how the challenge started, but countless people have become obsessed with texting their moms to ask, "How long do I cook a 25 lb. turkey in the microwave?" and posting screenshots of the (often horrified) responses online.

Some moms’ responses varied from a simple "You don’t" to a savage "Don’t ever get married."

"I should’ve never let you move out," another mom wrote.

One mom wasn’t having it at all: "You’re done. I’m calling your father."

For those who may be still confused by the challenge, we’ll make it simple: cooking a turkey in the microwave is a big culinary no-no.
