A Billy Penn reporter's mom took the question in stride

What did millennials kill today? The traditional Thanksgiving roast, apparently.

The holiday season’s latest meme consists of screenshots of text conversations where people pose to their parents a seemingly innocent query — that leads to hilarious results. The question to ask? How long to microwave a 25-lb. turkey.

Presumably, all the texters know you wouldn’t actually cook a giant bird in the microwave. All signs indicate that millennials are still on board with ovens.

In the Philly area, parents have been providing a perfect blend of horrified and practical responses.
