Even after I knew it was unsafe, the alternative was to microwave a glass measuring cup, burn myself on the handle, drop it, get a face full of hot water and glass, slip, and die slowly bleeding out through my severed jugular, clenching a full cup of dry noodles. I chose the plastic.
I thought you were putting your noodles into your measuring cup of water because you don’t own any bowls. Or a stovetop or a pot. Why are the noodles dry in the end?
I also like how you describe it as “the alternative”, as if obviously, this is what a normal human being would do.
…and I just noticed the noodles are still in the cup they came in.
My only deduction is that your kitchen consists solely of cupboards, measuring cups, and a microwave. Likely no utensils, as they could cause similar catastrophes.

Bro just buy an electric kettle or use a pot to boil the water on the stove…
Single serve coffee maker also works if you already have one.
“Leslie, I tried to make ramen in the coffee pot and I broke everything.”
They literally make ceramic noodle cups that are exactly like the Styrofoam ones with a handle.
If you are microwaving a glass measuring cup long enough the handle will burn you then you are doing it wrong…
Yup, like ~80sec should do it. That’s enough for the water to boil, but not long enough for the heat to transfer to the container.
This is so bizarre of a scenario.
