Grapes are another fun one. Cut almost all the way through then place cut-side down (so as to appear as tits) on a plate. Enjoy your homemade plasma.

Don't put anything in a microwave that you wouldn't put in your rectum.

If you put even one atom of metal in the microwave, it can set off a chain reaction that explodes your whole kitchen. Sure maybe it's "unlikely" and "preposterous" but are you willing to take the risk? It was in the news this morning. A mother in AR forgot to take the spoon out of the cup of cocoa and they all died. My prayers are with the father, who lost his children. I am truly sorry for your lots.

Bloodfart McCoy posted:gently caress your lies, OP Lol I had to go to the comments... I guess newer microwaves sense the metal and decrease the wattage. I was reheating some Mac n cheese in an ancient microwave as a kid and I left the spoon in. Big old zap fairly quickly scared the crap out of me

A high school party thrown by a known dickhead. His parents were out of town. Friends and I went because there was a keg of beer and girls. We ended up in the kitchen and we got the idea to put several eggs into a soup bowl with a fork and set the microwave for 5 minutes. We evacuated to the back yard where the keg was, refilled our cups. In a little bit people from the living room, etc. start coming out to the backyard. "Something smells bad in there". We evacuated quickly. Walked through the kitchen and just glanced at the microwave. The eggs had exploded, possibly caught fire, and it was a black mess of goop inside. It smelled like Satan had come by and farted. Even for the guy being a dickhead, I still felt a little bit bad. I'm not sure if it was cleanable or had to be replaced. We then went and enjoyed some Carl's Jr, so the night worked out okay.

One thing they usually don't tell you at the microwave store is that you can put a cup 'o wotta in it to make tea instead of using the kettle. Another thing is that if you are in a hurry in the morning an need to boil an egg you can just put all the goo parts of the egg (the egg but without the exterior shell) in a cup and put it into the microwave with a cover and if you turn it on for a while you get delicious omelette ... in a cup

Remember that video where the kid puts the glow stick in the microwave and you hear the dad like, "don't do anything stupid" and it explodes in his face? Lol love that Speaking of microwaves why come thru gotta have those shields on the door that you can't see through ? I am guessing they were put there by manufacturers because otherwise, people would see all the crazy cool poo poo what goes on in there, and you'd become addicted to seeing all the cool stuff that can happen in a moicrowave

Mostly nothing happens if you put metal into a microwave. Electroboom did a ton of experiments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyTmJX_TC84 Funky See Funky Do posted:What was that movie where someone puts cans of hairspray or something in the microwave then sets it to 30secs or whatever and then it explodes and completely blows up the building when the timer goes off? Under Siege: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El4Ka5AbLVY I couldn't find a clip where he sets it and it's been years since I've seen it, but he sticks a bottle or can of something in it.

Metal reflects microwaves, and the grating on the door is fine enough to effectively be another metal wall. If it wasn't there, the resonance would not form and the oven would be way less efficient. It might also mess with your wifi, though some do that anyway.

I don't care. What is this poo poo? Who cares about any of that. Take off the screen. Just take it off. Faraday cage. That sounds like some dork poo poo, or like the beard scientist in Lost. take it off! I want to see the food and I ALSO want a nice suntan at the same time. Come on we can do this . I also want to put melamine in the microwave and chew on tin foil . I am an demon
