Has anyone seen what actually happens when you put metal in a microwave? I’m curious. Does it explode or just sort of short out?
eeeks, dont do it. it depends on the micrwave for some reason. i had a very bad experience with a fork once and then tin foil was fine? the best thing to put in a microwave is an Easter Peep!!! it gets bigger and bigger and BIGGER! and then it explodes! also cd’s are cool cuz they get zapped and then fry, but your apartment will smell like burned plastic for DAYS
No, it arcs. Except for steel, microwaves are reflected by metal. The microwave energy, instead of being absorbed, “arc” like lightning bolts inside of the microwave.
speaking of bugs: anyone know how to get rid of gnats? they fly in thru my windows (no screens) and just chill up at the top of my window. i tried the vinegar and dish soap trick, and got a few.
Ah, thanks, dona. Have you actually seen this?
I have a metal rack in my microwave. It came with it. It never has done anything.

put a ripe papaya or canteloupe outside of your neighbors window or door and leave your door open for a few minute, they will fly right out!

I just went to microwave my coffee cup. Microwave’s broken.
“What happened to the microwave?” I ask.
“Some idiot forgot you can’t put metal in it.”
“Who doesn’t know that in 2010?”
“I’m not saying.”
“Tell me.”
They don’t answer.
I say, “Was it so-and-so?”
“Yeah.”
