I'm here to shitpost, not to post facts, my b'y

[-] unreachable@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

your intent apparently warranted

[-] SternburgExport@feddit.de 26 points 1 year ago

Sure sounds like it. What kinda microwave fits in another microwave? Why would it explode? Snd the picture doesn't fit.

[-] snowraven@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Someone above mentioned that magnetron bombarded by another magnetron can cause a feedback loop thus causing the explosion. I am not exactly sure if that is scientifically correct but that could be one explanation for the explosion.

But yeah the rest of the story is probably just a meme story.

[-] jettrscga@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

They also mentioned 1998 and Hell In A Cell. I'm thinking they were full of shit.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Can't believe this shit still works in 2023.

[-] snowraven@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Nice, It's hard to seperate science from meme these days you know. Back in my day, people wouldn't make such jokes but oh Wait I am still 23. Good times.

[-] camelbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's all BS and I tried to Google that shit

[-] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 21 points 1 year ago

I love spreading Misinformation online

[-] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Well there is no other kind right?

Poor guy learned the hard way.

Microwaves are not to be fucked with. Microwaves are produced inside the oven by an electron tube called a magnetron. The microwaves are then reflected within the metal interior of the oven where they are absorbed by food.

When a magnetron bombards another magnetron with microwaves it produces a feedback loop that can result in an explosion. This phenomenon was first recorded in 1998, the same year that The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

The second I read 1998 I was like, there's no fucking way and then bam!

[-] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Hey you’re a big phoney! You’re not the real hell in a cell guy!

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

u/shittymorph gone but not dead. Just still on Reddit presumably

[-] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Mom, I want shittymorph!

No, we have shittymorph at home already.

When you try to put a bag of holding into another bag of holding

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Vyllenor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can't be reopened.

Or search google on google

Their sacrifice will not be forgotten

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Wait... That can happen? I gotta rethink my weekend plans...

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The explosion destroyed both microwaves and created a portal to the astral plane.

Joke aside, the magtrometer can easily explode.

Jokes aside, the magnetron is just a vacuum tube surrounded by a big heatsink. It could implode but the vacuum volume is tiny and the metal inside and outside will prevent glass from flying everywhere, unlike a B/W CRT. There is also a transformer, HV capacitor, fan, a tray motor, a mechanical or electronic timer, lightbulb, high voltage diode and fuse, bimetallic contactors (thermal fuses), safety switches, interference filter and smooth start circuitry. None of this can really explode but will get hot in presence of microwaves, burning plastic and other materials, producing caustic smoke.

No, thst will not happen

[-] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

They only assume he died, and that it was just an explosion. In actuality he opened up an unstable portal and was sucked through, then it exploded.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

That rascally Florida Man. Up to his usual hijinks.

[-] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Not gonna lie, this is something I'd probably try if I had the means to do it

So he bought a microwave to microwave a microwave.
