in case anyone doesn't know, microwaving metal objects is extremely dangerous
wish i knew this 30 minutes ago
You should also not try microwaving CDs
I just gave up my age didn't I? Everyone going like what's a CD? Wrong answers only.
I, too, am old enough to remember Cuneiform Diagrams (CDs)
Last weekend I found that my original floppies for Eye of the Beholder II are still perfectly usable. Now get off my lawn, you young whippersnapper.
did you know your phone charges faster in the microwave?
i wish i knew this before i destroyed yet another microwave
It's not "extremely" dangerous. I've been microwaving food and drinks with cutlery in them for years without incident. In some respects it's even better than without (more even heating of foods, not having drinks explode in the microwave when too hot). From my experience and online video watching, only metals with sharp-ish edges or micro-ridges pose any kind of danger (e.g. crumpled aluminium, CDs).
Sooooooooooooooo cutlery?
