Apparently this is fake news...

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

[–] unreachable@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

your intent apparently warranted

[–] SternburgExport@feddit.de 22 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is not allowed?

[–] Vyllenor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years 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.

Their sacrifice will not be forgotten

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

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.

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.
