Someone better tell the Freeper Vaxx pushers to not go near microwaves.

Reminds me of a scene in a Neil Stephenson book, “Diamond Age” where a criminal is executed on the spot by activating the nanites, which everyone caries in their bodies, to slice the criminal to death.

“Unless it was microscopic. Microscopic invaders were more of the threat nowadays. Just to name one example, there was Red Death, a.k.a. the Seven Minute Special, a tiny aerodynamic capsule that burst open after impact and released a thousand or so corpuscle-size bodies, known colloquially as cookie-cutters, into the victim’s bloodstream. It took about seven minutes for all of the blood in a typical person’s body to recirculate, so after this interval the cookie-cutters would be randomly distributed throughout the victim’s organs and limbs.”

— Diamond Age (1995)
