Yes Virginia, there are dimwits.
I remember back in college during the Mesozoic Era, when somebody ruined the microwave on our floor by putting a metal pot full of silverware in it and then starting it. The fire department came, and they did what firemen do. In the end, there was a black ashen smudge on the wall behind the ruined microwave and water all over the floor.
I saw it recommended that eating green bananas is good for you. Combine that with Taco Bell and you’ll end up in orbit.
If the metal is properly grounded it’s of a problem.
It’s not a problem.
Oddly enough there are some people who had to learn the hard way not to put metal in the microwave. Happened at a party at my house... luckily the guy’s brother caught it in time and stopped the microwave. We got a laugh out of the fact that this grown man didn’t know you couldn’t leave the spoon in the bowl inside the microwave. The sparks scared him though.
I hope that jerk was arrested for assault. Never put your hands on somebody.
“Oh, don’t put metal in the science oven”...
I had a microwave/convection oven. It was all metal on the inside.
When I want to destroy a CD or DVD I’ll microwave it for a couple seconds. It gets very sparky and burns a random pattern in the data layer. Maybe the NSA could use a microscope to physically read the pits that are left to recover some of the data, but no one will put it in a normal drive and even get a directory.
Why would he get sued? You mean arrested?
In college, we put a small, circular fluorescent light bulb in the microwave. Lit up like ball lightning before it blew up.
Just put it in the microwave she said!
Have not been to Taco Bell in probably 10 years. Looking at that sickly Taco I doubt I’ll ever go back. For 20 cents more or there about the Del Taco crispy Taco is stuffed to the gills with meat and cheese.

edit: and Del Taco adds tomato.
>> God when I was young, it was one of the facts of life, that you do not aluminum foil in the microwave
...and when I was young-ish, we used to put those little opaque ketchup packages in the microwave and nuke ‘em on purpose to watch the lightning bolts and see the package explode. :-)
(Hey, it wasn’t my microwave...)
A hammer works pretty well…
cool. My microwave had a metal rack in it, but it had no sharp edges and was mounted on plastic. the foil used in Slappy McWhite was probably crinkled and had sharp edges
