How to start a fire in the wilderness with only a power generator, a microwave and a coin:
I feel like there might be a simpler way but what the hell, lock and load!
There are simpler ways. But they’re boring.
Thinking quickly Dave constructs a homemade megaphone using only some string a squirrel and a megaphone
We need a TQDC community.
This works only if you are trying to do it secretly. Go gender reveal party or go home!
You can do a gender reveal party in the wilderness… and end up blowing up everyone in the worst way possible, all with a coin.
In the age of receiving CDs in the mail (like AOL), we would microwave them for 10 seconds to make coasters. The arcing would make neat designs in the CD
fwiw i’m pretty sure you can still get CDs for pretty damn cheap, so this is totally still doable and hell might even be a little side business
There’s lots of discarded ones if you know where to look
And fun to watch, too
In the age after total disregard for personal data, and the advent of personal data regulations, we’d burn tons of backup CDs like that.
A coin cannot cause this much damage to a microwave in 1 minute.
My ex-wife could, though.
I think compacting any adult person into a size small enough to fit into a microwave would do that much damage in one minute
Unless Amillo1951’s ex wife was already small enough to fit in the microwave
Keep going. I don’t think you completely ruined the joke yet.
Damn, people are stupid.
at least i think they’ve quit microwaving their iphones
Indeed, but I seriously doubt that damage was caused by trying to microwave a penny.
If you stick the mini one in an electrical socket, it’ll make it grow again
Unzips
but only if you push it in with your bare finger
Idk if anything would actually happen. There’s nowhere for it to arc, so it would just bounce around
Nothing would happen because of the coin, no. But microwaving an empty microwave can seriously damage it because there’s nothing to absorb the microwaves. You can burn out the magnetron.
A fire is possible but unlikely.

Does the metal sublimate or does the mini coin have 50 times the density? Is this how black holes are made? /s
An empty bag of chips for 6 seconds was always good fun.
We used to do this at school and make Keychains.
None of these are quite as bad as the 4chan post telling people to make mustard gas.
