    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.

      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

      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.

        I think compacting any adult person into a size small enough to fit into a microwave would do that much damage in one minute

      Indeed, but I seriously doubt that damage was caused by trying to microwave a penny.

    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.

    If you stick the mini one in an electrical socket, it’ll make it grow again

    Does the metal sublimate or does the mini coin have 50 times the density? Is this how black holes are made? /s

    None of these are quite as bad as the 4chan post telling people to make mustard gas.
