But how else are you going to charge your phone 🙄

[-] Still@programming.dev 0 points 6 months ago

sorry I don't have iOS 8 wave on my android

[-] leaveWitX@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

He reminds me of the guy who put the camera in the washing machine

I'm watching this video on VLC on my phone and the way it goes back to the Lemmy app is very trippy, as if the glitching extended beyond the video...

Hmm, if I put my phone in the microwave then it should become a microphone! I'm a jeenyus!

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago

These pranks are a great way to teach critical thinking to impressionable youth, I don't think we give 4chan enough credit for the valuable work they do.

[-] Khrux@ttrpg.network 0 points 6 months ago

I don't even think this is the fast charging prank, I think she thought it was be a cool tiktok dance shot.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago

Oooh! That's a fun idea.

  • Drill a hole in the floor of an old microwave.
  • Put a camera on a stick through the hole. So you can spin it manually. -Make a tiktok video of people dancing in front of the microwave on some catchy tune. Different people every revolution of the camera, of course.
  • go viral and teach kids a valuable lesson
[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

People can just modify an old microwave by taking out the microwave bits and just connecting power for the lights and turntable and just have to find the correct noises online to edit in

PSA OPENING MICROWAVES IS A BAD IDEA AS THEY CAN KILL YOU IF YOU TOUCH THE WRONG PART OF THE INTERNALS

[-] applebusch@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Only if it's plugged in while you're opening it... Remember kids, always unplug appliances before you disassemble them.

[-] Restaldt@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Incorrect

Go learn about capacitors and why its still dangerous as fuck to mess around with the ones in a microwave even if its unplugged

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 0 points 6 months ago

Old Tube TV as well. Honestly any of those old high voltage requiring machines are DANGEROUS. Capacitors are nuts man, and not something you should be playing around or with. The manual turn-table microwave honestly sounds like a great, safe way to troll the kids.

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

I have an excessively OP theater amp and repaired it myself. I let those caps chill for weeks and routinly flipped the power switch on and off to drain them. Was still scared. I'm also a bit of a pussy when it comes to electricity.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I believe the magnetron is dangerous for a time after unplugged. I may be wrong. Don’t test it.

Edit: Yep. The high voltage capacitor can give you a lethal shock even after the microwave has been unplugged for months.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Months! wow.

[-] FilterItOut@thelemmy.club 0 points 6 months ago

Aye, but that's just another part of the learning lesson, right?

[-] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 6 months ago

it's comments like these that get people killed.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This is the scary part - it will kill you even when unplugged!

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago

Yeah, they make about 2,000 volts to run the magnetron. Very dangerous.

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago

Thats a great way to potentiall electrocute yourself.

[-] abominable_panda@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Would flash memory survive in a microwave? How has she managed to get this footage to post if the camera died?

[-] DrCake@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Could be live streaming it

[-] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Aren't microwaves Faraday cages? Can a phone get a signal out of one?

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago
[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

If you ever feel stupid, just remember... people like this do exist

Faraday cages don't work how you think they do op

If signals can get out so can microwaves and microwaves wouldn't even be allowed on the market

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago

Just remember that there is also beam forming in microwaves. It doesn't have to be 100% Farady cage, 5 out of 6 sides is enough.

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago

hmmmmm i wonder what the metal mesh in the glass panel does hmmmmmmmmmm what could it possibly be for hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It is for that, but it's not 100% fullproof. You don't believe me? Try it. Put your phone in a plugged off microwave, see if the wifi and network drop to 0.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago

Does that mean my microwave is defective when the music I’m listening to on my bluetooth headphones gets interrupted when I stand close to it while it’s on? Is that dangerous for me?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago

Idk if it's dangerous but it doesn't sound good.

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 0 points 6 months ago

This guy stuck his face inside a microwave and he seems probably fine: https://youtu.be/3hBRxwQXmCQ

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 0 points 6 months ago

Well that was kinda fun, thanks!

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago

It's normal, no microwave holds the beam 100% in the box.

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

There is a small amount of leakage expected but that should be below the safe limit

If you're worried you can check the grid on the door for any holes and dont have anything in between the door and the microwave body as that might compromise the seal

What distance are you standing from the microwave ?

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 6 months ago

The transparent area has that dotted coating which blocks electromagnetic waves of the ~2.4GHz frequency (microwave), same as 2.4GHz wifi. A lot of 5GHz would be probably blocked too, though I'm not sure how much.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That is true, but try and put your phone in a microwave and see if the wifi or the network drop to 0. I have and they don't. They are weak, but not at 0.

A plugged off microwave, of course.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Plus 2.4 GHz wifi and 2.45 GHz microwaves might interfere with each other.

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago

That reminds me, it's time for another full wipe.

[-] calmb@kbin.melroy.org 0 points 6 months ago

Everything is presented in a straightforward and honest manner, and the concerns are discussed in great detail all along. There is no doubt that an advantage can be gained from having access to the information. Does my website generate a significant amount of revenue in terms of sales?

[-] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 0 points 6 months ago

Mom, grandpa's trying to make me go to his data mining website again!

[-] corymbia@reddthat.com 0 points 6 months ago

I don’t understand this photograph. Did this young woman open a microwave to discover a dwarf, inside, filming her?

[-] tja@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago
[-] corymbia@reddthat.com 0 points 6 months ago

Oh, it only loaded as a still pic for me last night.

[-] yoz@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago

Omfg! People like her gets promoted in most workplaces.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

whenever I feel stupid I just remember that it took Kirk Cameron 15 years to think "but what if water instead of trees"

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Do you mean James Cameron?

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 0 points 6 months ago

Do you mean Cameron Diaz?

A good way to go viral like this is to go to Walmart pick up a $20 smart phone and act like you just cooked your real phone...
