    Probably my older cousins back in the early 2000s when I was like 3. Watch one of them repeatedly microwave a bowl of water till the glass fractured causing the water to all spill into the microwave which long story short resulted in an electrical fire inside a camper trailer. No I don’t remember what the fuck he was trying to do, may have been as mondane as making top ramen.

        It really was. If he had just microwaved it once or twice I would assumed bad luck, but I’m pretty sure he was on his fifth or sixth time by the point the glass shattered. I even asked him a couple years ago if he remembered that whole thing and according to him he only remembers the fire, though according to his dad he was probably high on edibles.

            Best part is I’m the only living person who witnessed the whole situation. Note the microwave caveman is the son of my great uncle, so cousin once removed if memory serves right don’t really keep track of trite terms like that. But my great grandfather and my uncle (mother’s brother) just were watching the whole repeatedly microwaving thing just kinda waiting to see what would happen, took about 20 minutes but it resulted in the so called microwave incident.

            This whole thing will be with me for the rest of my life despite happening when I was 4, I am now 26. You may see why I directly associate microwaving water with unga bunga caveman energy. It ain’t just cultural it’s probably part of my personality foundation.
