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.
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.
I meant in a they don’t even make enough money to qualify for taxes type of way.
Fair enough. Should probably note I’m Californian and derived from non tea drinking stock, that’s for the Asians and Brits or my grandmother since she picked it up from her very British grandmother.
Eh it only really a factor for heating up water in particular due to the square cubed law. Doesn’t take that much energy to reheat leftovers or nuke two hot pockets.
Well also I’ve grown up around microwaves with questions wattage so rather than boiling or near boiling water you get slightly hotter than the tap water.
Pretty sure there are some struggling artist who also don’t pay taxes. Mostly because they are too poor but still.
The micro rollercoaster radiated “This damned thing has been sitting storage the fuck are we supposed to do with it” energy. Someone had a micro rollercoaster probably for festivals and things bad did not want to store it.
I didn’t know a mime getting hanged was in the Bible. Gotta feel bad for the French even their god hates them.
I know why hammerheads evolved like that and I know that there have been far dumber looking sharks but they looking like they’re playing pong between their eyes.
I’m aware but there’s this weird visceral unga bunga energy to it. It’d be like using a diesel generator to farm crypto it just feels fucking weird.
Hence why Lilly triggering some time of ancient ritual or creating a new ritual to counter the killing curse makes sense to me. Mind you Rowling is shit when it comes to in depth world building, but what she does set up even unintentionally is that the wizarding world is on decline possibly in a 40k type way where they are simply losing more and more knowledge after each generation. Having Lilly create or activate an old ritual either intentionally or not doesn’t remove the sacrifice it simply remove Rowlings stupid power of love trite. The power of love is still present but more symbolic in Lilly using her and possibly James as a catalyst to protect Harry.
Also I have accidentally pointed out the flaws of Rowling writing just to nerd out about magic systems. I don’t even dislike soft magic it’s just Rowling did it badly, aight gonna go read Yojou Senki.
I’ve seen folks say it’s him going full Kakarot, IE his Saiyan side comes out in full. Also I wonder if Vegeto would’ve wasted so much time if that was his main personality.
I know what you mean but also there is a viseral vibe around microwaving water in particular that feels very caveman coded in the weirdest way.
The worst part about this is that if Karl Marx was alive today he would 100 percent be posting shit like this online. You cannot convince me that Karl Marx wasn’t the 1800s equivalent of that dude giving indepth historical economic overviews to his team in CSGO.
At least TV ads could be entertaining back in the day, but modern internet ads are both boring and obnoxious. One minute you’re watching Invader Zim the next you’re watching Billy advertise a burger press, nostalgia.
I always liked the idea the it was actually just blood/death magic and everyone was just too ideologically blinded to see that sacrificial magic was used for good. It makes sense that Voldemort would be blindsided that one of Dumbledores followers used a bit of dark magic, imagine fighting someone who refused to use chemical weapons only for them to decide to use a nuclear landmine on you in particular.
Also if the company refuses and hires scabs you can always put the money towards hiring union enforcers. Mind you we aren’t quite there again but I don’t we’re too far off either, showing up to a scabs home at 2AM to have a nice talk or ambushing the boss on his way home. The glory days may be long gone but I hope to see new glory forged.
I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t that. Kinda disappointed it wasn’t a Rick Roll.
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.
