Okay maybe not that extreme, but honestly, look at the microwave.

*Dangerous if you put your face too close
*Plastic will melt/catch on fire
*if you heat something in styrofoam like in a to-go box, the chemicals from the styrofoam can be transferred into your food!
*Foil sparks when you put it in there (try it its crazy)
*if you put in an empty chip bag, its shrinks it (try that too its fun)
*if you heat up liquid in a container like a coffee cup, it can explode in your face
*it actually changes the state of the food you are eating. read about it here
*NAZIS invented the predecessor to the microwave, somethin called a radiomissor cooking oven or something. go google it if you care haha
*they work by using radiation. What hell. Radiation.
*put a hard boiled egg in there, it explodes. WTF?!?! *thanks suddenly she*

And here is the biggest reason of all, well..why they creeped me out in the first place:

Go look at any frozen food product that can either be microwaved or baked in the oven. We'll say Hot Pockets, just because I know from perosnal experience. What kind of evil appliance can cook something in 2 minutes what an oven cooks in 30? thats just messed up. Period. Also, look at tv dinners. Chicken, potatoes and veggies. It takes at least 45 minutes to cook chicken, not including the preparation time. It takes a few minutes to cook frozen veggies on the stove, and it takes about 20 minutes to make mashed potatoes. This is to cook them, from scratch from a box whatever. But in a tv dinner, it takes 2 minutes. TWO MINUTES!!! What the hell kind of chemicals and crazy sh*t is in there that it can cook all that in 2 minute.s Even if you get food from a resturaunt and heat it up in the oven, it takes more than two minutes. Okay maybe I'm just paranoid, but I swear there is something seriously wrong with microwaves. They just arent normal. Am I crazy? I mean, I won't stop using one because its conveinient, but still, its a bit creepy. I'm such a dork. What do y'all think?

ahahaaha i think JUST like that about microwaves. if u stare at them for too long, ur eyes can get damaged. im so paranoid around microwaves!

Haha, interesting topic. The microwave must be evil if it could cook food in less than 3 minutes But that is a bit bizzarre, though.

yes, and if you put an untouched popcorn thing into there, you hear popping noises and the bag inflates!!

and if you put a hard boiled egg in there and heat it, it explodes and is very dangerous.

thank you for alerting all of us. this topic should be pinned.
maybe not, but still, i applaud your heroics. or something.

Haha, you must have a lot of time on your hands. But microwaves are a bit weird, I guess.

wooaah are you serious? an egg will explode? I'm adding that haha!

-_- I knew there was something funky about that thing..

*tosses microwave out the window* No more of that.. I'll use a toaster, or an oven.. or maybe a toast oven!! (HA! ok no..)

Lol. Seems like you took a lot of time tothink about this.... =P

I`m trying that chip bag thing aha...

to be honest, its something I was thinking about when I was at a friends house who had no mircrowave and I had to wait 30 minutes to cook my hot pocket. I'm like i wish he had a microwave. then my brain started reeling about how not normal that is.

Thanks a lot. I just used the microwave and now I'm scared if my mashed potatoes are contaminated

And now I'm paranoid.

<_< >_>

Don't touch that microwave.

but think about microwavable popcorn.
it is worth having a satan microwave.

i've done it before. the egg exploded and my mom yelled at me. :P

I burned my food when I put foil in it....

I didn't get to eat it.

*looks at hot pockets*

pfft, screw this.

*munch munch munch* i'm hungry for hot pockets.

Yupp. Know all about that one. =]

I think that's interesting. I think I wanna try that chip-bag thingy. Gee. Thanks for the ideas!

woah. .the last part made me think.
-attacks microwave with bat-
and just in case. .
-attacks toaster with bat-

oh wow....this really makes you think but, i dont think the microwave is satan or equal to satan but, its an amazing creation

haha , interesting.

I still love my satanic microwave =)
Heats my sandwiches up in 30 secs.

i put my fork once by accident in the microwave and it went crazy. i got scared lol. But none the less i love microwave.

i LOVE microwaves.



Ahahaah not really They are a bit.....dangerous, eek

Yeah, If you think about it, Microwaves don't really seem safe. LOL! Anyway, I'll still use them, I'm too lazy to actually cook.

microwaves work with radiation. conventional ovens work with radiation too.

1- you can't do anything to your face by looking at it too closely.
2- anything can be changed by heating. Milk expecially, because the protiens start comming apart at 110 degrees.

well, an oven has to be preheated so that's why it takes so long...a microwave was made to be heated quickly to make those fast snack things...that's what i think
