Flump!

Ah. That would explain the popping sound. I assumed that was just my microwave being old. Good to note I shouldn't do that in the future.

fully expected 40k notes ngl

Wild to see this on my dash over a year later. Quick update on the aforementioned microwave it did get a whole burned through it but that was not due to this. Long story short don't leave your university experiments of how plasma can be formed at low temps with proper ionization setups plugged in underneath your microwave during a storm.

GIRL??????? I THOUGHT YOU LEARNED????

I DID I DIDNT PUT ANYTHING METAL IN THE MICROWAVE. JUST ON THE STOVE UNDER IT.

WHY ARE YOU LEAVING SCIENCE DXPERIMENTS ON THE STOVE??????

leave your experiments unattended. this is how we discovered penicillin!!

GIRL ORCA LEFT THE EXPERIMENT UNATTENDED AND MELTED A HOLE THROUGH HER MICROWAVE. ARE U IMPLYING THAT MICROWAVE WAS A PETRI DISH AND THE MELTED HOLE IS A LIVE SAVING FUNGUS?????

It proved its infact entirely possible to make plasma hot enough to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen (far cooler than the burning point of my microwave) using 12V and <0.1 amps of electricity at room temp so I'd say close enough!

WHERE ELSE AM I GONNA PUT IT. ON THE FLOOR WITH THE CATS? ON MY WOODEN DESK???

I DONT KNOW MAYBE IN A GARAGE??? OR NOT PLUGGED IN??????? OR IN A LAB????????????

Okay the lab comment is fair I should have left it at uni but they don't have locks and I didn't want it to get stolen :(

you don't want it to get stolen but risking a house fire is fine???? 😭😭
