your intent apparently warranted

Sure sounds like it. What kinda microwave fits in another microwave? Why would it explode? Snd the picture doesn't fit.

Someone above mentioned that magnetron bombarded by another magnetron can cause a feedback loop thus causing the explosion. I am not exactly sure if that is scientifically correct but that could be one explanation for the explosion.

But yeah the rest of the story is probably just a meme story.

They also mentioned 1998 and Hell In A Cell. I'm thinking they were full of shit.

Can't believe this shit still works in 2023.

Nice, It's hard to seperate science from meme these days you know. Back in my day, people wouldn't make such jokes but oh Wait I am still 23. Good times.
