Lol I'm 40% sure this is a joke, but in case it isn't: if you place conductors in the microwave: sometimes it's a spoon, sometimes it's the silver lining on a plate, or you can go overboard and throw actual aluminum foil in there for good measure...the microwaves drive a current in the conductor **, which creates sparks from lots of tiny arcs...lightning indeed my friend :D
Suggestion: Forks are particularly spectacular too
PS: the foil should act as shielding against the microwaves, so I predict that the content won't warm up, but maybe the hole is enough to let it heat it a bit :)
** If a conductor is not convex (e.g. fork, crinkled aluminum foil), each crease acts as a capacitor, so when the microwaves drive (through resonance) a current and overcharge the capacitor plates, they short the dielectric (the air in this case) and create the arcs.
I'm surprised you're only giving it 40% chance of a joke
It was before I scrolled down. After reading the other comments, I'm now at 80% (still) 😅
You have angered Thor by putting metal objects in the sacred container.
Not enough beans
It’s nutritious that’s why
It's got what microwaves crave, it's got electrolytes...
It's a quickening. There can be only one... spoon
Not enough grapes
Thor has blessed your meal
Because Zeus is hungry
Because you put in magnets to attract it. 😇
Oh the wooden handle must be. Take out the spoon.
Imagine Dragons strikes again!
