    These pranks are a great way to teach critical thinking to impressionable youth, I don’t think we give 4chan enough credit for the valuable work they do.

      I don’t even think this is the fast charging prank, I think she thought it was be a cool tiktok dance shot.

        Oooh! That’s a fun idea.

        • Drill a hole in the floor of an old microwave.
        • Put a camera on a stick through the hole. So you can spin it manually. -Make a tiktok video of people dancing in front of the microwave on some catchy tune. Different people every revolution of the camera, of course.

          People can just modify an old microwave by taking out the microwave bits and just connecting power for the lights and turntable and just have to find the correct noises online to edit in

            Only if it’s plugged in while you’re opening it… Remember kids, always unplug appliances before you disassemble them.

              Incorrect

              Go learn about capacitors and why its still dangerous as fuck to mess around with the ones in a microwave even if its unplugged

                Old Tube TV as well. Honestly any of those old high voltage requiring machines are DANGEROUS. Capacitors are nuts man, and not something you should be playing around or with. The manual turn-table microwave honestly sounds like a great, safe way to troll the kids.

                  I have an excessively OP theater amp and repaired it myself. I let those caps chill for weeks and routinly flipped the power switch on and off to drain them. Was still scared. I’m also a bit of a pussy when it comes to electricity.
