I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

    My mom told us that microwaves are bad for our health due to radiation. I did not want a microwave in my own apartment until I was 20 and my GF just got one.

      To be fair, this one is true… Its just that they are also designed to protect you from stray microwaves lol

        They’re bad in that they’d cook you with enough intensity, but we don’t know of other side-effects. Microwaves are not comparable to ionizing radiation like X-rays, gamma rays or ultraviolet light, which can genuinely damage your DNA.
