        If you ever feel stupid, just remember… people like this do exist

        Faraday cages don’t work how you think they do op

        If signals can get out so can microwaves and microwaves wouldn’t even be allowed on the market

        It’s more logical that the video is fake and that microwave has been modified and they are just providing external power to the lights and turntable, yes the door switch for the lights can be included in a modified circuit

        The transparent area has that dotted coating which blocks electromagnetic waves of the ~2.4GHz frequency (microwave), same as 2.4GHz wifi. A lot of 5GHz would be probably blocked too, though I’m not sure how much.

          That is true, but try and put your phone in a microwave and see if the wifi or the network drop to 0. I have and they don’t. They are weak, but not at 0.

          A plugged off microwave, of course.
