    Sitting here eating my microwavable popcorn, I can proudly say I understood everything you said XD

    Okay, this is going downhill, fast. Can we do a thought experiment or something to liven things up a teensy bit?

    All thought experiments are already solved. That's not much fun.

    Nice explanation, although I suspect not many people will actually go through it. You don't even need to discuss a specific bond or molecule, the energy of microwaves is too low for any chemical reaction. Usually what I say to people is that microwaves have less energy than infrared/heat, so no need to worry

    But saying it like that wouldn't be as hot!

    lol! but it would be less nerdy! oh wait, is nerdy hot? Damn, all this time trying to hide...

    I'm sure OP in an apparently topless photo probably amplified somewhat the sexiness of electromagentic radiation.
