A DSLR and a Microwave

Before watching the video, what would you expect to happen to a DSLR that was cooked in a microwave? Make generous use of FF.

To crudely oversimplify, "you can't teach stupid".

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
Either way, gotta question the sanity (or intelligence) of the guy who did this: from the first para of his post:
"I had to know the answer. Even though I felt pretty sure I knew what the answer would be. It turned out that my guess was correct. Yes, that’s right, it melts. It turns into a black gooey molten puddle of plastic. But it’s still fun to watch."
1. Why anyone HAS to know the answer to a question like this is beyond me.
2. I would have been more than "pretty sure I knew what the answer would be..."
3. "...it melts." Really? Who'd have guessed...?
4. "But it's still fun to watch." I don't think I missed out on too much fun by not watching...
Jerry, you definitely find some good ones.

There is an old story from the early days of microwaves that someone who had just given a shampoo to a Tea Cup Poodle found their blow dryer was broken so tried to dry the little dog in the microwave with it set to low.

We had a sad case here in Raleigh some years ago. Two unattended children were left alone to get ready for school. They tried drying wet socks in a microwave, which finally caught fire, burning down the apartment, and killing them both.

It has also allowed Wendy Northcutt to publish 10 Darwin Awards books with no real end in sight.

When in doubt, set it to low.

Some years ago, I had a brand new microwave. Put some baking potatoes in, set it for 8 minutes (I thought), and went out of the house to my woodworking shop. When I came back, maybe a half hour later, I found microwave destroyed (mostly melted into a molten blob) and the house full of smoke, but thankfully, not on fire. My assumption was that I had inadvertently punched in 80 minutes instead of 8. Right until I read the recall on the microwave for a fault on the timer board. Could have been worse, but the moral is to TRY to remember not to leave heating appliances (stoves, microwaves, heating pads, electric blankets, etc.) unattended (or have a monitored fire/smoke alarm system). Lesson learned...
