  • Lucky, we had to postpone a session 0 due to people having plans for the super bowl. Super boring game, and the whole event felt off. I fell asleep before it ended, but spent the whole time thinking about the fun we could have had.

    Also that other commenter making assumptions about you and boycotting seemed just as odd. It reminds me more people came from reddit recently.

    But hey, if it happened once, maybe we’ll get to find some remains of another system to which this happened as well. Or maybe, someday, someone else will find ours. Or perhaps gravity is the only force keeping us from drifting off the surface of our rock, preventing us from falling into the darkest void for eternity, with the vain hope that your frozen corpse will someday land in someone else’s yard, like a cosmic frisbee.




  • There are assumptions for sure, as to the materials of the sloth, and how it interacts with the microwave energy. Will the eyes heat? Probably. Will they heat before the rest of the plushy erupts into flames? Not sure, but it’a testable, just not in my microwave.

    There are many sections of the electromagnetic spectrum, but we are dealing with microwave energy in a microwave. Communication signals bouncing off the ionosphere and RF generated by car ignitions doesn’t seem relevent to the discussion.

    The RF, as electromagnetic energy, will induce current in metal objects that cut across the path of propagation. Yes, size, shape, material are important, which is why the plushie doesn’t immediately catch fire.

    If you allow microwave frequencies to cut across a human body with sufficient output power, you will heat that body and cook them with similar effects as food in a microwave.


  • The microwave energy will absolutely heat the eyes, and everything else in there, regardless of moisture. The dielectric materials will heat quickly as they offer resistance to the RF.

    You must be thinking of humans, as human eyes will generally heat quicker when a body is exposed to RF. The rest of the human body will heat as well, but the eyes may melt first, while electricity arcs between the fillings on their teeth.
