Not all microwaves. The one were I work as a chef is perfectly fine with metal; as long as it doesn't touch the sides.

It’s not grounded lol. It has to do with the thickness of the metal. It grounds itself.

go for 1/4" phono. It's a little thicker than the phone but it gives a great retro hifi sound.

Like strapped it into the side? Can't imagine there is space inside for one
He managed to rig the circuitry from a lightning to audio jack dongle into the iphone

actually not. it was glued on the phone. made it bigger and even more stupid than buing it in the first place.
Doesn't seem to be just glued to the phone it's a custom ribbon cable
AuBoss
Yea. Am an electronics technician and could do that easily. Not dumb enough to buy an iphone tho.
PremierPyrus
What exactly do you dislike about them? I've used both and don't really get the big deal myself. Just curious.
The FACT they put out an update to hinder the performance of your phone because a new model comes out. That's enough. Much more.
Oh yea and when ever a store has a sale on there is always a * there that links to fine print at the bottom saying "excludes apple products"
Overpriced compared to many android phones, smaller selection and pay for apps and tbh seems like kind of a cult.
Not a huge fan of Apple's "walled garden" software deployment/vending approach, either. It's my phone, I own it, let me install what I want
SciencePetsComputers
Apple charges 100-300% profit margins, android typically is 10-50%, Apple keeps using the same manufactures as they repeatably get (1/2)
Caught doing serious labor abuses. Apple does not play well with other companies, the list is longer but that's my top 3 reasons why.

As a kid I got a sega megadrive, my granddad got one for himself but bought a master system game for it. Not understanding why it wouldn't-

People *still* fall for that shit?
electrovir
Well, everyone will fall for it at least once until they learn what it does. That's how I learned it. I'm very grateful for it lol
alsoAzrael
This would make a good confession bear. :)
electrovir
Haha, well I learned it like 10 years ago :P
TheRemarkableFoon
...but did it work?
somethingawesomeandgreat
Go and try, you might be able to observe a couple of big lightning bolts too
korvkiosk
Don’t listen to them, their advice will screw up you microwave. You have to put it on defrost for 15min. Keeps the power level safe and low.
PileOfWater
Current Japanese trend. They polish the foil until it's smooth.
fluhatinrapper
For 3 minutes in a microwave?
n0n53n53
4 minutes in the low power microwaves outside of Japan. IF you hear weird noises that means it working
SnoBored
It does work if you do it right. If you just set the time no. But if you set it to popcorn then the dangerous rays arent produced
craigscrazyguactacs
Yeah and as long as you put a paper towel under it you’re good
username678
Stick a fork in there to make any excess rays reflect back
bigdaddyfatpants
My fave was the people that drilled holes in new iPhones for a headphone jack. I thought no way... But it was way.
heyyouwantatoothpick
Way, WAY
gh013
You do not know de way, I know de way.
chupathingy99
There are still motherfuckers who try to delete system32...
ComicallyLongUsername
I was a fan of the iphone "firmware update" that made it waterproof.
Xenarion
This one at least had enough pseudo-science to make it plausible for ignorant people.
FoolMeChickenSoupWithRice
But do u no da wae?
dormantmutant
Sauce pls
NoisyPulsar
Way too way
Masterofthispillowfort
the phrasing of that was... pleasing
drlazercatz
Just the fact that u can stil be there live on 4chan when someone falls for delete system32 is like watching a car wreck i didnt try to stop
sunyudai
All you needed was "be there live on 4chan is like watching a car wreck". The rest of the detail is unnecessary.
Peterowski
Or when 4chan convinced them that microwaving their new iphones would charge it it 30 seconds And even the photoshopped ad said it was false
NachoPete
Yah, way.
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
I liked the one where you installed an app to use your ipad touch screen as bathroom scales.
n0n53n53
so way bro, so way
Amauri14z
Yeah all those iPhone pranks just show us how gullible some people are.
cousteau
Those were all satire… right? Right??
DBProxy
Initially, but there will always be those stupid idiots that try to replicate what they see, no matter how insanely moronic
sugarfreetarot
what size drill bit do you use?
bigdaddyfatpants
Depends what size headphone jack you're using.
Soylencer
go for 1/4" phono. It's a little thicker than the phone but it gives a great retro hifi sound.
GolFoehammer
better sound quality too!
bigdaddyfatpants
The big one will give you 7.2 surround right to the headphones.
Logan9Fingers
so way
Billy2sweet
I'mma be honest, I don't have an iPhone but I know companies are cheap so I could imagine them just covering up a hole to get more $ outta u
SPQAAE
MEMBER WAVE TECHNOLOGY? OR BEND TECHNOLOGY? charge your phone by microwave and bending it.
Robvp
Some guy actually did went ahead and properly installed a headphone jack though
Chpgmr
Like strapped it into the side? Can't imagine there is space inside for one
Robvp
He managed to rig the circuitry from a lightning to audio jack dongle into the iphone
TMP5
actually not. it was glued on the phone. made it bigger and even more stupid than buing it in the first place.
Robvp
Doesn't seem to be just glued to the phone
it's a custom ribbon cable
AuBoss
Yea. Am an electronics technician and could do that easily. Not dumb enough to buy an iphone tho.
PremierPyrus
What exactly do you dislike about them? I've used both and don't really get the big deal myself. Just curious.
bigdaddyfatpants
The FACT they put out an update to hinder the performance of your phone because a new model comes out. That's enough. Much more.
AuBoss
Oh yea and when ever a store has a sale on there is always a * there that links to fine print at the bottom saying "excludes apple products"
AuBoss
Overpriced compared to many android phones, smaller selection and pay for apps and tbh seems like kind of a cult.
GolFoehammer
Not a huge fan of Apple's "walled garden" software deployment/vending approach, either. It's my phone, I own it, let me install what I want
SciencePetsComputers
Apple charges 100-300% profit margins, android typically is 10-50%, Apple keeps using the same manufactures as they repeatably get (1/2)
SciencePetsComputers
Caught doing serious labor abuses. Apple does not play well with other companies, the list is longer but that's my top 3 reasons why.
calyxium
As a kid I got a sega megadrive, my granddad got one for himself but bought a master system game for it. Not understanding why it wouldn't-
calyxium
-work, he figured the size of the cartridge (too large) was the only problem, so sawed off the edge of the cartridge to make it fit.
GmanLV300
Look up internet historian. He did a video about that and its beautiful.

Ricky?
Caabale
The wireless charging in microwave allowed by the new iOS version was fun also.
bigdaddyfatpants
Oh yeah... Classic.
cousteau
Makes me sad that they put all that effort into making the fake "water proof" ad when someone saying "microwave it lol" had the same success
talel81
That was my fave
ThereWasNoWay
That's what I thought too!
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
"But it was way" I read that in a thick Californian surferdude accent.
jizanthipussss
or Fat Mike from NOFX
woodsandhillsplc
Indeed, for it was way, and the maidens bowed their heads, the children did weep tears cursed with the loss of a noble iPhone 6S.
JustaDick
Holes were being drilled in the 7, the 6S had a visible jack and no need to drill it. First batches of 7 had the hidden jack to drill out.

TitanicGaming360
I STILL don't understand that. Why are you so addicted to your goddamn music? Just turn it to full volume and use the speakers.
TheBlueMuppet
Im happy for these things. Just think, a whole generation will grow up knowing eating soap *WILL* kill you. They're smarter now.
Peterowski
A generation that doesn't believe their parents and eats soap. Not sure if it's a negative or positive development.
JackieTreehornProductions
Well given my dad got his mouth washed out with soap for cursing... I can understand some aspect of the pod logic
TheBlueMuppet
Cept the dead ones, a'course.
EudaimonHolocene
Yes, quite unfortunate. I wanted to take advantage of them just like how the previous generations took advantage of us.
TheBlueMuppet
Too bad theyre dead! Guess its still our turn in the barrel.
Gayforbae
I mean.... You could have just checked with the CDC , but sure that works too....
TheBlueMuppet
Thats work, this generation doesnt do that!
GolFoehammer
Hand soap, in bar form, on the other hand, will not. Lots of fucking personal god damn experience with that shit!
PresidentOfTheUnitedSteaks
Yep. Yyyyep... that taste doesn't come out easily.
GolFoehammer
oh no. Just recalling a couple of those times sent chills down my spine...
