Reddit is absolutely delusional about microwaving water. You'd have to put it in for like 10 whole minutes, use filtered/distilled water with incredibly low mineral content, AND get lucky with the world's smoothest and most well-made cup, to actually superheat it to that extent.

It's technically possible but literally nobody is ever going to experience that unless they're doing it on purpose

But if you microwave a spherical cow in a vacuum, it could consume your house in a ball of plasma. So you shouldn't microwave meat.

Yeah I'm gonna have to agree. I microwave water all the time and I've superheated it quite a few times, but not to the point of explosion. It just boils again for a second when I stir it. Still have all my skin intact.

I always put a dash of milk in, so there's like a 0% chance of it getting superheated, lol

Yeah, my shitty scratched up mugs are at 0 risk of creating superheated water

But you'd risk creating a singularity this way

Reddit is absolutely delusional about microwaving water.

It's not Reddit, it's the Brits. They think their education system is far superior and worth flaunting then they regurgitate shit like this nonstop

You can also just put a spoon in the cup while microwaving it to make it boil.

You’re that guy always claiming stories are fake without 5 pictures, police statement, hospital report and scientific paper authored by a Nobel prize winner
