microwaving

Microwaving is an act of “fucking” someone with the Chimichanga! emote in Fortnite.

Yo me and this chick were microwaving yesterday, it was fucking great

microwaved cucumber

If a boy means nothing to you, but he's warmer than a dildo

Do you I actually like my fuckbuddy or is he just a microwaved cucumber?

Unplug the microwave

Kill yourself

Sometimes I wanna unplug the microwave, but I don’t have the balls to.

Microwave Power Plants

Beaming energy like a sci-fi Wi-Fi router from hell. These systems generate electricity (likely from solar in space or ground-based fusion) and convert it into a focused beam of microwaves. This beam is transmitted wirelessly over long distances—for example, from a solar satellite in orbit to a receiving rectenna (rectifying antenna) on Earth—where it's converted back into grid electricity. It's the solution for powering remote bases, disaster zones, or entire cities without cables, but the idea of firing megawatt microwave beams through the atmosphere makes people understandably nervous.

*Example: "The moon base gets its power from microwave power plants—solar arrays on the lunar equator beam it up as microwaves to satellites, which then beam it down to our outpost at the pole. Just don't walk through the receiving zone without your protective suit unless you fancy being cooked from the inside."

Microwave Igniter

A device that uses microwave radiation to initiate reactions, essentially a super-powered version of the magnetron in your microwave oven, but aimed at something other than leftover pizza. Microwave igniters work by exciting molecules until they reach ignition temperature, which is great for starting combustion in engines, initiating chemical reactions, or, theoretically, cooking a turkey from the inside out in seconds (please don't try this). In automotive applications, microwave igniters promise more complete combustion and better efficiency than spark plugs. In practice, they're expensive, complex, and still trying to prove they're better than the century-old technology they're trying to replace.

*Example: "He retrofitted his car with a microwave igniter system, hoping for 50 miles per gallon. What he got was intermittent check-engine lights, confused mechanics, and the ability to heat his lunch by idling next to it. The car got 32 miles per gallon, same as before. Microwave ignition had failed to revolutionize transportation, but it did make great leftovers."*
