Put your tackle in it and do the world a favour.

Oh the irony.

 

[Marky]

What're the side effects/timescales of death or injury etc?

Genuinely interested!

Mostly a lot of burning of the skin really. Can have long term effects from the radiation though.

A bit more information on radiation and effects on health from waves

How would the world benefit from FrostedNipple microwaving his penis?

You should leave it running, while you run to the internet, post on the OcUK forums, plus other forums, and search on Wiki, then Google it! Then you shall have your answer!

[Vonhelmet]

ssh -l $yourname -h $microwave_ip
sudo su
ps -ef | grep doorswitch | xargs kill
doorswitch

That should restart the doorswitch program which will then then stop the microwave generator. Failing that try grepping for microwave_gen instead of doorswitch and kill that instead.

If all else fails just run shutdown -h now

What, your microwave isn't hooked up to the network? It doesn't even run a unix-like OS? Next you'll be telling me you're not running netBSD on your toaster.

I'd just walk in and turn it off. If I felt myself cooking I'd run away again.

 

[MikeHunt79]

How can i get to the microwave safely to turn it off?

Haven't a glue, I had a look here and it does not say how to turn it off, only how to turn it on:

Operation

Food is placed inside the oven, and buttons on the screen are pressed to set how long the food should be cooked. Typically, a microwave oven is one of the fastest ways of cooking.
