Today, my mother yelled at me for standing too close to the microwave. Her reason? The radiation was going to seep through, kill my sperm, and cause cancer. FML

Hey, I heard that if you stand too close to the microwave you can get cancer from the radiation in those things. You should probably stay away from them...

I wonder how much 'kimotherapy' costs? Less than chemotherapy, perhaps?

Actually your mom is mostly right if you stand too close to them. Same from cell phones in your pocket

Yes. That is totally how the male reproductive system works. (Insert eye roll here)

she's an idiot. the honeycomb like shield on the inside of the glass of a microwave is a sort of Faraday shield. nothing harmful leaks out.
