I think you got that backwards - the caveman is the one scared of the microwave and its spooky woo-woo magic that damages the water’s aura
I know what you mean but also there is a viseral vibe around microwaving water in particular that feels very caveman coded in the weirdest way.

A microwave oven’s function is literally to heat water in any food item.

I’m aware but there’s this weird visceral unga bunga energy to it. It’d be like using a diesel generator to farm crypto it just feels fucking weird.

The aura comes from yourself and your culture, lol.

Well also I’ve grown up around microwaves with questions wattage so rather than boiling or near boiling water you get slightly hotter than the tap water.

You shouldn’t microwave water though, because there’s a chance that it could be superheated to the boiling point without looking like it and that can be dangerous.

A really small chance that is only somewhat significant for distilled water and can be very easily mitigated by lightly tapping a teaspoon for a test.
I do this everyday. The danger is not knowing but it’s not really riskier than being splashed by boiling water because you poured it too hard from a kettle.
