Why’s it called a microwave and when it doesn’t even wave at you?

Here we call it a popty ping because you pop food in and wait for the ping. That makes a lot more sense.

Here's a nice tattoo if you like microwave food

Why is it called an ocean wave when it doesn’t even wave at you

Stop thinking with your small head. You're too micro to understand electromagnetic radiation...

The things people ask

Because it does that to your food instead. The constant small "waving" warms up your food...

Stick your head inside and press 30 mins. Feel the wave

It does wave at you, you just can't see it because it's micro.

[FreyaRed]

It waves but it's so small you don't see it.

They're electromagnetic waves like that of the ocean, rising and falling like curves of a poorly made bed.
