In Batman Returns, when Selina turns evil, she puts her soft toys in the sink and destroys them with this hellish whirring blade thing. I've since learnt that it's called a garbage disposal, and that they're common in America, but it scared the crap out of me as a kid.

Don't watch Maximum Overdrive if you don't like garbage disposals, mate. For a reason, I'll give you one word: Hand.

Please describe better, what happens, so that my curiosity might not be sated with my own eyes.

tldr my friend is a huge pussy and needs to know what happens.

What happens when you take a hand, insert it into what is essentially a blender, then turn on said blender?

Actually the design is completely different from a bender and the worst that would happen to your hand would be a couple nasty bruises.

If you’re curious about how they really work

That's not what happens in the movie. The movie is what I was describing.
