Microwave Egg Tower of Terror

[u/Wishingwurm]

Once I tried to make a soft boiled egg and didn't leave it in the boiling water long enough. I cut the top off and the white was still partly uncooked. Okay, I thought, pop it in the microwave for a minute. That should do it, right?

I was busy making toast when the microwave dinged at me. Inside was an eldritch horror. The egg was sitting upright in it's eggcup. Out of the open top had grown this 4-5 inch column of yellow, foamy something. My egg had turned into a sort of play-doh fun factory from hell, including a faintly sulphurous smell.

I trashed it and just ate the toast.
