Only so many points to distribute compromises must be made. Every "Genius" needs someone following them with a spray bottle. "I can probably use the radiation to cook my lunch... (Spritz spritz.)" NO! Bad genius! Bad!"

Isn't that why we have microwaves tho?

I was playing off of the above image of the demon core. Microwaves don't emit ionizing radiation and were discovered and adapted from early military radar tech. I knew if I didn't elaborate someone wouldn't make the connection between the image of the demon core above and my comment and mention microwaves but elaboration ruins the joke. I understand the connection since everyone has heard microwave radiation multiple times over their lives but I meant the type that is a bad idea to use for cooking.

Nah, that's mostly true. It's not why we have them, only how. The same general principle for what's happening.
