SLPT: Having trouble spreading cold butter on toast?

Just microwave the knife for a few seconds to warm it up - problem solved!

::: spoiler But seriously please never do this, it will cause problems. I don't know who needs to hear this but never put anything metal in a microwave and turn it on! :::

You can put lots of metal stuff in a microwave. You just can’t have sharp bits that can arc. I’m pretty sure a knife would be fine.

Microwave's seriously dangerous! Which is why I put my butter knife in the toaster slot.

Smart! I also keep it near my bathtub, so I can cast it into the water if it starts to make a fire.

Safety first: Use an extension cord in case it's too far.

Explanation: I mean the really cheap extenders that bypass the circuit breaker.

steps back

Haha! Jokes on you! All my silverware is plastic cause I've been labeled a "danger to myself and others!" Now who's laughing Dr. Thompson?!?

You shouldn't microwave plastic cutlery either, but fir different reasons

I learned at a young age to not microwave sauce packets through practical self education. Good thing I was still there to notice

A knife probably wouldn't be too bad? Seration might change that.

I don't need that with my plasma knife.

It fell into the big MRT machine when it was still a small forging blank, so you don't need to microwave it anymore?
