This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They're alive right, how do you thaw them out, I assume the microwave would kill them?

Fun fact: the microwave was invented to thaw shock frosted mice to revive them.

What

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

That was one of it's first uses, but not why it was invented. Originally used for food and tested in restaurants and kitchens.

Also the rats weren't technically frozen, just close to freezing...
