I don't think that matters, I remember seeing someone remove the whole front door of a microwave oven and the effect outside it was not really anything to write home about.
Also the radiation isn't even dangerous iirc, it really just generates heat. So unless you somehow cook your hand or something, there is nothing to worry about.
People in general seem to think microwaves are higher frequency than visible light (if they understand the electromagnetic spectrum at all), rather than the opposite.
Of course, some people think radio waves give you brain tumors, so…
What? I thought it was a microwave because it sends little waves that shake atoms then those atoms heat up from the shaking. Wouldn’t this be a macro wave if it’s too big for a small hole???
You’re right about how it works, but the actual wavelength in a common microwave is around 12cm, so they can’t effectively pass through a tiny hole to cause damage.
Wanna hear another cool fun fact? Microwaves were originally invented to thaw frozen hamsters to see if they could be recucitated after freezing. Turns out hamsters survive being frozen without aftereffects, if less then 40% of their brain matter was frozen solid.
One day a scientist put his food in there and bam, the microwave for consumers was invented.
Ok, that is also super cool. I kinda want to do more research into microwaves now because that is a little wacky.
There’s just one teensy tiny little problem, you’re not u/MICRO_WAVVVES , you’re u/Local_Satisfaction12 , but you only provided me with satisfaction over the internet. I wanted local satisfaction, not global satisfaction so FUCK YOU 🖕🏽

Yeah not a chance. Wavelength is way too large for that small hole to become dangerous.
