    My microwave has a time machine built into it. There is also a time machine built into the radio in my bedroom. I have another time machine on my wrist!
    Not sure how you could use up an entire forum solely based on clocks in microwave ovens!

    You can never have too many Microwave and Time Machine Forums. This is most definetly the one area that boards.ie is lacking in, and is the only subject I need to browse elsewhere to discuss.

    The only question that I can think of currently, is where the 'Microwaves and Time Machines' Forum should call home?

    Should it be listed under 'Recreation', or should it be under 'Science'?

    TBH, I think it should be listed under all of the following headings:

    Recreation
    Science
    Tech
    Education
    Society


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    The question is should it be hidden from the peasants of boards in science or tech, or should we be a fully open and welcoming provider of information in relation to defying the laws of physics?

    time travel is too important a topic to be lumped in under a sub category... should have it's in own.

    we can then have subforums for instructions on how to build one from watch parts, how to build one from recycled plastics, how to avoid decimating the space time continuum, the best locations to find that wormhole you need to travel, what clothes to wear when traveling to the future, old to future currency exchange rates and so forth...

    Indeed time travel can not be catagorised. it has far reaching implications in business, sport, technology, recreation, etc
    in regards to currency conversion, just go into the future, look for a place that's in exactly the same state as it is at present, go back to now, and stash some fine wine.
    that, or a subscription for the racing post

    Finally a place to discuss the time machine designs in Napoleon Dynamite....that one that u stick between ur legs and put the tinfoil hat on and it burns ur balls...

    bump in light of the recent spate of approvings

    seriously, i needs somewhere where i can find answers to the issues of maintaining molecular stability when travelling through wormholes on my time machine. i don't want my ears falling off. again...

    I was thinking the same. :)

    By the sounds of it the polarity reversal is out of whack by a few microns. Set the toaster to medium brown and that should sort it.

    Depends on the timeline you're on about.

    That's odd, you weren't meant to say that for another 12 minutes and 34 seconds. :confused: I better look into this. :eek:

    Yes; accompanied by a phantom smell of popcorn.

    I'm pretty sure you said that last week as well.

    No, you're only imagining it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 880 ✭✭✭HAPPYGIRL


    Wow AC that was exactly 12mins 34seconds later, your time machine is really good. i'm jealous!

    hmmm... i think the toaster's on it's last legs... I really should have upgraded to the 4 slot ones. But dammit, i wanted those LED lights!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    medium brown isnt always needed, set the toaster to full whack and go forward to where the toast is a perfectly accecptable level of brown.

    you can't always rely on that though. the higher the setting on your toaster the more likely it is that the toast will be unevenly done..... this will ultimately upset the stability of your craft, particularly dangerous on exiting the white-hole. then you also have the conundrums of time compression. by the time the toast is done time will be so compressed in the wormhole that the acceptable level of brown will have already happened yesterday. if that happens the effects can be fatal... next year.

    remember kids you want to do as little metal processing during the wormhole as possible.

    I don't mean to go off on a limb here, but you may need to consider other methods. Possibly a blender orinatated machine? If you could calibrate the size, weight and speed of the blades to match the natural frequency of time you could, for want of a better word "cut" through time. The possibilitys are endless, but the make is all important.

    would you need to coat the blades with something like Thiotimoline for that method to work? how much modification would it involve?

    what about the stargate sg1 method of time travel,
    all we need is a stargate and some way of predicting solar flares


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,042 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    I could use my time machine to go into the future and find out when the solar flairs will happen.

    just because you have a time machine that doesnt mean you're better than me

    It does actually. It's in the forum charter that was/will be written in a few days/weeks/months/whenever Vex approves this forum, and was brought back to us from the future by AC. At least that's what he told us...


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,042 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Actually I brought it from the past.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,084 ✭✭✭blackbox


    There's too much fanciful philosophising on this forum.

    Can anyone give me practical advice. I have a Bosch microwave and a Panasonic time machine and I'm not getting anywhere.

    Do the Germans have a different communications protocol? Please keep the answers simple.

    PS - I had no success with the hand mixer either - it was a Bendix.

    @blackbox - what model Bosch microwave have you? It must be over 1200W in order to work. Models such as the Bosch HMT 85 G 650 are good.
    I would recommend against using Panasonic time machines because they are crap and have issues with people ending up like Seth Brundle when things went wrong!
