Mine is this little tidbit about Khaki’s from https://www.heddels.com/2019/05/history-khaki-anything-drab/

“Tried and tested by all the major powers, khaki-dyed, lightweight cotton twills became the de facto uniform for any colonizing power. If you were going to ship your boys abroad to pillage and conquer someplace in the Southern Hemisphere, khaki was your go-to color.”

    So are you meaning to imply food, and especially live animals as being discussed here, don’t have significant water content? Because I have bad news for you: If it’s absorbed readily near the surface, it’s not getting much deeper.

    Go ahead and try to “defrost” some meat on high. You will see that I am absolutely correct that the OUTSIDE will cook before the inside is defrosted.

    Note that nowhere did I say it’s as inefficient as an oven, either, so if you’re imagining that’s what I said then you need to reread my posts. I merely described how the common misconception of microwaves heating things from the inside is incorrect. The outside will basically always heat faster unless it’s completely devoid of moisture, which is not the case what so ever in this context, nor in basically any context of “defrosting”.

      You will find it is entirely dependent on the size, thickness, and density of the food you’re heating.

        yes and this is in the context of defrosting rodents, which will have a high water content basically everywhere.

          According to the USDA,

          Microwaves penetrate the food to a depth of 1 to 1½ inches.

          What’s the diameter of a hamster?

          I don’t know what to tell you, you can believe whatever you like. It doesn’t matter to me. But this is one of the dumbest discussions I’ve ever had, so I’m done. Declare yourself “winner” of the discussion if you like.

            Yes it’s dumb because you’re arguing against a point I never made. Things STILL heat up from the outside in. Or do you think that 1 to 1.5 inches is equally heated?
