Correct. Microwaves don't turn things radioactive. They blast the space with waves that heat water and that's pretty much it.
That said, cancer among young people does seem to be rising in many places.
But I don't think most young people microwave their underwear, so hopefully we can rule that out
There was that one episode of Round the Twist where he microwaved his underwear and it made him run really fast. I tried it with my shoes once and it made the microwave smell like shoes.
retro bomb!
And the kind of person who microwaves their underwear likely makes plenty of other questionable life choices.
Don't they do the same (but worse) with their phones?
