If it helps this was one of the earliest uses of the microwave. They were experimenting with reheating frozen hampsters to see if a creature could be revived from such a state. The issue was that the defreezing options at the time were too slow, and didn’t penetrate the outer layer into the core of the creature, but with the invention of the microwave they actually got the process working.

Okay so typing this out it is a little cruel actually, but it’s still kinda neat and led to furthering our knowledge of the universe.

Huh, so there was actual basis for that in the game? That’s so interesting!

There’s a great Tom scott that goes over it, it’s really neat and wild that this was before the microwave was widely used as like a food thing.
