It was simplified for ease. Metal indeed does not actually get hotter than its environment, but due to it's heat conductivity it has the ability to relay any surrounding heat when any spot gets cooled down (like when you touch it), it will transfer surrounding heat-energy to the colder spot, which it can do better than most other materials.
Either way, any spoon I ever accidentally microwaved remained quite cold tbh, though I have not tested this out over extended periods of time. Any heated food touching it will still be the main source it will draw energy from when touched, though...
I don't know how we manage to live under different laws of physics then, because I have definitely touched metal that had been in the microwave and gotten hot, and there are videos of people putting metal in the microwave showing it getting hot without sparking. Unless me, everyone I know, those guys, and all their commenters are all lying, metal will most definitely get hot in the microwave
Am I getting sharks are smoothed?
Yeah, if you look it up on Google you will find above definition, though... 🤷♂️
Look what up on google???
