Same advice as disassembling a very old CRT TV - leave it unplugged for 24 hours for all the capacitors to discharge if you're wanting to reuse the bits for any projects that you're doing. Otherwise, spicy voltages may still be present.
Just one minor quibble, leaving a old TV unplugged for 24 hours does not make it safe. Capacitors can hold a deadly charge for days, months, or even years.
You'll give me traumatic flashbacks to our electricians checking the industrial overload settings by dropping a spanner onto the busbars. If the switchgear tripped out before the spanner melted, then the settings must be correct.
I'm reminded of that video of the two guys in an attic with a massive transformer and then using the ends to melt steel tools. I also wonder what wonderfully fun lung diseases those guys ended up with
Many times the fix is simple, like a spuriously blown fuse. And the capacitor that holds charge after unplugged does not for long thanks to the discharging resistor, although best not rely on that and use a screwdriver to short it, even basic ones can handle 2000 volts but extending one with a stick is always possible.
Am I the only one trying to figure out the mechanics of that monsterfucker art?
It's a human's small hands on top of a monster's big ones. Both hands feature the back of the hands, thumbs in. Ok.
So, assuming there's fucking going on, the human's probably on top. From the orientation and position of the hands, both the monster and human are facing forward and the human is behind the monster. But, based on the size of those monster's hands and forearms, the monster is significantly larger than the human. So, what erogenous zones on that human can make contact with anything interesting on the monster? The best I can come up with is the human riding the back of the monster's head.
Now, it's a monster, who knows what kinds of holes and protrusions it might have on its head. And, in fact, being a monster we really can't make any guesses about its anatomy and body composition simply based on some vaguely hand-like things. Still, monster hands on top of human hands, or monster hands palm down, human hands palm up thumbs in would lead to more easily imagined situations.
It's from a group about people paranoid about the global mind control conspiracy. The joke is, paranoid guy opens appliance, finds electronics, assumes computer spying deep state deprogrammers out to get them
It's clearly a VFD. And with so many characters (microwaves usually have 4 7-segment digits) and a "MUTE" indicator, it's likely not the control panel of a microwave.

@OP, why do you keep posting half a dozen unrelated memes together in one post? Why not separate posts?
Putting them all separately would come off as kind of spammy, so it's not a bad solution to do it in batch
Are they a bot?
I actually can’t tell what I’m supposed to be seeing on that PCB…
I assume based on the subreddit it's posted in that the idiot thinks it's a bug, or is feigning ignorance in doing so.
Monster fucker art isn't enough anymore, I need monster fucker experience
Bad dragon wants to know your location.
I love this.
Somebody with a bad dragon strap can always have my location~
True ascension.
Obligatory please never disassemble a microwave no matter how cool a “magnetron” sounds

Just like microwaves, most of them have discharging resistors, and are easy to discharge safely manually by looking up how and being careful.
There are also videos online on how to safely discharge them, just in case there is still power left
You don't have dedicated high voltage discharge device, a screw driver taped to a big not conductive stick?

How else am I supposed to check if the "kill your entire family twice" capacitor out of a microwave is angry or not?

Round a nut? You go into the busbar box.

Monster fucker art...I need it. I need more...I need to live it! Omfg the dirty thoughts are swarming! ♥️
I'd know that artist name anywhere. Thanks for the rec ❤️

I think it's an 8-foot-tall monster topping a normal sized human doggy style, and the human is reaching forward to grasp the monsters hands
Possible, but not the hand position I'd first picture for that kind of scenario.
human is a power bottom
What's up with the PCB with this multi segment LED, the one he salvaged from a microwave ... What's the joke?
It's from a group about people paranoid about the global mind control conspiracy. The joke is, paranoid guy opens appliance, finds electronics, assumes computer spying deep state deprogrammers out to get them
It was posted to a gangstalking sub. So probably just a mentally ill person being paranoid about pcbs

No, it checks out. https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/ModelSectionParts/JVM1860CF001/1/0/0/0/MICROWAVE
Me: Oh that’s Belle and Beast
Also me: So we just had that already locked and loaded huh?
Yes plz, but make them cuddly and maybe a little fluffy.
I feel that last one in my bones
Is this schizophrenia?
