654: Nachos
Nachos |
Title text: Hey, gaming on wifi? You have only yourself to blame. |
Explanation
Megan and Ponytail are playing an online shooter game. Ponytail calls Cueball, who is living with Megan, and "subtly" persuades him to make nachos. Wi-Fi and microwave ovens both use radio frequencies around 2.4 GHz, so Cueball's cooking disrupts her connection and allows Ponytail to kill Megan's online character.

[1] WiFi and microwaves use the same frequency band?! a conspiracy! the machines are taking over! Xseo (talk) 09:38, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
- If your microwave is interfering with your wifi then it's time to get a new microwave because your old one has a gaping hole. Microwave ovens form Faraday cages to contain EM radiation within them, and if the EM radiation is leaking that means the Faraday cage is violated somewhere. 72.128.82.131 01:00, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you, this information really improved my understanding of the joke. 108.162.219.223 01:12, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- The problem is the conspiracy theory may be the correct answer. In which case you need a firewall for the microwave or an old one, pre Pentium III at least.

- This is true. It's why you can stand in front of a microwave without boiling alive. 173.245.54.73 01:11, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

- "Boom Headshot" actually was first brought up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olm7xC-gBMY -> CS?
The real joke here is two attractive girls playing an fps. 141.101.99.17 16:59, 4 October 2015 (UTC) For some reason Megan's comment and the quote marks were left out of the title text. I added them. It changes the context from Randall speaking to the reader to ponytail chastising Megan. 108.162.236.49 19:02, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
