We sometimes read some rather mindless content on Reddit, and perhaps that is what attracts us to it in the first place. Every once in a while, however, something is shared that captures our attention so much that we must pass it along to others.
That was the case recently when someone came on Reddit to talk about their friend’s microwave oven. It seems as if he noticed the lights in the microwave were blinking but when he took a closer look, he realized the unspeakable truth.
The post, which has taken on a viral life of its own, opened up saying: “Tried to use the microwave at a friend’s place, and saw the numbers blinking so took a closer look.”
He then took some footage of the microwave, showing what appears to be a normal site in many kitchens but there is something strange going on with the green lights. The clock area is flickering, and when he goes in for a closer look, you can see that it is flickering for an unspeakable reason.
Suddenly, you realize that there are dozens of little cockroaches that are swarming in the area of the clock, causing it to take on the appearance as if it is blinking. You can even see one of those roaches scurrying across the front of the microwave.
After being posted, it went viral for all the wrong reasons. Thousands of people commented on it, with some saying that they would simply burn the house down.

The poster came on to say that it was particularly difficult because there were cockroaches in the microwave but the rest of the apartment was relatively clean. It seems as if the friend had recently picked up the machine at a pawn shop.
After discovering the invaders, the microwave was taken out to the trash.
