Idiot 5g conspiracy theorists attack BT broadband engineers

Mmwave is the highest 5g wavelength. You are more at risk from sunlight

So would you stick your hand in a microwave oven while it's operating?

would I stick my hand in a chamber designed to contain and bounce around a microware beam of around 1000W, less than a foot from my hand ? errr no, is that a good comparison to sub 1w wireless signals from say mobile or wifi ? no its not the power is at a very different level at the source and the power drops off over distance much like how light from a bulb drops off (even when formed into a beam by a torch).

a better comparison might be, would I turn on a 500w halogen flood light while looking directly at it from a foot away - no I wouldn't, it would likely cause damage to me eyes. Would I worry about walking past the same light attached to a building, no

It is true, really?

Is what true? If you mean the bit about the morons attacking the BT engineers then Yes

But the cooking is caused by heating, not by radiation.

What evidently neither you - nor at least three other posters here - don't understand is that the energy that causes the heating effect is imparted by the EM radiation to the water-laden contents of a microwave oven.

Do you believe CV19 was created by 5G masts?

Why, do you? Or is this just a casual ad hominem attack?

You seem to have altered what you're saying.

It's true that a microwave oven uses frequencies which heat the hydrogen-oxygen bond, but that isn't what you said earlier.

Even though 5G frequencies are a shorter wavelength and therefore higher energy, they are still non-ionising which means they cannot easily break chemical bonds.

Just because some form of EM radiation is non-ionising does not mean that it cannot break chemical bonds. That's why we have infra-red heaters and microwave ovens.

It isn't breaking bonds and altering chemical properties. It's just heating the water by absorption of energy. There is no risk of explosion on recombination of hydrogen and oxygen, as they have not been separated.
