Florida Woman Claims 'abc' App Caused Her Microwave to Explode—Here's the Truth
A viral TikTok video shows a Florida woman alleging that a mysterious app called 'abc' triggered her microwave to explode, sparking widespread panic. The clip, viewed over 2 million times, features the user claiming the app's notifications caused electrical interference. However, fact-checkers confirmed the claim is fake: the explosion was staged using a pre-damaged microwave and a smoke machine. Experts note that no mobile app can physically interact with household appliances unless specifically designed for IoT control, which 'abc' is not. The rumor has since been debunked by multiple tech and safety authorities, advising users to verify sources before sharing.
