If you are listening to music with wired headphones while the device you are using is charging, you are probably connected indirectly to someone doing the same.
Transformers don't physically connect, in a transformer there's a coil on each side of input and output, and the electricity is transmitted by induction.
But I enjoy the thought of being connected with people through electricity!

The connection ends at the first transformer. Their is no electrical connection between primary and secondary.

The streams don’t cross though. It’s not physically connected.

I plug the cables directly into my eardrums, don't you?
howrar@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y
You're supposed to connect them to your cochlea. The eardrums don't respond correctly to electrical inputs.

Irelephant@lemm.ee · 15 pts · 1y
I would rather not think about that one. Seems a lot less romantic

Like how kissing is like connecting two long tubes with buttholes on either end?

If you're alive you're connected to all things and everything indirectly. Also if you're dead.

Because of midichlorians?

There's no definite "edge" of a proton or an electron, they just continue out asymptotically to infinity (I've been told)

Often times I’ve wondered how many people are fucking at a specific moment.
tacosplease@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
I think about this a lot. And usually wish I was one of them.

You likely aren't because most power supplies are fully isolated.
