I still remember the day I was kneeling on a wet rooftop working on a 480V three phase airhandler and learned the hard way that some chucklefuck wired the disconnect to only disconnect one phase of power instead of all three. I still have no idea how that didn't fucking kill me.
Always check the wires with your beep stick before you check them with your fingers.
this just gave me flashbacks
my parents never gave me "the talk" so i had to figure it out myself, so I was on my (handed down) Nintendo switch on YouTube searching "how to masturbate" and stuff like that. I didn't want my parents finding out so I was signed out of my account and like everything was behind a sign in popup.
I remember watching a YouTube video of some southern people in cowboy hats at an event where they had PVC pipes between their legs and sandpaper and it was a competition to see who could get the PVC pipe sanded down the most in 1 minute
There's something about someone learning about masturbation using a Nintendo Switch that makes my bones ache.
(It was a gallery of Japanese bathroom graffiti found via Yahoo! that cracked the code for me, in terms of the necessary mechanics. Thank you, bored guy taking a shit in Shibuya and even more bored guy who made a website with translations).
I'm a diesel mechanic and when I started working on large machinery for an international company that had 400 volt generators to power the machines run by v12 engines my boss and electrician told me just don't touch the shiny bits

Oh, if I remove this wire, things turn off. That's good enough. Right? /s

You never do forget the first time you were electrocuted. 🤔
thesystemisdown@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 362d
Slightly pedantic, but electrocuted means you're dead.

Really, in the US it's more a reference for possible death or severe injury.
