    It’s alternative current. You can’t see it because it’s a still image, but that alligator clip is actually alternating back and forth between the two terminals 60 times per second.

      baha I mean, that still wouldn’t produce much current at all depending on the capacitance of the lights and the voltage of that battery, but… funny beats reality on the far side.
