Now playing Electric Six - High Voltage

When you cast Chain Lightning at nothing.
I think that still is actually from this video of a switch opening. Sound on, it’s real neat.
🥴 I like the way this tickles my brain
Its funny because the arc looks a bit like Louise Belcher laughing maniacally
Pshaw, even at LV, it’s a lay theory that is, at best, vastly incomplete and, at worst, demonstrably false.
Electricity will flow through all paths, the most electricity will flow down the path of the least resistance.
That arc is going up because the plasma is hot and the air is turbulent.
Yeah, maybe it needs a Hedberg-ism to get it across to people.
Electricity takes the path of least resistance. It takes the other paths, but it takes the least resistance path too.
The problem I have with it is that it gives a false sense of security and how the world works. Most people think lightning rods attract the lightning and direct it into the ground because of this. 1/3 of the world has 220v and 110v connected directly into their showerhead without any idea why they don’t die from it.
Everything is a wire if the voltage is high enough.
Every machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.
I was interviewed for a position where lady handed me a pen and asked if it was a conductor.
I replied: "if the voltage is high enough, yea. She scoffed. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job.
Honestly I think you gave the experienced adult answer to what was a high school or even middle school science question.
that just sounds like a weird interview.
“you’re qualified for this position if, and only if, you can answer a useless question with only a rudimentary understanding of the subject and no critical thought”
if true, you dodged a bullet
Oi! As an engineer I worked damn hard to trap that magic smoke in the machine only for you to let it out and try perfectly good components. Treat your machines with respect, they’re getting smarter by the day and they’re forgetting less and less!

The dog breed?
I went to a zoo the other day. Only had one animal, which was a dog. It was a shit zoo.
In the least, it had 3 types of shit:
- dog shit
- human shit
- bullshit
Does better as a shit zoo for sure
Every problem is a nail if you hammer it hard enough.
looks like lisa simpson
Everything is wire if the voltage is high enough
iS iT Up tO cOde??? <— stupidass city council 🙄
Ah shit.ya beat me to it. [email protected]
Oh. Well guess now you have to take me to a gay bar?
This is particularly applicable around downed power cables. Do NOT approach. You don’t need to touch it to become the wire.
For example: in LA right now
For downed, you mean just a power cable that’s down on the ground but otherwise intact, or he’s only dangerous when cut?
Any cable that’s not where it’s supposed to be, just stay away 👌 Even if it isn’t visibly cut there could be a short somewhere
mhh, you have a point.
dO nOT toUch the DoWn wIres uuuum I have MY RIGHTS to turn myself into a gas station hotdogs thankyouverymuch
You have to keep in mind that the resistance from one foot to your other is going to be less than dry earth between your strides. This means if you are walking toward a downed power line, you may inadvertently walk within its path to its ground and the voltage could actually travel through you.
That’s so interesting. Thanks!
Why is this not knowledge taught in school?
It is the first time i hear about it and i have never thought of it, yet it makes total sense and could make the difference between life and death in a storm damaged area.
Because magic™ is cool
Well, we did learn exactly that in school and had a practical demonstration at a museum.
But on a different continent.
Yeah this should be up there with “stop, drop, and roll”
Especially dangerous if it’s a high voltage wire. Even standing close you can become the least resistant path to earth.
The safest way to do it is to get someone else to touch it first.
Dang, this meme sparked quite some discussions.
👉😎👉
modern metal band logos are really getting out of hand smh
This is so accurate. Try reading this without knowing what it is. It’s impossible
Answer
“Femtanyl” as it’s the artists name
What about this one?
Answer
LITERALLY NOBODY KNOWS 😭😭
There’s a Youtuber who has a series of videos trying to decypher metal band names.
It’s quite fun
First one isn’t even metal. But yes. Not doing that is why anyone even remembers Party Cannon.
Ah rayatu sannon.
I can’t see femtanyl in there even after you told me what to look for
Does the last one say “Seth”?
Low voltage: “Oh no, there is a tiny spot of corrosion on the contact surface, I think I need to lie down…”
High voltage: (rips line of coke) “I’M GONNA MAKE MY OWN WIRES WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS!”
In fact, forget the blackjack!
Noted, high voltage is potato energy.
