@TechConnectify I think you mean threat

@TechConnectify N--

WHYYYYYYYYY????? ;A;

@TechConnectify no

@TechConnectify I'm sure you're gonna get roasted for this, but I've done sketchy stuff like this as test for one thing or another.

As David Freiburger of "Roadkill" fame is prone to say, "If you know the rules, you're allowed to break them."

@TechConnectify yes this is good

@TechConnectify That does not look very smart, Alec!

@TechConnectify So many questions… can't wait for your next video!

@TechConnectify The insulation goes all the way into the socket, this is just as good as the EU plugs!

@TechConnectify Thanks, I hate it.

@TechConnectify Tell. Me. More.

Dang it.. that's basically the premise of your entire channel.

@TechConnectify technology connections more like technology... hazards. because this one looks like a hazard.

@TechConnectify looks like ElectroBOOM stopped by for a visit.

@TechConnectify I feel like we’ve been betrayed 😂 I’m sure you’re actually safe(ish) but this is totally against everything you say on the main channel 😂😂😂

@TechConnectify I'm very curious about what you're doing here, looks like fun.

@TechConnectify i don't know whether to laugh or scream

@TechConnectify RIP

@TechConnectify

@TechConnectify 👎

@TechConnectify thank you

@TechConnectify This feels like it breaks the "no forks in sockets" rule somehow.

@TechConnectify *flees*

@TechConnectify ...that's a technology connection alright!

@TechConnectify That looks fun.

@TechConnectify I suppose it's cheaper than an autotransformer...

@TechConnectify
I sense a great disturbance in the fediverse, as if millions of reply-guys suddenly, spontaneously combusted out of sheer incandescent anger while trying to explain Well Actually That's Not How You're Supposed To Electricity. Well done, and thank you from all of us.

(Now I'm intrigued as to whatever the heck you're up to!)

@TechConnectify the socket is crying blood

Relatable

@TechConnectify looks like someone is looking to meet his maker rather quickly. Shit that wire isn't even rated for the 50A ... *cries*

@TechConnectify I reflexively made the most awkward “AWWW-HAAAAHHH?!” sound when I saw that.

@TechConnectify how many cm deep does that need to be live? I see a few frays pretty shallow in there, but maybe it's just the angle.

@TechConnectify Electroboom approved.

@TechConnectify “electrical engineering”

@TechConnectify I first read “as a threat” and that works too.

@TechConnectify It looks like a sad face bleeding from the eyes.

Which is also what my face looks like when I look at this picture.

@TechConnectify well done (no sark). Seriously, people in the US are waaayyyy too nervous around electricity. Outside the US, we change plugs on appliances, join cut wires back together, and do lots of other DIY work on electrical components. All with 240V instead of 120V. I mean, as a teen, I TRIED to not let the lawnmower lead (that I had run over a few times and joined back together using electrical tape) drape through the pool, but I didn’t *always* notice. 😂😂😂

@TechConnectify this better be a collaboration with electroboom! 😯

@TechConnectify This made my heart rate jump. Oh, the coppery taste of adrenalin...

@TechConnectify I’ve seen worse

@TechConnectify I do it that way, too.

@TechConnectify may the good lord have mercy on our souls

@TechConnectify How much current are those wires rated for?

@TechConnectify

I grew up on a dairy farm and I played with the electrical fence more than one and even stuck a fork in a wall socket.

Even I wouldn't go near whatever is going on here.

@TechConnectify
this reminds me a thing from 10 years ago

i was in a shitty place, with ungrounded wall outlets

and my desktop computer had ~110V on it's "ground" (so basically all its exposed metalic pieces) :blabcat:

so i had to put a shitty electric wire between the wall outlet's neutral and the ground of my computer plug to avoid inadvertently dying by touching my computer

fun times :blabcat:

@TechConnectify
Does that power point rotate?

@TechConnectify why are the streams on electricity attracted to each other?

@TechConnectify what.

@TechConnectify Just for that, I want to share a picture of my neighbor's electrical meter box (sans the meter) and the car jumper cables clipped across the mains.

But alas, I did not think to snap a picture when I noticed it... I should probably grab one tomorrow though, as it's rather ridiculous. (Not to mention extremely dangerous and a bit illegal.)

@TechConnectify Was it your account that showed the video of the guy asking, “so who did your wiring?” To the old lady, and then he asked her when his house burned down?

@TechConnectify Tsk, the colour of the wire isn't compliant!

@TechConnectify I realize this was a safety gore tease shot but it looks like the outlet is crying blood and that somehow made it very funny?

@TechConnectify We've all been there.

@TechConnectify (unhinged screaming without end)

@TechConnectify I give you a section of the install instructions for a commercial product

@TechConnectify
Oh this looks very safe! :D
... for a household with no children, or pets, or... less than careful people.
What could go wrong!?

@TechConnectify that doesn’t seem sketch at all.

@TechConnectify Do you need the phone number for the suicide hotline???

@TechConnectify nothing like the good clean fun of playing around with angry pixies.

I am curious to see the greater context, should be fun!

@TechConnectify i see no problem. carry on.

@TechConnectify It's perfectly safe to do this since the outlet is grounded.

@TechConnectify A general purpose response for your posts:

@TechConnectify I didn't get this was a picture you took at first and thought this was yet another example of baffling Japanese plug shenanigans, like those ground wires that are separate and secured to the outlet with a a screw

@TechConnectify

This terrifies me utterly.

@TechConnectify this is perfect example of why you should have switches on every power point, so you can safely shove the wires in, and then switch it on when it's safe

@TechConnectify
The plug that goes in is called the "male" end...

The socket it goes in is called the "female" end...

You've left out the male and wired some sort of "artificial male" setup into that female socket...

...you know what this could be a metaphor for. :eyyy:​

@TechConnectify I don't know, it looks very dangerous.

@TechConnectify AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

BREATH.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH etc...

@TechConnectify Electroboom?

@TechConnectify Applied electrical safety 👌

@TechConnectify That’s the wrong kind of plug, in Europe we … OUCH!

@TechConnectify Aah - the good old days before we had H&S :)

@TechConnectify aaaaa

(I'd probably do the same if I were in the same situation 😅)

@TechConnectify thisisfine.jpg

@TechConnectify any plan for content on dehumidifiers? I'd love that!

@TechConnectify this guy is as shocked as I am

@TechConnectify I think I hate you now, at least the next 37 seconds.
