tfw at the end he grabs the pliers with both hands 😬😬😬
What does it matter if he grabs a single pair of pliers with both hands? Why did he make that bend in the middle tho?
Cross your heart and hope to die.

The bend at the end, I suppose is to put the strip in tension and make it less likely it will slip

i imagine that puts the wire under tension for better contact at both ends. pretty smart actually.
I guess human life in India is cheaper than the equipment to safely deal with electricity
But they launch satellites!!! They are awesome!

He’s wearing rubber flipflops. He’ll be fine.
I like gifs that end with a twist.
Lightswitch to switch your own lights off.
Use this syntax to embed gifs or images:
![]()Thanks! I went through this with another guy actually—I have been using that syntax but it doesn’t auto-load or go inline automatically.
Maybe it’s because I’m on kbin.
Weird. Might be a kbin issue. When I view the source of your message, it appears like this:

This is my view from within edit.
(Note: the screenshot probably will auto-load if I upload the image myself as opposed to linking an external URL.)Yes, they are supposed to appear as well when viewing the source.
Yeah like that
Probably a kbin issue then.
That post looks the same as mine on kbin.
I was in rural India for a friend’s wedding. They set up a giant tent pavilion to use as a dining hall, with fans hanging from the top. This was a ways away from the main house, but there were some power lines nearby so they just got power straight from the grid.
Also, day of the wedding, there was a large sound system for the musicians and priest. All the components were plugged into a power strip, which was powered by a couple loose wires stuffed into an outlet
Living in India is playing life on hard mode
Natural selection at it’s finest, unless someome does a really bad fucky-wucky.
The fact that India is still one of the most overpopulated place on earth shows that natural selection aren’t working very well.
No it just means that the fittest also like to breed
Unfortunately India will also peak it’s population around 2040. My city already has a fertility rate of 1.4 I wish world was comfortable enough for people to be okay having kids
They are faster at multiplying 🤣
That is a lot of confidence in the insulating properties of those pliers he has there
And his sandals.
fuckin thing SUCKS
gets zapped
fun fact: there’s 400 Volts between the terminals laterally. that’s gonna be one hell of a cardiac arrest.
OK so yeah, that guy doing it if crazy. That has been covered. But that also looks to be at ground level where anyone can walk by and touch it?!?! That seems like a bad idea too
Everyone local is informed not to touch it, if someone does, that’s a skill issue
I mean the 8 year old child didn’t really know better
Kids who reach 8 years know.
Kid had it coming.
Where are the “if it works it’s ain’t stupid” redditors?
Realizing that something can work AND be stupid.
I think we have all had coworkers like that and if someone hasn’t, they are that coworker.
Replacing a fuse
Holy cow! That’s crazy

Holy cow, eh…
i mean if it works…
edit: /j
It doesn’t, this is just an example of accidentally not killing yourself.
No. This is a gross misunderstanding of electrical safety.
Yeah these people have only a rudimentary idea of what’s going on and very little idea what happens if they make a mistake
Please remember to wear safety goggles when touching the spicy cable
i was joking, i thought it was obvious
I constantly have to remind myself when I comment that 90% of Lemmy is on the spectrum.
LGBT? Autism? You choose, likely correct either way.
I’ll choose the electromagnetic spectrum
Tone is not conveyed through text
that’s why I added a tone indicator, but I thought the context was clear
I’ve legit seen an electrician do similar in a 480V switchgear in the US… used to help with installs of industrial submetering equipment, but rather than waiting for a facility shutdown, we would often install our CTs on live equipment. IIRC he wasn’t even wearing arc flash gear…
