Solid shitpost. I'm angry just looking at it. Someone, anyone fight me!

Your father is a hamster and your mother smells of elderberries.

[–] nilaus@lemmy.world 78 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

The fact that you switched the mother and father makes me unreasonably irrate😆

No, he becomes quite irate, not irrate.

It’s been over 20 years since I’ve seen that movie…

My goal was to anger and insult you, and it appears to have worked!

You're going to be even more angry to learn that your apartment neighbor is using the shared building power to run an industrial aluminum smelter on his balcony as his side hustle. It does explain why he's posting all of those pallets of 6061 alloy bar stock and ingots for sale on Nextdoor and Facebook Marketplace though.

I remember one time I was at a large industrial site working on a cabinet cooler (dedicated air conditioning for large electrical cabinets) on a motor drive cabinet which was was running 480V 3 phase with feeder wires the size of my thumb when their safety guy walked by and saw me poking at the cooler fan with a screwdriver. The conversation went something like this.

Safety guy looking rather concerned: "What are you doing?"

Me: "Cabinet is getting warm because the cooler quit. The fan motor isn't running so I'm trying to give it a bump start with a screwdriver to see if the motor is siezed. Gotta do it this way because otherwise I have to pull the whole cooler off the cabinet to access it properly."

Safety: "You know those wires there are 480V right?"

Me: "Yup."

Safety: "You know those will kill you if you touch them right?"

Me: "That's why I'm not touching them."

You gotta press it really hard to reset it but be careful because buttons that haven't been pressed in a long time are usually very cold

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's the service light. You need to call an electrician.

Slather it in butter ... then fry an egg on top ... keep cooking eggs and start up a small breakfast place and call it the 'Ground Nut Breakfast Joint'

That nut is working overtime.

Last time I heard this sentence, it was said by the then fiancée (now wife) of one of my friends, who lost a testicle as a teen (the friend, not the wife), when they announced she's pregnant.

Honest question.

Would touching it burn you, electrocute you, or both?

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 52 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Burn, not electrocute.

The big grounding busbar there is giving the current a much better path to ground than your body would, so you're pretty much entirely safe from electric shock.

It do be pretty hot, tho, so your fingie is going to be ouchie burn burn.

Hey everyone, I am a layman(uneducated in this field) in these matters. How does one make this happen?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 38 points 1 week ago

There's a positive wire touching where it shouldn't be. The metal object, whatever it is, leads to ground, completing a circuit. Metal acts as resistance, converting electricity to heat and light - like the filaments in a toaster or an electric heater. This can also create sparks. Either way it's a sure way to cause a fire. If the metal is thin or melts at a low temperature, or the electricity is high voltage, the metal can melt, causing leaks. Cold liquid coming in contact with hot metal can flash to steam and possibly cause an pressure explosion or worse, depending on if there's gas or other flammable stuff in the environment. It's also an electrocution hazard.

This can happen if summer critter gets in there and chews open a wire. That's what usually causes actual electric fires.
