You don't truly understand technology until you ride the lightning.

i licked the phone cable once
it felt like how i imagine knives slicing through your tongue would be

i'm not sure if i'm alive or just a ghost in the internet now

I touched an electric fence for dogs once. Seems only fair, if they're going to get shocked by it.

I did this as a kid with a metal key, but I'm retarded about technology. More recently I got shocked touching a power cord that had part of the casing worn away, but I still didn't learn anything.

I did this with tweezers a couple times as a kid
all it does it trip the breaker and burn the tweezer
I guess it's supposed to shock you but it didnt shock me
maybe it did and i dont remember
>>
>>109541868
you short-circuited it and the quickest path to ground was through the tweezers, so it didn't go through your body.
one time I tried to pull a shitty chinese USB charger out of a power strip, and it came apart and exposed the bare AC mains terminals. I don't know how I didn't get shocked then

Ok, there was a pop and the breaker tripped, now what?
>>
>>109541686
I stuck a neon bulb directly into a wall outlet once.

my cousin's power button on his crt was broken/stuck so he removed it and put a fork in it and pushed the fork to turn it off and on
>>
one time i tried plugging in an old power supply that had a loose socket and it exploded. i probably would have died if my hand was closer to the end of the cable
>>
>>109541686
I've done this quite a lot just by installing switches and outlets with the breaker on.

>loose socket
As in, it wasn't fully plugged into the wall, or what?

I remember seeing a couple guys test one of those shock collars that are designed to discourage dogs from barking. It seemed way more painful that it needed to be.

When I was a kid, I wrapped some wire around a plasma ball. Burned my thumb pretty bad. I will never forget the smell of burning skin, it reeked horribly for a couple days.
Also got a shock from a faulty old tube based capacitor tester, could have been up to 600v, not really sure what the actual value was. Felt that one from my fingertips all the way to the bottom of my feet, like thousands of needles along the whole path.
I learned pretty quick to not carelessly fuck around with HV
