that is a water heater. I know you meant a centralized water heater tank, but they work in the exact same principle

The current doesn't go trough water because the resistance inside it is where the current goes trough. The water is nowhere near as conductive as that metal and at best, you'll get a small shock everytime you turn the shower on if the house/shower doesn't have a proper grounding and grounding is super easy to do anyways

Electric showers are perfectly safe if you aren't a complete retard. When properly installed they work flawlessly and are a low cost and effective alternative to things like gas or central heating.

electroboom has a video about it if you're serious about this
to put it briefly, water is not conductive enough to be a concern in most cases, and the grounding takes care of the rest in edge cases.
old appliances like toasters with no insulation were way more dangerous than electric showers.

I hate you niggers, you wouldn't have 2 live wires just hanging from the ceiling and say " well if I don't touch it it'll be fine ". The only acceptable way that shower head would be considered safe IMO is if the heating element is away from shower head and connected with a non conductive hose.
>>
>>201512171
why do you think it's not acceptable? i've explained why it's safe
yes, a central heating system is safeR, but not as easy to install or efficient, there's reasons to not have one.

it's not a small amount of money, you have to run a whole separate line of insulated pipes for every bathroom.
you take calculated risks every day, don't you? the lesser risk of central heating isn't worth the added cost. i would consider it if i was building a house, but i absolutely wouldn't break a whole house to install it.

How hot do these actually get the water? Like, could you scald yourself or is the water only kinda warm?
>>
>>201512259
It doesn't have to be central heating, just have the heating element separated so you dont bump your head into it or something. It'll reduce the heating effect but it'll be safer.
>>201512272
Yeah and I have to seen anyone use that.

marginally safer, maybe. i believe a similar design exists in some places. this mostly a psychological thing, touching or bumping the shower head isn't an issue.

My friend. It works. Brazilians take 2 hot baths a day on average. A Brazilian will take 58400 baths on a 35 amp electrical resistor until he dies of cardiac problem at 80.
The number of baths in electric showers that Brazilians will take in the next 80 years is this
1.2264e+13
In other words. It's cheaper than gas in Brazil. It's not dangerous because of the data from the last 100 years and a sample of at least 210 million inhabitants who will take 58,000 baths a lifetime.

No one is going to use gas here just because you do.

How does this work in the USA? I just need to enter the country.

Literally living in America or Europe is not a block for me, one is literally just entering the other is just going to the country that gives the visa. If I want to go to Spain and stay there for 2 years, they'll give me a residence visa because I'm Latin too....

>But the relative statistic is what correctly represents the willingness of people in a country to leave it.
It doesn't, you're not considering the feasibility of leaving. Moving from Poland to Germany is much easier than moving from Brazil to US, or any european country.
Brazil surrounded by other shithole countries, good countries are much further away.
Mexico would be much higher if the american border wasn't so strong, or if they didn't already have generations of mexicans living there.
Brazilians may be even more willing to leave than irish people, but it's not as feasible

It's definitely not difficult to leave Brazil and go to the USA. Even São Paulo has a problem with Asians coming down to go to the USA.

We technically do have a Nobel Prize winner: Peter Medawar.

He was born and raised in Brazil, but he's not considered Brazilian because he moved to the UK as a teenager and we had a stupid law which made you lose your citizenship if you didn't do mandatory military service.
