  • Way to completely and utterly ignore pathways through the body. MANY people survive serious shocks simply because the current doesn’t pass through vital organs. See: literally ANY lightning strike survivor, or any idiot that survived touching high voltage lines.

    The true, and ONLY reason people survive, is because the electricity that DID conduct through their body, did not conduct through critical body structures, like the brain-to-heart connection. Very little else matters. Someone can “survive” a lightning strike or electrical industrial accident, yet be a vegetable for the rest of their lives.

    It is EXACTLY why the only correct course of action during an unprotected thunderstorm when you feel the static charge building, is to crouch down and put as much meat between your head and the ground as possible (by cupping your head and making sure your thighs, lower legs, and arms are in contact as much as possible). Then, if you get struck, it’s the meat that takes the hit instead of your brain and core nervous system, “ideal” circumstances.



  • No. They ARE NOT decoupled. At all. Period. Unless you’re an idiot in today’s world.

    While 12v can struggle to kill someone, it still can.

    While 120v isn’t the end of the world, it’s still FULLY capable of murdering you depending on how the current flows.

    The real answer is, and ONLY is, “it depends, and you do not like the answer”.

    MANY shitty power supplies are FULLY capable of killing a human. The real question is: does your local government properly regulate things? (the answer is NO for 80%+ of the population, including americans)
