And this is why we refer to electrical engineers as -blam!-ing memelords. “But m-m-m-muh circuit diagwam d-d-doesn’t have no red or green colors!”

  • And you’re a prime example of why even physics majors hate other physics majors.

  • Well, it shows you one way to do it.. then it’s completely different. Aaaaaaannnnd, electricity. I was electrocuted when I was two. As pain is a wonderful way to make things stay filed away in your memory, yes, I remember it - airborne backwards across the kitchen like a Warner Brothers cartoon.

Highest was 240 and that hurts like an absolute mother but 115 doesn't even phase me anymore, just an uncomfortable tingle and twinge

So, that being said, using voltage as a metric for your toughness isn’t very good.

  • I would argue otherwise. Yeah, we see volts everywhere, but it’s not very physically meaningful to the layman. Current, however, is pretty intuitive.
