  It’s literally impossible to kill yourself by sticking a fork into the outlet. The reason is simple. The path to ground only passes thru the fork.

    Could probably still start a fire, though.

      Then you’d have to wait patiently for it to pick up a bit. It takes a good fire to do you in.

    unless you’re grounded somewhere else

    Also he has a 4 prong fork. No way he’s getting that in a 3 hole outlet

    that sounds like a challenge

    If the live side makes contact first you have an issue though. Because then the path to ground passes through the fork, up the handle and through you. Then your muscles tense and you might not make the neutral side connect the other end fork anymore.

      But if you don’t actually complete the circuit to ground, then current cannot actually pass through you, only voltage. You’ll feel a tingling. See if you can turn on an LED by connecting its ground lead to your carpet or tile floor.

    Well, maybe if you are covered with petrol (gasoline) and you stick it in long enough for the bottom of the handle to get hot enough to ignite it.
    Of course, that is assuming that the Voltage is high enough to get the metal hot enough before the petrol evaporates away.

      OK, noted… Dose in patrol, then plug fork.

    Thanks that means better connect a at the finger and one at the leg. Got it! /s

    Would that even do much? Apart from frying your hand.

  Was Connect Fork too much of a stretch?

  Pin the tine on the outlet?

  …and you are just gonna fail at that and blow a fuse.

    fu

    Fuses protect wires in the walls, not what you plug into the socket.

    If the tine in the neutral socket makes contact before live, it’ll probably just pop the fuse. Hot first, and you better hope it’s a GFCI.

      So, we are a bit trollish today. I’ll match the mood.

      In your basic euro socket the safety latches don’t open unless you poke both holes at the same time.

      If you cut two middle spikes of a fork and manage to shove it in the socket, you’ll just short the phase to the neutral and blow a fuse. You’ll be part of a partial circuit and feel it, but most of the current will favor the direct “fork connection”.

      If you are in the United States of Dumbfuckistan and only have 120Vac in the socket, considering surface area of contact to the fork, you’ll probably only get little over 20mA running through you. It’ll take a long time to get respiratory arrest. You’ll probably get bored and detach yourself by leaning back. Heart complications may still follow.

  My dipfuck younger brother once stuck some chicken wire in an outlet, and scared the shit out of himself. I had acquired the chicken wire in order to make a turtle trap, that ended up working too well.

  I did that as a (stupid) kid. I did obviously survive. But it was one of the few sockets that wasn’t really protected, so the result was a power-outage for the whole street, and a few guys with fancy protective clothing (against high-voltage) came to fix this…
