    I cannot fathom why this is the title.

      It’s a reference to a vine. “Two bros chilling in a hot tub, five feet apart cuz they’re not gay.”

        Ah yes Vine, definitely a relevant thing in 2023 that everyone references. Thanks for reminding me that Vine existed, I had actually forgotten.

      I had to grab some marshmallows for that roasting you got in those comments.

    Note to self: It’s 2023. Men still have a big fear of being labeled gay.

      As a gay man, they really really do.

        But we’re not gay

      Worse: football organisations in The Netherlands of all places are refusing to wear anything that implies sympathy to LGBTQ+ matters. Being a footballer and called gay is still a popular insult. A comedian had to start selling team captain bands, replacing the organisation’s One Love one with a new Wat Laf version (it means “How cowardly”). At least the Wat Laf is aimed at the national football organisation.

      For some reason on the other hand, the women’s football side has no problem with that, with several overt lesbians playing in the national leagues.

      My sister is a lesbian and she has a fear of being perceived as gay. She said that she’s so straight that she became a lesbian.

      Leviticus doesn’t specify a gender of the audience, so the only acceptable sex is for all straight men to become uwu lesbians.

    As long as none of them ground themselves they’re fine. Not that I think these people are smart enough to know one way or the other, but the sandals float was probably to keep it easy to plug things in

      wdym? if one touches the live and they’re grounded, they’re fucked aren’t they?

      • PP_BOY_@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        They’re not grounded when they’re standing in the pool, though. If they grabbed a ladder or if someone on the ground tried to hand them something, they’d get a good shock, but they’d trip a breaker before anything deadly happened

      What does grounded actually mean?

  • BustinJiber@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Seeing their pasty skin I think they are already ghosts, so they will be fine.

    If the pool is 98% pure water they’re probably fine unless it has piss in it

      All you need is a gfci circuit somewhere in the line to be safe.

        Although as electroboom once elegantly showed, it will still hurt like hell

    Let’s say there is an electrical shock . would it hit one of them or all of them ?

    source
    • merc@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      One or none. Electricity is hard to predict though. It tries to find the easiest way to complete a circuit, but the easiest way isn’t always easy to predict.

  • JJROKCZ@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Eh so long as they don’t ground out then they’re fine, even if they make a ground connection then the breaker will trip long before enough juice hits that pool to seriously hurt them

    • NumbersCanBeFun@kbin.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Yeah no thanks. I work in an electrical based industry and I can tell you for a fact that you don’t want 240v at 100 to 200 amps for even a second.

      I yelled at a tech the other day for not wearing hot gloves when working on a set of taps in a MSP.

        Where in the hell are you at that 200 amperage wall outlets are the norm?? In 99% of US homes outlets are 110v 15a which is enough to put you on your ass but certainly won’t kill you without prolong exposure or preexisting health factors

        A human body wouldn’t conduct that much current with mains voltage. It’s just too high resistance.

        Also pretty sure they mean breakers with GFCI. If they just mean regular circuit breakers then yeah they are fucked.

      Only if they’re using a gfci breaker. Standard breakers trip at 7A+ which is plenty enough to kill you. In the US, this breaker is on the wall outlet, in the EU, this breaker is on the central panel.

      Sort of, with the important note that “grounding themselves” can very well be “getting out of the pool”. It’s theoretically fine as long as someone outside the pool disconnects the power before any of them try to get out, but I wouldn’t rely on it.

      Relying on the GFCI wouldn’t be great, use the wrong hand to grab the ladder and you’re still sending a deadly amount of current through your heart. If you only have a breaker, you’ll probably be dead regardless. Where I live breakers will trip at about 16A (32 on sockets intended for high power electronics) which will definitely hurt a lot. Breakers and fuses are usually there to prevent fires, not to prevent electrocution!

        Bare in mind the nearest ground is also in the power strip. It probably wouldn’t go anywhere near the people. Since you also now have a short circuit it would probably trip the breaker depending on the conductivity of the water.
