Use a Dremel tool to cut the pointy ends flat, then cut a slot in the flattened ends. Now you can simply unscrew the screws with a flat head screwdriver.
Hey, since they already fucked up your floor anyways, what they gonna do, bitch and cuss and then end up having to pay for repairs to the damages?
Ugh I want to “well, ackshually” this so badly…
You may as well, now.
Maybe if you just connect one side of the life wire to it. And ground the other one. That could work better
Please do. I don’t know what’s wrong with it
the path of least resistance for the current would be down one connected bolt, then around the top plate, and up the other battery connected bolt, never down the pole, so the ceiling/floor gets heated up, possibly burn
note: those bolts must be supper long to go from ceiling to floor
It’s rather unlikely that the person touching the pole would provide a path from the pole to ground.
12V from a car battery doesn’t do much damage. You’d need, I think, 50V or 52V to get through the skin. Now, of course, if someone were to stick it in their mouth or some other area that doesn’t have skin, it’s a different story, then they’d get heavy burn marks on the path the electricity takes. So for safer electrocution, use AC, as that will also activate your muscles and push you away. While with DC, you’ll stick to it, as you grab onto it with a death grip. For advice on hurting yourself safely, just watch electroboom on yt.
Every reply to your comment is correct. Together they explain everything wrong with the idea in that meme. I have no notes. Bravo @expatriado@lemmy.world @ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world and @markz@suppo.fi .
Same.
Inform the landlord, it’s their problem. If that’s their own property then. I don’t know a police report or something and lots of evidence and civil claims court.
Plot twist: OP installed the thing in their ground floor and didn’t measure correctly; now they at least want to cash in on the internet fame.
Constant drip of wd40 or something down it
Cut out the bottom of a plastic container, glue it to the floor, but around the screws, fill it with cheap oil and go on with your day.
Are those 1m screws or is it just in the Scandics that floors are at least 50cm thick with isolation and sound dampening?
A lot of apartments are just converted houses, or old with minimal such standards except basic structural. So the floor joists would typically be 2x10 (nominal inch). Possibly a neighbor below tried to install the pole and found only drywall ceiling and cut a hole. Instead of boxing between the joists and attaching to that, they just went higher to the next flat wood - the subfloor ply under the flooring - so possibly just 3/4".
Is she hot?
Why do you assume it is a she?
