    I just went to the aquarium. That’s shock is 3x more powerful than a wall outlet.

      Needs clarification - do you mean a flowery, lacey, girly American electricity outlet, or a meaty, throbbing, frighteningly-erect rest-of-the-world outlet?

        Thank you for making me picture the American wall outlet as a femboy, and the German Schutzkontakt outlet as a Giga Chad.

      Nice! How was it?

        It was fun actually. They have a place where the stingrays swim up to you and you’re allowed to pet them. I was surprised by how they actually want to get pet. They swim up to the side of the wall and come out of the water to get your attention. Like a little water dog.

        Thanks for asking!

      Thats sick. Hope you had a good time

      This is not true. The voltage is 3 times higher, that’s part of why it’s so debilitating. If the power (amperage) was 3 times higher that man would not have gotten back up. Their amperage peaks at about 1 amp, which is enough to do some damage.

        There’s no given amperage coming out of the wall. It’s a product of V=IR. Given a constant resistance for the person’s body, three times the voltage does means three times the current.

        1A amperage is a feature of saltwater eels, ones that produce electricity at much lower voltages, like 10-80V. This is a natural adaptation allowing them to maximize power output in a relatively highly conductive environment.

        The freshwater eels, the ones producing 600-800V, are only able to output about 0,1A, because that’s just how power works.

        1A at 600V would be a guaranteed instakill for a human.

      lol, I took that as you going to the aquarium to grab an eel and let us know its strength instead of relaying a fact that you learned there.

        So much for that extensively planned eel heist.

      Not 3x more powerful, but rather having 3x higher voltage.

      But still enough power to shock an adult human.

        But how many amps?

    That’s kind of shocking.
