> It's disappointing how most of the articles and videos criticizing the dangerous content don't explain why exactly something is dangerous. Which videos are you talking about in particular? Both the Ann Reardon and the Big Clive video explains exactly what makes this experiment more dangerous than others people do. The Big Clive one in particular goes into interesting details about how a ground fault circuit interrupter works, and why it doesn't protect you in this case. > They just scream "omg high voltage" "one mistake you're dead" and so on. The ones I have seen don't scream. They calmly explain that the voltage generated in this setup is much much higher than the voltage the average experimenter has experience with. About the "one mistake you're dead". That is the crux of the matter. People should be aware of how thin the margins are, and how few guard rails protect them in any particular situation. > it reminds me of the medieval experimenters and alchemists being oppressed by the conformist public. Who is oppressing anybody here?
