Not sure how peeing specifically on a "3rd rail" is relevant. The distance seems more relevant, as the further away your pee-droplets reach, the further away they'll move from each other. But stand close enough and the stream will be unbroken.
- boredumb 3y ago"3rd rail" probably because it's a half joke/half warning about the subways in NYC being electrified on the 3rd rail and not to be a jerk and piss in public.
- codetrotter 3y agoYes, distance is important of course. The distance they tested is still pretty close. Only when the test dummy was abnormally near was the circuit closed. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3pidli https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3pidli So therefore, in normal circumstances you should be safe from nanobots swimming up your pee hole.

- giardini 3y agoYeah, but it's a lot funnier to stand "miles away from an electric fence and pee at it" since it establishes masculine dominance and indicates an incredible level of skill, not to mention unbelievable "pee pressure". Definitely Paul Bunyan-esque! Why do I get the impression we have a lot of non-native English posters here today?!
