There's a link to the darwinawards site on the subreddit. Apparently it was a Navy service member that stuck the electrodes into his fingers and the current traveled through the bloodstream across his heart.
Sounds like an urban legend, but if you read the back and forth on it, it's rather interesting.
- tekromancr 13y agoIt is theoretically possible to do that. Blood is wonderfully conductive with all the electrolytes.
- RobotCaleb 13y agoI believe you have to provide a path that would go through the heart. Simply piercing the same finger with both electrodes shouldn't do much to the heart.
- will_work4tears 13y agoI believe he pierced each finger with a different electrode.
