  Just tried this out. The battery was already pretty dead, but it still raised the temperature of the wire by 9°C in like 5 seconds. If the battery had been full it would have gotten much hotter much faster.

    You missed their point. They were suggesting connecting the battery to different nipple piercings, thinking that would cause the electricity to travel across the chest

    The person I was replying to (to my understanding) was talking about connecting it across a two nipple pericings, one on each side

    I would be flabbergasted if 9v were even remotely capable of overcoming that kind of resistance

  If you mean the bar, then even stainless of that size is going to be very low resistance - milliohms?

  If you mean the body, then I believe it gets complicated. Skin resistance will be diminished by the piercings having a relatively large contact area and probably being somewhat sweat covered - I’m not sure exactly what the ‘skin’ inside the piercing tunnel is like. Certainly you can feel current from a 9V across the wet inner-body skin of your tongue.

  The internal bath will be quite low resistance because the inside of the body is a sack full of salty water.

  It wouldn’t be fatal, even across the chest, but it could hurt.

    If you touch the contacts of a nine volt battery to your bare skin you generally don’t feel anything m you might if there’s sweat, you’ll feel it on your skin, but across two breasts worth of chest like I understood them to mean in the comment I was replying to?

    Thats a fuckton of resistance compared to 9v of electrical pressure
