Battery bad… 120v ac good. Just one wire in the hot side touch one screw. Put it on a random timer, too , this way when they say it’s shocking it everyone else will think they crazy.

Decent way to end up with a manslaughter charge

I’ve been popped by 120 volt a few times.
It hurts like a motherfucker, but should throw a breaker or GFI before it kills.

“Should” is a pretty big risk considering the consequences

That’s only if it’s on a GFI. The resistance to Earth for a typical human is well below the “boy this space heater sure is drawing a lot of power” line that a breaker detects.
