so there’s basically no way to do that from upstairs.

Incorrect.

stripper poles are tubes and spin on bearings. follow these instructions and you can most certainly electrocute someone with one.

drill a hole in the center of the floor that feeds directly into the “tube” of the pole.
strip 2-3 feet of a solid core copper wire(10-3) to bare copper and kink it into a zig-zag shape that gives it enough width to touch the pole inside.
feed the wire down into the tube until it stops
connect that wire to common
connect the bolts to live
turn the lights on when you hear them on the pole
zap!

make sure you’re using a 30amp breaker and switch
prepare your butthole for the cops when they show up
accept you probably just killed a person. two stupids don’t make a less stupid.

You’ve put a worrying amount of thought into this.

  🤣 I really didn’t. I used to be a contractor and just understand how this stuff works.
  
  best way to not kill yourself is to know the thousands of ways to die.

    Do you really? It seems like you don’t actually understand, because this won’t work.

    why not give it a try and come back to tell me I’m wrong.

What makes you think that will work? That sounds like a very complicated way of just connecting the common to live with no human in the loop.

  Ikr, this at least makes the pole get hot because current is actually running through part of it.
  But at no point is a human part of the path of least resistance for the electricity.

    the pole wouldn’t get hot unless it was made of a ferrous metal like steel or iron. most of these poles should be made of aluminum.

  the gauge of metal the pole is made from is pretty thin. on top of that, it’s very likely to be made from aluminum.
  
  if electricity follows the path of least resistance, it would be through the person.
  
  70% water
  
  large contact surface
  
  typically two points of contact from lower to upper. this is why you need to lower the wire as low as you can down the center of the pole with most of the insulation still on. you want to force the electricity to travel as far as possible until someone touches it.

    Ok, you’re still failing here. The water content of a human body is irrelevant. A large contact area is irrelevant.
    
    Let me make it easier for you. As I’m sure you know, to be electrocuted an electrical current needs to flow through someone’s body. What part of the neighbour’s body is the current going to enter, and which part is it going to leave?
