  FYI, this won’t shock anybody, the piercing bar will just get real hot, as will the battery in your hand as you’ve just short-circuited it.

    Can confirm, I used to be a professional idiot-kid who liked playing with batteries and paperclips

    Wouldn’t expect the bar itself to get hot; just the battery. The bar will be very low resistance and therefore only a tiny portion of the total heat will end up in it.

    Now, if you stuck one terminal to one piercing and another terminal to another piercing, then you might have a bad time…

      There’s not enough voltage to drive current through that big of a resistance

    Won’t it? I remember touching the contacts on a 9v to my train track braces when I was a teenager Fucking felt that.

      Saliva is the difference. You can taste the electricity if you lick a 9v.

      A piercing would probably heat up instead of tasting spicy

    So basically this is the extreme version of putting a sleeping person’s hand in a glass of warm water.

      No, because that’s supposed to make them pee themselves.

      This is more like painting their fingernails with Nair to chemically remove them

    It won’t even work through the fabric.

  Does that actually work?

    It can’t even work through the fabric. Fails at an early stage.

      Technically, it depends on the impedence / reactance / resistance of the fabric vs the contacts.

      Yeah, a 9 volt battery probably would not be able to make the jump through many kinds of fabrics… but there probably are some very thin fabrics that it could flow through, complete the circuit… such as maybe very low threadcount, loosly knit/woven blends, gossamers of varying kinds… stuff that does generally tend to be more common as negliges or nightgowns or even lingerie… but yeah, still is probably not what I would say is generally common.

      But yeah, for the most part, there’s a reason why contact tasers have their contacts shaped as edged points, and why taser ‘pistols’ ‘shoot’ barbs that are intended to puncture through whatever fabric, and go straight into your flesh.
