Surroundings An exposed circuit breaker fastened on to a wooden panel, connected with flimsy copper wires. The panel is next to a sodastream carbonator, a bag of rubber bands, a upside down vase, some wall sockets, and two more breakers.

NOTE: the Chinese text is 「請勿觸摸」(don’t touch)

    Thats not even that bad. All the wires are insulated so no danger of shorts. If you put some kind of cover infront of the whole thing, it would probably be fine.

      Yeah the electrons are happy. It’s grounded, by which I mean it’s not allowed to go out with its friends

      Top right… Wire that comes from the top of the left breaker probably used to go to the right breaker is hanging in mid air. That’s the one most likely to change someone’s life.

    Context: I’m kinda tall at 1.81m. At least taller than they are.

    I remember going to one of my neighbors… I was slightly sleepy and tired.

    They asked me to get something from their pantry and I entered it without care…

    When I walked back out, I realized that while going in, my hair brushed against an exposed, uninsulated, fucking 220v wire going to their light bulb which was hanging just above the door, kept in place by a single screw, with the cable and bulb just hanged off of it…

    Suddenly I was wide awake

      Why was there 220 powering a lightbulb?

        Probably cause that’s the standard mains voltage for the majority of the world.

        Yea as the other person said, that’s just the AC voltage here

    There’s fizzy water on-hand to douse an electric fire.

    What’s the problem?

    God… It’s not that hard to at least put a few pieces of wood over this

    It almost looks like it might be a transfer switch setup for something like a generator vs main power. As long as everyone knows the correct order and specific switches to flip. It’ll work….
