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
Is that an upside down vase on a piece of rebar?
Correct
Looks like a face at a quick glance.
I can’t unsee it now. thank you!
Is there a Pareidolia community on Lemmy? That’s one of the fun ones I miss from… The Other Place
3 breakers? thats quality eletric installation! I am stuck with one for the whole house
I see someone else has gingerly approached it
There’s fizzy water on-hand to douse an electric fire.
What’s the problem?
This is just a picture of my sinuses and my intestines.
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….

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

I’ve totally seen worse. Farmer jackleg electricianing can be real spooky.

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.

Looks like it has electrical tape on it but not sure
