Oh, look at the bougie person using different items for different ratings…
Just jam a penny in there and you’ll always be good.

It’s a global conspiracy, ever notice how most of the people smart enough to just use pennies just coincidentally die in house fires?
The fuse lobby is out to get us brother!

Considering the ring tab, this image is at least 40 years old.

Not even kidding, I was looking everywhere to find this exact image today… Have you been listening to my conversations?
Lol for real though, thanks for posting! Saved me from feeling too bad about my subpar searching skills.

Can’t remember if its was 22 short or long but mythbusters did an episode on dieing to using 22 as a stand in for a glass fuse. Completely plauseable

A .22lr fits in some 3AG fuse holders. They do produce an audible alert when they blow. I’m not sure what the current rating is though.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’m guessing it’s well above 3 amps.
this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Well i figure at least till a Dead short.

Does 16amp including the cheese or not? Can I still eat the cheese after the “fuse” blown?
Malgas@beehaw.org 8 months ago
Is it 16 amps for the entire wedge of cheese or just the wrapper?
goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
I can’t tell what the 250 amp one is. Just random metal?
kjo@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Crinkled/rolled metal foil, probably.

I seriously had a .22lr round in place of a fuse at my old house. It was a powderless reload but still a ridiculous fire hazard and I refused to replace it with an actual fuse until we got the fuse box replaced with breakers.
I thought the electrician would shit a brick but he just gave me a deadpan “do you know you’re using a bullet as a fuse?”
Big letdown.
grue@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That electrician has seen some shit.

Well, the rating says 350A and I seriously doubt you woul’ve had an industrial grade furnace in your old house.

I’m pretty sure there was an honorary darwin award given to a man who used a live .22 round to put in place as a fuse in his car. The angle was apparently just right to have the bullet hit both balls.
