Sticking ur hand into the wires of a lightswitch

[TheDealer]

Ok if u were to unscrew the cover that goes over a lightswitch and stick ur fingers in (very deep) what would u feel? The lightswitch is in working order but not on if it matters. I did this a long time ago when I was a kid but cant remember what kind of shock I felt. I remember that I felt a shock but i dont remember how painful it was. Im very interested, and am thinking of doing it again depending on the results.

i think you should pass on this one.

go find a nice whore and stick your fingers in her instead.

Well if it didnt kill you when you were a kid, why not try it again?

if you live in north America you are on 120V circuit you feel a mild buzz and shock and maybe a tingle for a few minutes. you can get zapped just for fun without doing any serious damage (as long as you are not wet) if you live in Europe or elsewhere chances are you have a 220V circuit then its a painful zap which would leave the affected area pretty sore for a few hours, death or serious injury is much more likely in this scenario if you mess around.

also sticking your hand in the wire box wont do anything you need to unscrew the murret (little colour coded plastic caps) and touch where the wires meet. also wearing shoes might be a good idea

In theory water is neutral but in reality all water has electrolytes that conduct electricity better than the human body.

that plus our skin is not a great conductor.
when wet, all the oil/salt on our skin makes us great conductors.
