@wire_you_mad: ⚡ RESPECT THE WHITE WIRE — Electricity Oversimplified On Purpose, Part 3 That white wire can kill you. Everybody's scared of the black wire. The white one's "just a neutral" — until it breaks. Then it's sitting at 120 volts looking for a way home… and if you grab it, YOU just became the way home. Same thing at your house: two 120V legs sharing one neutral. Lose that neutral and the legs split 240 — the light side climbs and cooks your electronics, the heavy side sags and your lights go dim. Flickering lights, one side brighter, appliances dying one at a time? That's your neutral failing. Respect the white wire. It's the one everybody stops checking. I've been hit by a neutral. Have you? 👇 #electrician #sparky #viral #trades #bluecollar --- Pinned comment: I've been hit by a neutral. Have you? 👇
The black wires only make up 13% of the population but commit 90% of crimes

I got held last week by 277v for every bit of 2 minutes I know for sure. Wire nut popped off and held me immediately as I touched it. Had to lean off the ladder backwards to get off of it once I finally gained the strength to lean back. Idk if my hand is fucked or not.
