don't fuck with substations. you'll kill yourself and cause a power outage. this doesn't help us. it might also put lives in danger like those who are in hospitals.
PSA for those thinking fucking about with high voltage is a good idea
If you thought that was horrifying, please enjoy this speed awareness PSA from Ireland.
The ketchup bottle squirty sound effect kinda takes the wind out of the sails of how horrifying it actually is.
This made me want to see more “shame on you” PSAs and even political ads in the US.
It’s both because some people need to hear it, and because so many of the “fuck your feelings” and “waaah did I offend you” crowd would be butthurt and offended.
Best workplace safety sign I ever saw was a high voltage lockout that said to the effect of "not only will this kill you, it will hurt the entire time you are dying". Death is not always a sufficient motivator
I really don't get why someone would do this other than to play out some sort of sick fantasy. No one good ever destroys public utilities.
