I'm going to be annoying and tell you that you were mildly shocked, not electrocuted. "Electrocute" specifically refers to lethal exposure to electricity, as a portmanteau of "electric" and "execute".
Though I think the word is starting to go the way of "literally".
Am an electrician, we say electrocuted, shocked, or zapped depending on severity. I can tell you none of my coworkers who have been electrocuted died. Why be pendantic, when its rarely used in that sense.
Also a lethal amount of voltage can be damn near any voltage, dc, or ac. So still technically correct. Being hit by 240, or 120, can most certainly kill you. It just rarely does so unless something goes very wrong.
Even when they enter the trades, some of them are still dreaming of becoming influencers. We had a builder at our house who popped up when I was scrolling through TIk Tok. We were talking one day about how he was going off on his own as a builder and all of a sudden we were talking about what was clearly his real dream of becoming some kind of car influencer.
Pointlessly gendered
Don’t you know that women can’t be electricians? It messes with the ovaries.
(Very big /S just in case someone isn’t paying attention)
Said the fucking influencer wannabe
I'm going to influence the next election and no one will stop me
I would love for everyone to stop wanting to be influencers.
Being an influencer today, is the modern day equivalent to going to Hollywood wanting to be a star in the 80s
false dilemma, you can be an electrician influencer.
that's like all I get on tiktok now is people showing off their finishing touches.
Or on youtime with our one and true eyebrow: ELECTROBOOM
Imagine having your home's electics done by Electroboom. I think I'd rather try my luck by doing the electronics myself.
Solution: promise a nice tool if nothing breaks. I am sure then he is very careful
But what are you doing as an electrician influencer? Influence the meaty-chlorians to charge your devices?
here is a video about electrobooms holidays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFrMcYX6IV4
i think it is funny
That's so misandristric.
Right? Lots of women work in trades. I actually thought pointlessly gendered had come to Lemmy!
Indeed it has come [email protected]
Can women please stop trying to be OnlyFans models we need mothers and emotional support I'm begging you
Also +1 for those who pointed out how weirdly gendered this post was
Oh nice, ragebait. That surely brings back the authentic Reddit feeling.
/s
And my axe! I also choose this guy's dead wife!
This! Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
I know it's a joke but these comments gave me a visceral reaction
Electrician reporting in
But are you also a mechanic? Cuz we need both.
I feel influenced.
Mechanics get no bitches tho, influencers are swimming in orbiter pussy.
Go learn a trade then. Be the change.
Exactly. Ain't no rule stating ladies can't pick up a wrench.
Let's have no influencers, FTFY
Anti-feminist take.
As a man who mildy electrocuted himself working on his own house yesterday I must say I'd rather be an influencer.

If electrocution is lethal, mild electrocution would be sub-lethal and just make you with you were dead, yes?
Also incorrect. It's to be injured or killed by electric shock.
Be the change you want to see.

Doesn't pay enough and the hours are insane
I think I'll do none of these things.
Of course I know that. And I did die. Just mildly. WooooooOOOOOOOooooooo!
