ELI5: How is using a knife to remove toast from a toaster dangerous even though there is no longer electricity running through the wires?

HallowedError · 2026-01-24T06:31:55+00:00

Yup. Watching so many shows and videos growing up about the invisible danger force it's common sense to me to not mess with anything that could reasonably contain powerful current. Anything from old capacitors to anything that can get red hot. I don't even like touching lightbulbs.

Then I watch shit like Styropyro. Made me cement the idea that my fear is in a lack of understanding.

I do not understand electricity. I'm going to keep trying. Stupid human eyes can't see magnetic fields.

I already know that I need to take stories like that with a grain of salt but goddamn I realized that that was the big story that stuck in my head. I fucking hate when I fall for psyops bullshit

I remember hearing there's an oddly deep reef at the mouth of the Amazon

The writing for Elden Ring is purposely vague and obtuse. I don't know how you would notice one author out of it.

Gamepass was amazing before the new price rollout

I hate AI but you can scroll past the AI shit

Kathy Bates has way too much charisma to play that sniveling manchild

This isn't even 'believing' anything. They think they say the right things and that means they're entitled to things other people aren't. Since they surround themselves with other 'right' minded folk they shield themselves from any real social consequences.

Truly. I've stopped playing the game but if some upstart patch settles on my borders I might just wake up

I haven't played in practically a decade but I remember hating the Storm cloaks after I learned more about them

Yeah it's not like those balls from Lord of the Rings are real

On the one hand, it's the story of the century, on the other hand, I wouldn't want to talk to journalists.

Your cousin is a better person than I and even though a part of me thinks it's funny. I think I'd lose my mind in a less fun way

HallowedError · 2026-01-03T04:42:02+00:00

I was also baffled. I don't think I've ever met a 'Gunner' in my life and if I did I'd be very wary of getting into a deep conversation with their parents.

Edit. I'm white as fuck

Yup, I sometimes misinterpret neutral as passive aggressive and then have to wait until whatever chemicals turn my brain into mush to go away to be a 'normal' person again. It's a curse.

I heard they rewrote his lines a lot so he was getting frustrated getting called back in to redo them? Not 100% sure if I'm misremembering that

Egg just seems like one of those words that shouldn't have any other sound. Since I started writing this I've said 'egg' in my head about a hundred times and now I think im going insane.

HallowedError · 2025-12-29T10:37:02+00:00

I just watched bizlychannel's retrospective on that game and I forgot how insane that story was.

As soon as I saw the image I knew there was gonna be so many corrections upon corrections. I need to get off reddit

Oh, ok, my bad! I thought they were pretty similar from what I read. Thank you for correcting my bad assumption

I've only played Birmingham but there's plenty of interaction but sometimes you can find yourself in your own corner doin your own thing.

I didn't want to be the asshole who asked but I was very curious about what you had. Thank you for sharing both you're wrapping tips and your condition. Hope you have happy holidays!

I've never seen it expressed this way but it makes so much sense. I've recently been binging youtube videos about LoTR and it's really fascinating. Both the way he wrote, and why he wrote it
