The connection ends at the first transformer. Their is no electrical connection between primary and secondary.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I more meant by the wires.

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

The streams don’t cross though. It’s not physically connected.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I plug the cables directly into my eardrums, don't you?

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

You're supposed to connect them to your cochlea. The eardrums don't respond correctly to electrical inputs.

[-] pepperonisalami@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago

Transformers don't physically connect, in a transformer there's a coil on each side of input and output, and the electricity is transmitted by induction.

But I enjoy the thought of being connected with people through electricity!

Sorry friend. Lemmy ShowerThoughts is way too technical.

[-] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

Same idea works for toilets maybe

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago

I would rather not think about that one. Seems a lot less romantic

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

Like how kissing is like connecting two long tubes with buttholes on either end?

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

i didn't need to read that, but yes!

[-] iii@mander.xyz 14 points 1 month ago

Farthing together is love, not romance

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

the family that farts together, stays together.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 month ago

Maybe just not in the same room.

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

What is the sound of one penny farthing?

[-] Sinkbath@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

A high pitched whistle slowly fading off?

[-] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Just not in the same room.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Hopefully there's an air gap to prevent that.

[-] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I think I've been doing toilet wrong

[-] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Me and my neighbors have pooper party then :D

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And a few adult massagers.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

If you're alive you're connected to all things and everything indirectly. Also if you're dead.

The Powerhouse Of The Cell™

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That might have made more sense.

[-] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There's no definite "edge" of a proton or an electron, they just continue out asymptotically to infinity (I've been told)

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

if you're walking on earth, you're probably connected to someone. or showering. or breathing. or anything...

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 14 points 1 month ago

When you’re taking a shit, you’re connected to multiple other peoples arses via the sewer network.

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Often times I’ve wondered how many people are fucking at a specific moment.

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I think about this a lot. And usually wish I was one of them.

[-] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

You likely aren't because most power supplies are fully isolated.

    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
