An exposed circuit breaker fastened on to a wooden panel, connected with flimsy copper wires. The panel is next to a sodastream carbonator, a bag of rubber bands, a upside down vase, some wall sockets, and two more breakers.

NOTE: the Chinese text is 「請勿觸摸」(don't touch)

Thats not even that bad. All the wires are insulated so no danger of shorts. If you put some kind of cover infront of the whole thing, it would probably be fine.

[–] lung@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah the electrons are happy. It's grounded, by which I mean it's not allowed to go out with its friends

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I've totally seen worse. Farmer jackleg electricianing can be real spooky.

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Top right... Wire that comes from the top of the left breaker probably used to go to the right breaker is hanging in mid air. That's the one most likely to change someone's life.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks like it has electrical tape on it but not sure

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Ahh, yeah, maybe. Looked like exposed copper to me but it might be covered.

All good then!

[–] UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Well i wouldnt want to touch this, even without the text

Context: I'm kinda tall at 1.81m. At least taller than they are.

I remember going to one of my neighbors... I was slightly sleepy and tired.

They asked me to get something from their pantry and I entered it without care...

When I walked back out, I realized that while going in, my hair brushed against an exposed, uninsulated, fucking 220v wire going to their light bulb which was hanging just above the door, kept in place by a single screw, with the cable and bulb just hanged off of it...

Suddenly I was wide awake

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why was there 220 powering a lightbulb?

[–] dogdeanafternoon@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

Probably cause that’s the standard mains voltage for the majority of the world.

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yea as the other person said, that's just the AC voltage here (Romania, I think it may be the same across EU)

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that an upside down vase on a piece of rebar?

[–] YICHM@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago
[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Looks like a face at a quick glance.

[–] YICHM@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can't unsee it now. thank you!

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is there a Pareidolia community on Lemmy? That's one of the fun ones I miss from... The Other Place

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Imma touch…

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

I see someone else has gingerly approached it

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

3 breakers? thats quality eletric installation! I am stuck with one for the whole house

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least you have a main cutoff. I have all the breakers and no way to kill power to the panel.

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Never heard of wire cutters? 🙄

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

There's fizzy water on-hand to douse an electric fire.

What's the problem?

[–] titter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

This is just a picture of my sinuses and my intestines.

It almost looks like it might be a transfer switch setup for something like a generator vs main power. As long as everyone knows the correct order and specific switches to flip. It’ll work….

God... It's not that hard to at least put a few pieces of wood over this
