As a man who mildy electrocuted himself working on his own house yesterday I must say I’d rather be an influencer.
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”.
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.
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.
Oh nice, ragebait. That surely brings back the authentic Reddit feeling.

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

I feel influenced.
But are you also a mechanic? Cuz we need both.
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
That’s so misandristric.
Ha! It’s actually misogynistic. There’s plenty of female engineers in the field. We don’t need men to fix our stuff. If you think otherwise you’re a biggot. Educste yourself.

Shut the fuck up Karen.
Wow dude, what a way to generalize an entire gender on a single dumb person. The OOP in this tweet is dumb I know, but you aren’t any less dumber in this way
Right? Lots of women work in trades. I actually thought pointlessly gendered had come to Lemmy!
Indeed it has come [email protected]

I would love for everyone to stop wanting to be influencers.
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

Mechanics get no bitches tho, influencers are swimming in orbiter pussy.
Being an influencer today, is the modern day equivalent to going to Hollywood wanting to be a star in the 80s
Let’s have no influencers, FTFY
Go learn a trade then. Be the change.
Exactly. Ain’t no rule stating ladies can’t pick up a wrench.
