Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

You can't get 'electrocuted' from an earphone battery, it's not nearly powerful enough. A car battery (lead-acid) could in some scenarios deliver unpleasant shocks.
Unpleasant shocks are what I meant. English is my second language so sometimes I get terms wrong. But yeah, I wouldn't want to have an electronic device close to my ears when I'm getting drenched.
Don't worry that wouldn't happen with such a small battery. You would not feel anything at all.
You can wet your fingers and touch a 9V alkaline as an experiment, or touch that to your tongue - this has more than twice the voltage of the cell typically used in earphones
Well now, just to be contrary, I want to design a circuit that could deliver a deadly shock even with such a small battery.
I'm going to need a research lab, a few dozen live pigs, an assistant to do the soldering for me, and probably a lot of capacitors ... but I think it could be done. The key, I think, will be finding just the right combination of amperage, voltage, and frequency to best disrupt the rhythm of the heart.
