That piece of gas flex has become the only neutral current path for the electrical service to the house. This occurs when the electrical service's neutral conductor fails, and there is no good bonding of the gas service at it's entrance point, and the water service to the building is plastic.

Just preheating the gas a bit, it’s for better thermodynamics.

Spicy rope

I'd recommend turning off the power before someone goes from blue to well done

Good news: The water heater is working

Bad news: The water heater is working

Yeah, imma go turn off the main breaker in the panel and just gtfo and go sit in my car down the street while I calm the fuck down for an hour. Lol fuck that. Gat damn electrified gas line what the fuck.

Oh hell yeah, you guys got the Gamer Tank™ with RGB lighting!

That's not a "take a picture" moment.

Well that is ... sub-optimal.

Nope Hose

Water heater operating at 110% efficiency.

Vaporwave water heater.

How the hell is that pipe holding up the pressure

Back when I was married, I would not have been surprised if my water heater line looked like this when my (now ex-) wife took showers. That woman would take insanely hot showers. 😅

As an aside, she also had an insane sense of smell too.

Come to think of it, maybe she is an X-Men mutant.

Which means my kids are going to be X-Men.

Oh boy.

STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT!

I submitted this photo to chatgpt and it said my toaster was improperly wired.

Lick it. See if it tastes like strawberry. /s Please don't actually do it. :D

I'm sure it's fine don't worry about it.

I'm reminded of my friend's old condo. Somebody had used steel branding to strap the outlet for the mounted microwave directly to the gas line.

That's how lightsabers are made.

So it is an air heater and water heater.

Good think that is not a gas line or anything.....

Well that ain't supposed to happen.
