Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Nobody is going to prevent you from performing surgery on yourself at home, neither to play around with fridge capacitors.

Now try to build a nuclear reactor in your garden

I guarantee you if people found out that you were trying to operate on yourself in your home, someone is going ro rightfully try to stop you.

And to think that there is no one telling you not to and not trying to prevent you from electrocution is asinine.

But by all means stick your finger in a light socket, but if the breaker doesn't pop and you drop, you were informed it was a lethal choice.
