The connection ends at the first transformer. Their is no electrical connection between primary and secondary.

I more meant by the wires.
The streams don’t cross though. It’s not physically connected.
I plug the cables directly into my eardrums, don't you?
You're supposed to connect them to your cochlea. The eardrums don't respond correctly to electrical inputs.
Transformers don't physically connect, in a transformer there's a coil on each side of input and output, and the electricity is transmitted by induction.
But I enjoy the thought of being connected with people through electricity!
Sorry friend. Lemmy ShowerThoughts is way too technical.
Oh hey, I recognize that username! Hope you're having a lovely day my friend :)
Have you heard of this thing called The Internet?
Uh the Internet is wireless, Jen.
Uhm akschually you can use RJ45 and get cabled internet
Same idea works for toilets maybe
I would rather not think about that one. Seems a lot less romantic
Like how kissing is like connecting two long tubes with buttholes on either end?
i didn't need to read that, but yes!
Farthing together is love, not romance
the family that farts together, stays together.
Maybe just not in the same room.
Farths*
What is the sound of one penny farthing?
A high pitched whistle slowly fading off?
Just not in the same room.
Hopefully there's an air gap to prevent that.
I think I've been doing toilet wrong
Me and my neighbors have pooper party then :D
And a few adult massagers.
If you're alive you're connected to all things and everything indirectly. Also if you're dead.
Because of midichlorians?

That might have made more sense.
There's no definite "edge" of a proton or an electron, they just continue out asymptotically to infinity (I've been told)
if you're walking on earth, you're probably connected to someone. or showering. or breathing. or anything...
When you’re taking a shit, you’re connected to multiple other peoples arses via the sewer network.
Often times I’ve wondered how many people are fucking at a specific moment.
I think about this a lot. And usually wish I was one of them.
You likely aren't because most power supplies are fully isolated.
