    What you think the girl on the left is doing with her hand is a pretty good litmus test for how fucked up you are

    I find the Reddit/Lemmy/Etc fascination with cartoons of young girls deeply creepy. They’re everywhere. How many pathetic pedo virgins are actually out there? Apparently many.

      I do too but non of the above actually look young like the creepy stuff. I’d place them in their mid 20s

      you don’t get out much do you?

      most every society is obsessed with youth and sex. when i the last time you saw a billboard with a sexy 70 year old advertising you something?

        It’s specifically because I get out much, and am in a very long-term relationship with an actual woman that I find the idea of sexualizing cartoon images rather odd, especially when they’re very often images of children, even if not in this specific case.

        I mean, there’s a discussion above of jerking off to cartoons, but I’m the one who doesn’t get out much. Keep jerkin’ it homie.

        The gif is made from a Low Buck Garage video where he’s working on his WW2 era 6x6 truck. The part he’s staring at is the hole where the axle slots through the tire and into the differential.

        This clip is taken shortly after he attempts to put the rear axle back in and he discovers that the gears in the rear most differential are no longer aligned with the hole, he shortly after this clip describes the process for what it takes to get into the rear most differential and it’s an ordeal.

        He does come up with a plan though.

        If you’re into vehicle restoration videos he’s got a great channel. He’s also got a great sense of humor about the stuff he works on and the processes involved.

        I absolutely love the the hydraulic analogy, and my advancing age and the 'tism compels me to share a story.

        I was a science major and worked as a tutor through college. Intermediate physics was required for all science degrees, so basic electrical theory consistently came up.

        What I love about the analogy is it’s actually not perfectly analogous, but the differences become obvious once the initial concepts are understood, then those differences help students figure it all out. Its imperfection is actually what makes it perfect, and my nerdy side just loves that kind of stuff.

        The students that argued with me the most about how it was a shit analogy were my favorite because they’d so frequently knock it out of the park come exam time. It was like the academic equivalent of hate fucking.

          That is very educational, more than I was hoping for. Thank you!

          I’ve heard that saying over and over throughout my life, too, (by laymen, never actual electricians lol) and I was always confused by it.

          I was always trying to think “Okay is there some crazy high-voltage-low-amperage shock source you can sustain and be fine?” I guess I thought the difference was between something like, a taser vs. a home electrical socket.

          Is the survivability of shocks mainly in how much resistance there is in the body? Like if the volts get backlogged enough they become amps -> generate heat -> “fry” what they’re passing through?

          I really need to revisit electrical education. Especially because I wanna make neat gadgets…😅

          But yeah it sounds like the saying is pedantic, like “It’s not the fall that kills you. It’s the impact.”

          Something obvious to utter in a way that makes you sound deep and profound to dumb people. LOL

            Kind of, but they are misunderstanding the saying. It refers to the fact that if the available supply of current (maybe it should say power?) is sufficiently limited, it is possible for a person’s body to conduct hundreds of thousands to millions of volts without pain or injury.

            That said, high voltage behaves different and there are a lot of factors that make it unsafe.
