Not if but when
I’ve seen this image a number of times, and it always reinforces just how dangerous electricity can be. It’s like those signs that warn “Not only will this kill you, it will hurt the whole time!”
I do a lot of DIY, but I do not mess with electricity. The idea of Alternating current is something I cannot grok, and so I choose not to try.
There was this kids show made in Britain, kind of adjacent to Thomas And Friends, called Tugs. It was about tugboats rather than steam locomotives. One episode ends with a really intense PSA about fire safety:
“Always respect fire. If you don’t, it will destroy you, your surroundings and your friends.”
This old British PSA goes hard.
I swear I thought I saw this in a video game. Atomic heart I think? I don’t actually remember.
There’s a bar in SF called kilowatt that uses this guy as a logo, they should make a variation of this with “loud drinks will kill you” or something.

It’s a safety character named Reddy Kilowatt that started out with a little power company in Alabama and became a global thing for a while.
And he needs to settle the fuck down.
They’ll say aw, Topsy at my autopsy!
Giving Roberto from Futurama vibes
As an electrical engineer I’d buy that as a shirt.
I have a set of the stickers in my saved-for-later Amazon cart.
But… Now that I know Amazon DOESN’T EVEN LET THEIR DELIVERY DRIVERS SING IN THEIR FUCKING TRUCKS I’m thinking about finally cancelling my Prime account for real and torrent the Rings of Power.
I wrote up a comment finding a few sites because I have nothing better to do with my morning
I like how this doesn’t summon the t-shirt bots like it did on Reddit. At least not yet.
Hello it is I, a human, I have found such items on the following sites: Etsy, one that looks similar on Amazon, and on a site called Redbubble

If Electricity ever teams up with the Eldritch horror that is Coily the Spring Sprite, we’re surely all doomed.
Nooooooooo electricity!
No springs!
I got this sticker on my hardhat. Never forget, kids.
