Obviously, Mehdi is an electrical engineer. The “dumb guy making things explode” is a persona he puts up to teach people about the dangers and wonders of electricity.
Is that why this meme exists? I’ve never been sick from taco bell and it’s always seemed really well made. I’ve always wondered how everyone is collectively getting sick from Taco bell lmao
I’m pretty sure it is rooted in the stereotype that Mexican food gives people the shits, paired with fast food in general can fuck with people’s guts. Doesn’t help that taco bell actively goes out of their way to make unholy abominations… They’ve been the source of a couple food poisoning and salmonella outbreaks but that’s just a lettuce/produce thing iirc and hits a lot of places
Is it really 600 amps? That seems rather high. I do know that the one time I shocked myself on a car battery, it rocked my world much more than getting shocked by a 110v outlet.
They say amps are what kills you. It’s not true. You need a trifecta of current, Voltage and resistance. And usually it has to go through your heart, causing an arrithmea. Though I have seen people get their hands blown off on a 400V system.
Your body has a very high resistance. If your hands are sweaty and you place them directly on a couple of 12V terminals you might get a tingle (I’ve done this several times on accident on 24V bateries).
That’s why I always laugh at the movie trope of people being tortured with battery cables.
But there’s more. Electricity takes the path of least resistance so in this case it would probably bypass your body altogether.
But as soon as you connect this you’ll get a giant spark (basically how welders work). If that doesn’t perturb you and you somehow successfully connected this, it would get REALLY hot and burn you before it shocked you.
It has been 20+ years since it happened, but I’m pretty sure I was standing in a little puddle, or my hands were wet (can’t remember which), and my wrench just happened to bump the positive terminal and it was like “POW! Right in the brain!”. Thankfully I didn’t latch on or anything. It was instantaneous, and over in half a second, but it rocked my world for that half second or whatever it was.
You can also get that from just the label. The CCA rating (cold cranking amps) is the max current that specific battery can supply in short bursts. 600 CCA is pretty typical, but I’ve seen up to 900 in the batteries I ship.
I’ve gotten some from a brand called “Duco.” I don’t know anything about the brand except that they’ve been decent sunglasses (though they do scratch easily) and relatively inexpensive (though their price has gone up).
It’s fun what polarized sunglasses do though, tilting your head makes some things appear differently. Like tinting on car windows or asphalt on some parking lots.
Yo, I got to ask. Why is the rock even cooking? How did this become his tagline? If his name was the cook or the chef or something, sure, but the rock?
I mean… in this instance what he is cooking is explained in the OP: he uses Taco Bell ingredients to “cook up” something “special”. Which he then allows you to smell - he’s so friendly to share like that.:-P
