As long as none of them ground themselves they’re fine. Not that I think these people are smart enough to know one way or the other, but the sandals float was probably to keep it easy to plug things in

Jumuta ,

wdym? if one touches the live and they’re grounded, they’re fucked aren’t they?

They’re not grounded when they’re standing in the pool, though. If they grabbed a ladder or if someone on the ground tried to hand them something, they’d get a good shock, but they’d trip a breaker before anything deadly happened

Tylerdurdon ,

Imma need you guys to demonstrate with a toaster.

I don’t know why you’re doubting me, but the only reason why “toaster + bathtub” means death is because your body is in contact with the bathtub, which is grounded. Regardless, you still wouldn’t die unless you had preexisting health conditions like a weak heart.

An above ground pool like the one in the picture insulates you with a very thick floor of rubber. Here’s an article about exactly what I’m talking about

How a backyard swimming pool can become an electrical death trap

Excerpt:

“It wouldn’t look or sound any different. You could jump in, swim around and be fine in the water with the electricity but once you become the bridge to ground by touching the ladder or rail you’d die,” said the licensed electrician with 20 years of experience.

Tylerdurdon ,

That’s shocking

Only if you’re grounded 😉

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Wait so you would die, or you wouldn’t die? I’m getting mixed messages.

iByteABit ,

You are one wrong object touch away from possibly dying

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Oh nobody is more surprised than I am that I’m still alive.

aren’t we all one wrong object touch away from possibly dying anyways?

Regardless, you still wouldn’t die unless you had preexisting health conditions like a weak heart on account of the aforementioned breakers

Are you telling me reruns of mystery shows from the 70s lied to me? COLUMBO LIED TO ME?!

Wait- what about hair dryers?

AA5B ,

So , it looks like an inflatable pool - no metal structure nor ladder. Perfectly safe

… not that I’d want to test that

Someone needs to learn about acrylic and fiberglass tubs🤪

Their breakers are probably wired in place because they keep tripping too often.

TimewornTraveler ,

What does grounded actually mean?

Num10ck , in new adaptor just dropped

i made a male version of this 4 times and then bought a ABC RJ45 switchbox for my work desk, so i could choose between computer audio and desk phone audio and cellphone audio through my work headphones… lets you bump your own music in between calls without dealing with pause buttons etc… worked great.

owatnext ,

A manual switch?

Does it care that it isn’t the sort of signal it is expecting? I guess since it’s a physical switch it may not care.

Num10ck ,

yes its a manual switch, the analog audio signal doesn’t know or care. those boxes have no electronics.

some older people enjoy having a oversized knob to play with.

kpaniz , in new adaptor just dropped

I mean, the PinePhone has a switch to change the audio jack from audio into some kind of data transfer protocol. I guess someone could make it work.

kutch ,

I think you would need another connection (ie. a 3rd stripe, TRRS vs TRS cable) for data transfer. Although digital audio is all data anyways I guess and now I don't even feel right but I've already typed it out.

SpaceNoodle ,

Audio jacks have been muxed as debug serial for ages.

Weirdfish ,

I use 3.5 stereo as an rs232 connector all the time. A poe ethernet to serial would be a huge help to me.
