    This is good, but it would have been nice if the symbols were more consistent. Like Volt gets a lightning bolt on her thigh… Cool. Ohm, while the sexiest in my opinion, gets an Ω on her shirt. So the under boob is great, but it’s really that smile. Finally, Amp. What going on here? Those ruddy cheeks are awesome. The rope is pretty cool too even if it’s not my thing. But where’s her symbol? I don’t particularly want to imagine a scarlet letter A.

    Honestly, the inconsistency was a bit turn off.

    Well… If you made it this far and think I’m missing the point, I hope you now realize I’m just taking the piss.

      Spoiler

      I have no idea how much of this information is slop. I think it’s funny that ChatGPT made a decent attempt at this.

      You can downvote if you want, meatbags, but I think it’s funny.

      Also, it wouldn’t let me make them scantily clad.

      The hydraulic analogy is better (accuracy-wise)

        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.

          And after that analogy is understood, make them understand thermodynamics by using electronic models.

      It’s a reference to this image that has been shared in so many different schools around the world:

      Current (measured in amperes, or amp) is the flow of charge. emf (volts) is the energy supplied to a circuit per coulomb of charge (coulombs being the unit of charge. Current is coulombs per second). Resistance (measured with ohms) restricts the flow of charge (conductors have low resistivity, insulators are high. Resistance increases with length and decreases with crosd-sectional area)

      Ohm’s law is V = IR (or, with current isolated, I = V / R)

        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.

          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.

    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.
