As an electrical engineer I'd buy that as a shirt.

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like how this doesn't summon the t-shirt bots like it did on Reddit. At least not yet.

I wrote up a comment finding a few sites because I have nothing better to do with my morning

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.

My dad bought a bunch of these, and gave them out to the whole family for Christmas lol

I have one on my tablet. I think it's pretty humorous

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!

If Electricity ever teams up with the Eldritch horror that is Coily the Spring Sprite, we're surely all doomed.

Coily from A Case of Spring Fever

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Nooooooooo electricity!

[–] Scrawny@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

No springs!

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."

I got this sticker on my hardhat. Never forget, kids.

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.

I’ve got this sticker on my laptop at work! And whenever ~~the idiots~~ ~~the “engineers”~~ my coworkers ~~have a death wish~~ ~~don’t know how to read~~ ask me to do something stupid I like to point to it and wait for them to see it
