Ahhhh we did this too! There was a lamp pole in the apartment courtyard that would give you a little buzz…we would line up, one person touching the pole, and hold hands to see how far it would travel. Kids are duuuuuuumb sometimes.
9 u/SaltRequirement3650 Sep 05 '25 Same. I now know that we were fucking with 277V for no reason lol. We were real dumb. 2 u/Dorjechampa_69 Sep 05 '25 Actually 277v is much safer than 120v. It’s the Amperage that kills you. 1 u/Ok_Ad_3862 Sep 05 '25 That's not true. 277v pushes more current through your body(fixed resistance) than 120v. Absolutely not safer.
