That’s the cigarette lighter
Its the piss light. You’re supposed to piss on it.
It’s the service light. You need to call an electrician.
… preferably from outside.
It’s an emergency stop button and you need to press it NOW
Before someone asks why so much current to earth: blue N wires are connected to it too, so it’s the PEN pole of the mostly obsolete but still very common TN-C system. Such current to PE would instantly trip GFCI/RCD in a modern TN-C-S system, now it’s just overcurrent through some appliance or wiring gone short circuit and non-compliant breaker/fuse that failed to trip.
I remember one time I was at a large industrial site working on a cabinet cooler (dedicated air conditioning for large electrical cabinets) on a motor drive cabinet which was was running 480V 3 phase with feeder wires the size of my thumb when their safety guy walked by and saw me poking at the cooler fan with a screwdriver. The conversation went something like this.
Safety guy looking rather concerned: “What are you doing?”
Me: “Cabinet is getting warm because the cooler quit. The fan motor isn’t running so I’m trying to give it a bump start with a screwdriver to see if the motor is siezed. Gotta do it this way because otherwise I have to pull the whole cooler off the cabinet to access it properly.”
Safety: “You know those wires there are 480V right?”
Me: “Yup.”
Safety: “You know those will kill you if you touch them right?”
Me: “That’s why I’m not touching them.”
Are you posting to Lemmy from the spirit world?
How’d you think they became a warlock?
I thought that was how Lichs were created tho?
If you involve high enough levels of electricity you can choose which
Alternativelly, having been bitten by a radioactive animal early that day, they’re now an animal themed superhero.
Ah, the Buddhist ground. Untethered from all earthly matters.
Also occasionally self-immolates.
This is the best comment I have seen in a long time.

I am laughing my way to hell, along with you 😂
Solid shitpost. I’m angry just looking at it. Someone, anyone fight me!
Your father is a hamster and your mother smells of elderberries.
The fact that you switched the mother and father makes me unreasonably irrate😆
Like God when a sperm is wasted
No, he becomes quite irate, not irrate.
It’s been over 20 years since I’ve seen that movie…
My goal was to anger and insult you, and it appears to have worked!
They also changed the tense from past to parent…
I fart in your general direction!
Now listen here, my good man…
I fart in your général direction!
You’re going to be even more angry to learn that your apartment neighbor is using the shared building power to run an industrial aluminum smelter on his balcony as his side hustle. It does explain why he’s posting all of those pallets of 6061 alloy bar stock and ingots for sale on Nextdoor and Facebook Marketplace though.
i need to see that bosnian ape society video
That’s why my bitcoin farm keeps tripping the breakers. That bastard!
I can smell this room.
Hey everyone, I am a layman(uneducated in this field) in these matters. How does one make this happen?
There’s a positive wire touching where it shouldn’t be. The metal object, whatever it is, leads to ground, completing a circuit. Metal acts as resistance, converting electricity to heat and light - like the filaments in a toaster or an electric heater. This can also create sparks. Either way it’s a sure way to cause a fire. If the metal is thin or melts at a low temperature, or the electricity is high voltage, the metal can melt, causing leaks. Cold liquid coming in contact with hot metal can flash to steam and possibly cause an pressure explosion or worse, depending on if there’s gas or other flammable stuff in the environment. It’s also an electrocution hazard.
This can happen if summer critter gets in there and chews open a wire. That’s what usually causes actual electric fires.
I don’t want to make it happen, I’m just curious.
Better question might be: “How to make sure this NEVER happens?” 😄
well you found the fuse
Cherry flavour
It means that your fuse is still working for at least a couple more minutes
I read your comment in Dale’s voice
Forbidden gummy
It’s cherry flavored!
It’s a low current warning. It means the system needs more amps!
Instructions unclear, now driving a time traveling Delorean
It’s fun to see old reddit memes on decentreddit
