I turned on the TV and all the channels had a red bar going across the top with a scrolling text to the effect of "If you were one of the idiots who attended a 300-lap karting race indoors in Oulu on the 18th please contact the local health somethingorother because you have carbon monoxide poisoning and are probably well sick right now." (The only other times I've seen such warning texts on TV were because of a bear and some sort of toxic gas leak.)

People in urban(ish) areas here don't have guns so yes. e: Not that them having guns would make any difference whatsoever. If your kid is playing outside and a bear comes along one of them is going to get eaten.

All it takes is one really determined dude to take out a bear, people should test their luck.

Bears really aren't a problem to people unless you start running at it or somehow threatening its cubs. Most bears are scared shitless of humans.

Pro tip: if a bear wonders into town and stays there it's a safe bet that it's not a bear that is scared shitless of humans and therefore should probably be avoided, hence the warning.

I love these videos but I don't know how that kids mom doesn't beat his rear end the second she discovers the first hole in the wall. My ma would have lost her loving poo poo if I DESTROYED my wall putting my monitor through it however many times.

If he's that violent, she might be afraid of him. Kid needs some medication. Putting holes in walls like that and breaking stuff isn't normal even for a teenager.

Three-Phase posted:I'm a bit surprised at the number of videos of kids sticking things into outlets on YouTube. I've had a few run-ins with electricity over the years, but somehow I have never been knocked down or out. One time, due to a series of poor decisions and a bit of forgetfulness, I was holding one end of a severed extension cord in my mouth, and I accidentally closed the circuit with my tongue. All I got was a severe startling.

Same. I got shocked twice in a row from a wall socket. Painful and bone-jarring, but it had little other physical effect on me, and that was as a child. The most distinct thing I remember was just the sensation of the shock. It's like when your holding a vibrating toothbrush or a power tool, and you can feel the high frequency vibrations in your hand. It was similar to that, but it's like you can feel every cell in your body vibrating at an impossible speed.

I never felt a shock. It's always burning (I tend to "find" cords gnawed on my mice with my feet).

I had this happen once when I was a kid. Didn't dry off my hands after washing them, and reached to turn off the lights as I was walking out of the bathroom and grazed the wall socket instead. Fortunately, I already had the forward momentum of me walking out to door to detach my hand, but there was a good 1-2 seconds of my fourth finger feeling like it was vibrating faster than a hummingbird's wings. I don't particularly remember a sensation of pain, or even an initial shock. More of a really weird numbness and the completely unnaturally fast vibration, but the entire thing only lasted around 2 seconds and I don't have any particular desire to ever test it any further

If Twitch Plays Pokemon has taught me anything, it's that a large enough group is guaranteed to do bad things. The players would be on the ground 100% of the time if control was given to the audience.

I've been shocked once or twice and yeah, there wasn't any pain but a really weird sensation of numb vibration. Unlike other goons I found it weirdly fun so if it was at all safe I'd probably do it on purpose. I'd love to know if there's more to this than a random act of dickery.

Getting shocked by grabbing prongs in an outlet wasn't painful at all, just frightening and unpleasant. But playing with the distributor cap leads and the alternator in auto class was ridiculously painful, to the point that we had contests to see who could take the pain the longest http://youtu.be/ESwnuuSd3_0

Household power is 15 amps and automotive alternators are what, 60 amps and up? Strong enough to arc weld with at least.
