So I just discovered these are a thing:
NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND VOLTS? I can’t find anything online that agrees about how dangerous voltages of this sort are (as little as 50V could kill you but 10,000V might not?), and indeed I’m finding stuff saying 950,000V here is advertising bullshit and current flow is what you should really worry about… but even if it is advertising bullshit, I’m still a bit worried about who would want something that theoretically deadly and why…
Anyway, I heard about Hike N Strike via Stephen Colbert, funnily enough, whose latest monologue addressed some January 6 insurrectionists being jailed, one of whom was a guy called Richard Barnett, the guy who was photographed in Nancy Pelosi’s office, and who was just found guilty on all counts including entering with a deadly or dangerous weapon… the weapon in question being one of these Hike N Strike things. Though, hilariously, he apparently tried to claim it wasn’t dangerous cos it had been in the shower with him the day before; I can only suppose there was no toaster he could take in the bath with him…
