How many of you test a 9v battery on your tongue?

They were called transistor radio batteries. I would not recommend having your kid put one on their tongue. 😖🫣

I grew up where and when there were some old school phones still around that had a crank on them.
There was some electrical fuckery that went on with them 😂

9volt on the tongue is the best! We would also stick aluminum gum stick wrapper in sockets to connect the circuit… blew a few breakers lol.

My 5th grad teacher had an old wind up magneto phone with the wires exposed and he'd have us all stand in a circle holding hands to complete the circuit. Whoever shook their hand free got clowned by the rest of the class 😆😆😆
High school teacher did the same. Kinda like musical chairs until one person was left.

Never done it. Not going to either! 😂
Surely you’re not serious.

Reminds me of the first time I got zapped from a cars coil. Older kid in auto shop grabbed me, touched coil wire. ZAP!!!
Went through him and straight to me.

If you wear braces I don’t recommend touching the negative to your upper braces and the positive to the lower, I did it and my life flashed before my face!
Estes model rocket launch switch. Yep. 😂

When I tell my kids not to do something because I’ve been there and done that I mean it god damnit !

In high school I worked at a mom and pop hardware store. We all had cigar boxes to put our keys sunglasses etc. We would rig a 9v and steel wool so that when a coworker would open his box it would catch 🔥.
Wouldn't mind being young and dumb again.
