Why is no one mentioning electricity as a method

[blacksand]

Anyone heard of pole pig transformers being used in reverse? Apparently like 33kv is achievable.

Not to encourage anyone, but I'm reminded of fractal wood burning. It was circulating for a while as a cool art trick, but it was so extremely dangerous that multiple people accidentally died. It involved using the transformer in a microwave to produce a higher voltage than normally provided by household electricity. For wood burning, you soak the wood in a solution, hook it up to the transformer, and turn the power on to create a "lightning strike / vein" effect.

Wouldn't recommend it though, even if it's "effective" it looks excruciatingly painful.

So basically when my mother was pregnant with me, her brother offed himself with electricity. I'm not sure how he did exactly , but it always felt like the method i should go for too.
The issue here is , it feels like everyone avoids speaking bout electricity, as if it's some sorta of a redacted method.
Idk know enough about the subject , but I have seen many videos of humans and birds alike unintentionally touched those street cables and instantly fry and die.
my question is , are those cables the same ones that we find connected to our houses, and if yes then why isn't this talked about enough. any information is greatly welcome !

it might work - in some places it can take a huge amount of effort to get to the cables that will do it, which makes it less feasible

doing it in the home is almost impossible. most homes have safety switches now. my mother in law ran over the cord with the electric lawn mower and thankfully it did not even trip the safety switch or hurt her. i know from experience, that pre safety switch time, that putting your hand into a lamp socket and turning it on does not work. perhaps if my right foot was touching the floor, or my metal bed frame, it would have, but all i got was my arm moving from my waist area to fully out stretched above my head before i knew what was happening. if i was laying in my bed as normal, i have no doubts that i could have broken my arm when it hit the bed frame or wall. to say it took a fraction of a second is an understatement - my arm was above my head before i felt it. like with anything, it depends on many factors, and many of those cannot be controlled. i do not think it would be worth trying, simply because if it did not work, there would most likely be some form of injury which then leads to questions about how it happened and why you did it
