Did you have to take off to get back inside the fenced in area?
I just held it in my hand when I ran out inatead of wearing it since the electric fence experience was first. Tossed it back across but not far enough. Double zap!
One day as a teenager I was screwing around with the cattle prods they sell at the local farm supply store. I pushed the button a few times and nothing happened – no sparks, no noise. Clearly it doesn’t have batteries in it …
Computer froze, stupidly tried to just unplug it instead of flipping the PSU switch, ended up grabbing the prongs while they were still mostly plugged in.
That caused my heart to skip a few beats, literally, gave me an arrhythmia for about 15 minutes.
I accidentally tried it ones trying to plug something in in the dark. Had my finger between the prongs to feel where the outlet was. Had to use my other hand to unplug the outlet to free it. Was perfectly fine afterwards somehow but also strong recommendation against it.
Just wanted to know if it hurt more than an electric fence. Having ADHD bypasses some hesitation when I know it isn’t likely to cause severe injury or death.
Honestly they’ve mostly all felt the same to me. Perhaps if you had a wildly different fence that put out something like 10x the electrical rating you’d feel a difference, but every fence I’ve seen used is usually similar, around ~10k volts, I think.
Not 30 minutes ago I burned myself on my cast iron pan because even though I could tell the handle was warm, I figured surely I could deal with it long enough to scrape out the crumbs. My oven mitt was literally within arms reach and I just… didn’t bother.
Idk if that helps answer your question but there ya go
I imagine it’s like the urge to lick a 9-volt battery or touch the plate after the waitperson says “careful, it’s hot”. It’s unpleasant, they know it’s unpleasant, but they have to check for themselves.
I don’t think they are the same species as we.
Just imagine you are watching a documentary about great apes, and the world kind of starts to make a lot more sense.
Viewing other humans this way can lead to some pretty negative thinking, like racism. We’re all humans, with vastly differing cognitive structures, trying to mesh together.
I have never felt more autistic. Do people really need to lick fire to know it will hurt?
A couple of ways of interpretating this maybe:
Curiosity 100%
ADHD overrides a bit of impulse control.
As an ADHDer who wore a dog shock collar to test I can verify.

A lot of shock collars are remote controlled, not just with the weird invisible fence gimmick.
This. It was a remote with adjustable power levels. The lowest wasn’t too bad but it was an eye-opener at the highest setting. lol
Most shock collars on the highest setting can cause burns, and prolonged shocks can do permanent damage.
Honestly, shock collars should be fully illegal.
As someone with a high threshold for pain, I’m sorta curious. Not about a “can I take it”, but rather will it make me laugh or actually hurt.
Yep, same here, just ‘hrm… i… wonder…’
I actually did this, tasered myself with my … friend who is a girl but was not my girlfriend… with her self defense contact taser.
In summary:
Ho-Lee Fuck.
Yeah, that shit hurts quite a fucking lot.
I mean, I was laughing as well, but mostly out of being zapped into, ahem, a state of shock, full adrenaline dump on that much sharp, specific pain.
Up to that point in my life, I’d never been electro zapped beyond one of those plasma ball things or the ole rub a balloon on your hair thing…
Yeah, yeah, a loooot more voltage and amps in a taser, do not recommend, unless you just are an actual masochist.

I learned something that day.
Have you tried shocking yourself with an outlet or equivalent?
Not intentionally, but, accidentally once.
Computer froze, stupidly tried to just unplug it instead of flipping the PSU switch, ended up grabbing the prongs while they were still mostly plugged in.
That caused my heart to skip a few beats, literally, gave me an arrhythmia for about 15 minutes.
Again, do not recommend.
I accidentally tried it ones trying to plug something in in the dark. Had my finger between the prongs to feel where the outlet was. Had to use my other hand to unplug the outlet to free it. Was perfectly fine afterwards somehow but also strong recommendation against it.
Just curious how they compare 😂
Flash bulb circuit on a disposable camera
Waaay worse than a wall outlet
Its point two. 100%.
Live a little!

It hurt more than the fence FYI.
But have you compared the fence to other fences? We need to get scientific about this.

Oh for fucks sake, there’s one for everything.
Maybe that fence was weaker then others, you need a control variable

So? I know it hurts, I’ve zero idea what the feeling is like and would love to experience it.
Pain is temporary, a curious mind is forever.
As a boss of mine used to say, “electricity comes from the outlet and tastes like ouch”
The pain is part of why I wanna do it. I play with electricity for fun and pleasure.

Speak for yourself homo sapiens. I’m not part of your club.
