    As an electronical engineer… Electricity is scary.

    Be mindful of it ALWAYS. The behaviour can be learned. I come from line of electricians and looking back, some times I do wonder if the saying is right… Please don’t test cable by tapping it with the back of your palm, you’re not smarter by not touching it with front making potentially your hand spasm and close on the cable… The smart thing is to NOT touch it at all.

      “Don’t you guys have multimeters?”

      Someone gave me a sticker with this graphic. I immediately slapped it on the breaker box.

    This probably was a good ad because you’ll remember it after laughing at it.

    Modern workplace posters are kinda generic and boring and entirely forgettable.

      I was wondering about that smile. It felt unnaturally comedic for an actual poster? Odd vibes was all.

    Pretty certain this is not a real ad from the '70s. Reddy Kilowatt was a mascot created to promote electric power in the 1920s. Different versions of this image have been circulating on the internet for several years.
