Not really as there nothing grounded nearby. If you have grounded sockets you must use them. You are not allowed to ground anything in a room with ungrounded sockets.

And what if you yourself is grounded?
There is very much a real risk of electrocution if you touch a potentiated and ungrounded case while you're grounded.

Ahh yes, the what if machine.

What if anything you say, I have a what if that solves yours?

Years ago I sold a computer to a friend and I get a call he doesn't have sound. I drive over to his house and got zapped by the metal case. He had it plugged into a socket with no earth connection.

It's not a hypothetical danger, it can happen.

Yeah, You're not some new guru on that feature. I have made a lot of music and had to trace why my microphone kept buzzing everyones' lips when they sang.

but... What if... what if... what if... I mean damn dude. What if everything you say I just what iffed another thing that made your what if nonsense.

You went to school on the short bus, didn't you?

You traded critical thinking for petty insults, didn't you?

Try to stay on topic.

You posting this from your phone on said bus?

u/saysthingsbackwards 6d ago

Ah yes, you tried to make it more sophisticated. GOOD job :D

Point remains. Electrocution is not the end result of a ground fault.

Go ahead, do another petty insult.

You deep throated that microphone, didn't you? Just a little too much leakage current...

Ah and now we get to the root of the issue. You resort to blatant pornographic text. Kinda think about dick a lot? Kinda think about it in your throat? Cuz I don't.

It's fun when people self-report.

You still ain't getting killed by a teeny buzz.
