Absolutely, and I largely understand this because I experimented, don’t forget the battery
The gloves, and any taser, should have some kind of cutoff. But if they didn’t and you dropped something like a perfect sheet of graphene between the contacts?
Something will melt in the circuit, if it’s not in the conductor it’s going to be in the battery
Okay, that’s the sort of catastrophic failure I was hoping for. Lowest-bidder junk might skimp on the safety features, especially if they don’t think the people buying them will care enough to check. Also why my test plan involves pushing the button with a stick so I’m not holding it when the angry pixies come out to play.

That’s the attitude. I’m still here because I do dumb things wisely
Also if you do decide to play around video it. We have far too much AI slop and far too little surprise content
