    12V from a car battery doesn’t do much damage. You’d need, I think, 50V or 52V to get through the skin. Now, of course, if someone were to stick it in their mouth or some other area that doesn’t have skin, it’s a different story, then they’d get heavy burn marks on the path the electricity takes. So for safer electrocution, use AC, as that will also activate your muscles and push you away. While with DC, you’ll stick to it, as you grab onto it with a death grip. For advice on hurting yourself safely, just watch electroboom on yt.
