      Ok. Next time you meet a genie wish for “immunity to all electric shocks.”

      Defibrillators probably wouldn’t work on you. But in turn you can pull off an instant nudity button!

        Yeah, and that has the side benefit of fulfilling my lifelong dream to have have my nipples clamped up to a car battery!

          You can do that, won’t even hurt. A car battery is capable of providing a lot of amps, but you can’t push current, you can only pull it, and a car battery is only around 14 volts.

          I wouldn’t do it across your chest though, unless you’re sure your heart is healthy, and maybe not even then. Even low current can fuck with your heart.

        Except in this case it’s not the electric shock that kills you. An arc flash is literally an explosion, creating a blast wave of molten copper and temperatures comparable to the surface of the sun.
