    Devil’s advocate: maybe the original Reddit post was somebody asking about how to modify the USB ports in their motherboard and a concerned commenter replied something to the effect of “If you’re not careful messing with live electricity, you may kill yourself!”

    I’ve seen this screenshot or similar ones before and people hadn’t been able to replicate the search results to find the sourced link.

    I think the post you saw on Lemmy must have gotten removed or deleted. This comment I found seems to be debunking the same post but the link button leads to a blank page. I do wish there was an archive of removed/deleted Fediverse content for reference purposes (with a reasonable level of censorship, such as omitting illegal content and personally identifying information). I think I saw another post on Lemmy of the same misinfo less recently than a day or two ago but I couldn’t find that post.
