    1. IIRC: this is actually quite damaging and dangerous to do as the switch contacts will arc rather than having a snap closed.

      Mildly interesting, sure. Mildly dangerous? Mayhaps

    2. “What’d you do all day?”
      “Played with my switch.”
      “Oh what games are you playing?”
      “Games…?

      Can you share how you did this? I have this issue – do I need to call an electrician?

      I did this once when I was a kid. I heard a lot of weird electrical arcing sounds. I got scared when I smelled something burning.

      My question would be, are people really this dumb? But, alas, the answer is yes, with proof!

    6. Do you want to entangle photons? Because that’s how you entangle photons. The technical term is a Schrodinger switch.

    7. surprised it isn’t sparking. I tried it when I was younger and it started making dangerous sounds

    8. Dont do this! I did this as a kid.. switch got hot and started humming. Not good. Dad was mad 🙁

    9. Engineer designs snap switch motion to ensure positive switching action and prevent arcing. Customer manages to short cut safety feature and post a photo. The internet is awesome!
