A pinhole IS a full conduction breach, idiot.

I know a guy who had lightning hit his barn. Totally damaged the barn wiring. But it also travelled thru the wires into his house. He had copper water pipes which were bonded to the house breaker panel. One long straight pipe had an elbow. Oddly enough, the lightning must've shot straight down the pipe and burned a hole in the elbow. Water was shooting out that elbow, and the hole was an obvious burn hole. looked like someone touched it with a welding rod. I can only guess the lightning didnt follow the 90 deg turn, it just blew right thru that elbow. I ended up fixing that pipe for him, and eventually helping him replace the barn wiring.

The person who said " No one has metal drain pipe, do they?" apparently knows nothing about plumbing. In older homes drains were ALL metal. Usually brass trap connecred to steel pipe, and further down, to cast iron main stack pipes. So even if the tub itself was not metallic, it had a metal drain and overflow directly grounded.

But modern drain pipes are PVC plastic.

Not really. Most plumbing HOT & COLD pipes these days are PEX pipe. (a type of plastic). Of course older homes still have steel or copper pipes and some people still prefer metal pipes on new work. Its not hard to check though.

Regardless, I'd avoid dropping appliances in your tub water. Could be fatal, and not good for the appliance either.

You can use your smartphone in the tub safely though, just as long as its not connected to a charger. But thats a good way to ruin your phone.

And a word of caution. The old landline (wired) phones could give a nasty shock. I know that cuz I know someone who used to talk on the phone in the tub, and got zapped.

You should go jump off a bridge then, because 100% of your posts are devoid of anything humans would call intelligent.

This is a perfect example of that fact.

Listen carefully to the sounds made by the lab equipment. They are easier to hear around 19:00. Ignore the corny dialogue and the canned laughs. Does his lab sound very much to you like the sound effects used for a different TV series a few years later?

A Gen Z young lady had her phone charger plugged in across the room and a long USB extension so she could talk for hours while in the bath.

But the counterfeit charger had leakage from the line to the 5v output and it killed her.

Do you even know what the longest USB cable generally available is?

You are full of s*it.

The one in the news three years ago year was a dodgy mains extension across the room.

The maximum length for a fully standards-compliant USB 2.0 cable is 5m. I have a few 5m long cables. They are readily available.

And the number of folks electrocuted by ANY length USB cable?

ZERO!!!

And the point to that would be? There are certainly plenty of USB cables available that are 15ft and longer. Certainly plenty long to easily reach across a bathroom or from another room to a bathtub.

IDK why, it's certainly possible, especially with cheap Chinese stuff. But we do know for sure that you're wrong, always wrong.

Then why did you drag the length of the cable into question?

And there are reports of people being shocked or killed via USB:

IOW, putz, you are an idiot.

And you were not included in the discussion and stupid s*it like that is just one reason why.

Come back barking about Usenet and how you can post if you want, and you will have succeeded in missing the point.

But then, you are a retarded little bitch punk f*ck putz anyway.

Even in Russia the politicians don't appear out of thin air. Every single one of them has been elected. Apparently their folks enjoy that.

The whole world buys from China.

Well, there are a couple of folks at least whom we are unable to ask if fair elections are a reality in Russia. Putin had them killed. Oh and Putin was the one that said he wanted the old ways back, so free and fair elections and free economy and some other things are have likely not ever been realized by the entire nation. Probably a more classed society now than it ever was. Are there still street sweepers walking the streets with brooms and trash cans?
