I cannot fathom why this is the title.
It’s a reference to a vine. “Two bros chilling in a hot tub, five feet apart cuz they’re not gay.”
Ah yes Vine, definitely a relevant thing in 2023 that everyone references. Thanks for reminding me that Vine existed, I had actually forgotten.
Some Vines are so deeply embedded in my memory that I’m sure I’ll still be able to quote them even after the dementia has destroyed my ability to recognize my loved ones.
In hospice, surrounded by grieving loved ones saying their last goodbyes, the nurse watching on as I’m drifting away confused and irritable, doing their best to ensure my passing is as comfortable as possible, with my last breath I’ll mutter “road work ahead? Yeah I sure hope it does”…
I can recall like 100+ Vines from a single frame… I have no idea what the other person is talking about.
You guys sent me down a rabbit hole again! Ahhhh!
It’s Wednesday my dudes.

Meanwhile most of the world never went on Vine, and its been gone for 6 years now.
Titling a post with basically “no homo” makes the majority of people go “huh why are they being casually homophobic” not “oh wow they are in a pool, so that’s like that one Vine from 6+ years ago!”.
But by all means join the lineup of people spamming vine quotes at me as if I knew or cared what they mean lol.
If you’re complaining someone made a reference you didn’t understand it’s time to take a break from the Internet
Or go deeper until you understand them all
I was never at any point complaining, but sure you guys dogpile on me for not understanding your trash from the 2010s, sorry for not having an encyclopedic knowledge of every meme from the last decade lmao.
Y’all mofuckas need a better hobby than ganging on someone for not knowing some random reference.
Man I hope you stretched before those mental gymnastics, wouldn’t want you to pull your victim complex muscle.
I think this is more of a ‘why do you care so much about this’ situation for the rest of us.
You can choose to ignore things you don’t understand on Lemmy. I don’t go into the Risa posts because I know they’re not for me. If something doesn’t make sense and you want to ask about it, go for it, but don’t get upset when the explanation isn’t one that makes sense to you. For a lot of people, popular Vines were everywhere for a while. Not everything on the internet is for you.
So you literally stalked my account to attack me, classy stuff.
I’m gonna second the “get off the internet and go outside” suggestion
I was never on Vine, and I know what these things are because I’ve been on the Internet for the last few years. No offense, but this is an Internet place too.
Don’t hate; appreciate the deep magic.
No idea wtf you are talking about.
Aside from this, you out the loop a lot?
A 6+ year old meme from a website frequented by teenagers, which has been closed for 6 years?
You have a strange idea of what “the loop” is.
You have a strange idea of what “the loop” is.
Not that you would know
You have a strange idea of what “the loop” is.
And you have no idea, keep up.
Just say “all the time” if your memory is that bad mate.
This one is from Chronicles of Narnia
Hi, welcome to Chilis
I had to grab some marshmallows for that roasting you got in those comments.
Wow you have a sad life if you care.
I don’t. It’s just kind of funny watching the whole thing.
This is a good example of why woman live longer.
Just looking at this gives me anxiety 😟
I had to look away. Immediately minimized the image. I can’t handle that shit before 6 am.
even women do
Hahaha. Good catch. I will leave it to prove my stupidity.
The drunk male problem solving.
Note to self: It’s 2023. Men still have a big fear of being labeled gay.
As a gay man, they really really do.
But we’re not gay
My sister is a lesbian and she has a fear of being perceived as gay. She said that she’s so straight that she became a lesbian.
Leviticus doesn’t specify a gender of the audience, so the only acceptable sex is for all straight men to become uwu lesbians.
As long as none of them ground themselves they’re fine. Not that I think these people are smart enough to know one way or the other, but the sandals float was probably to keep it easy to plug things in
wdym? if one touches the live and they’re grounded, they’re fucked aren’t they?
They’re not grounded when they’re standing in the pool, though. If they grabbed a ladder or if someone on the ground tried to hand them something, they’d get a good shock, but they’d trip a breaker before anything deadly happened
Their breakers are probably wired in place because they keep tripping too often.
Tripping the breaker usually doesn’t trip the switch, so that wouldn’t actually change anything. Not that I recommend trying.
Imma need you guys to demonstrate with a toaster.
I don’t know why you’re doubting me, but the only reason why “toaster + bathtub” means death is because your body is in contact with the bathtub, which is grounded. Regardless, you still wouldn’t die unless you had preexisting health conditions like a weak heart on account of the aforementioned breakers
An above ground pool like the one in the picture insulates you with a very thick floor of rubber. Here’s an article about exactly what I’m talking about
How a backyard swimming pool can become an electrical death trap
Excerpt:
“It wouldn’t look or sound any different. You could jump in, swim around and be fine in the water with the electricity but once you become the bridge to ground by touching the ladder or rail you’d die,” said the licensed electrician with 20 years of experience.
That’s shocking
Only if you’re grounded 😉
Regardless, you still wouldn’t die unless you had preexisting health conditions like a weak heart on account of the aforementioned breakers
Are you telling me reruns of mystery shows from the 70s lied to me? COLUMBO LIED TO ME?!
Wait- what about hair dryers?
Wait so you would die, or you wouldn’t die? I’m getting mixed messages.
You are one wrong object touch away from possibly dying
aren’t we all one wrong object touch away from possibly dying anyways?
Oh nobody is more surprised than I am that I’m still alive.
So , it looks like an inflatable pool - no metal structure nor ladder. Perfectly safe
… not that I’d want to test that
the only reason why “toaster + bathtub” means death is because your body is in contact with the bathtub, which is grounded
Someone needs to learn about acrylic and fiberglass tubs🤪
What does grounded actually mean?
If the pool is 98% pure water they’re probably fine unless it has piss in it
Who is out here filling up an entire pool with distilled water
All you need is a gfci circuit somewhere in the line to be safe.
Although as electroboom once elegantly showed, it will still hurt like hell

Let’s say there is an electrical shock . would it hit one of them or all of them ?
One or none. Electricity is hard to predict though. It tries to find the easiest way to complete a circuit, but the easiest way isn’t always easy to predict.
Seeing their pasty skin I think they are already ghosts, so they will be fine.
It’s no homo bro just trust Me
WTF?
This makes me irrationally angry.
Eh so long as they don’t ground out then they’re fine, even if they make a ground connection then the breaker will trip long before enough juice hits that pool to seriously hurt them

Where in the hell are you at that 200 amperage wall outlets are the norm?? In 99% of US homes outlets are 110v 15a which is enough to put you on your ass but certainly won’t kill you without prolong exposure or preexisting health factors
Almost as if places outside of the US exist. Like the EU where the voltage is 230 volts in homes.
Keyword being
voltage
I sure hope you guys arent pushing that with 200 amps, too
A human body wouldn’t conduct that much current with mains voltage. It’s just too high resistance.
Also pretty sure they mean breakers with GFCI as is required in some countries. If they just mean regular circuit breakers then yeah they are fucked.
Although tbf since it has both neutral and live in the strip it would probably short and not even reach the people. As in almost no current would go through them because ground is right next to it. This would in turn cause the breaker to trip without even a GFCI getting involved potentially.
Only if they’re using a gfci breaker. Standard breakers trip at 7A+ which is plenty enough to kill you. In the US, this breaker is on the wall outlet, in the EU, this breaker is on the central panel.
Sort of, with the important note that “grounding themselves” can very well be “getting out of the pool”. It’s theoretically fine as long as someone outside the pool disconnects the power before any of them try to get out, but I wouldn’t rely on it.
Relying on the GFCI wouldn’t be great, use the wrong hand to grab the ladder and you’re still sending a deadly amount of current through your heart. If you only have a breaker, you’ll probably be dead regardless. Where I live breakers will trip at about 16A (32 on sockets intended for high power electronics) which will definitely hurt a lot. Breakers and fuses are usually there to prevent fires, not to prevent electrocution!
Bare in mind the nearest ground is also in the power strip. It probably wouldn’t go anywhere near the people. Since you also now have a short circuit it would probably trip the breaker depending on the conductivity of the water.
