The dommy has a Commando tls on it which is better than their disk brakes imo - will try and get it running soon ( I say it every year )

Once is enough.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

So do I, but it might be of a different strength or duration. I'm only familiar with the 230V from the grid (not fun), static shocks of varying intensity (a bit fun?) and electric fences (would touch for a bet but not for entertainment).

read the article again - all experienced the shock already before the axperiment!
|
|
|

So I thought as well - I mean it couldn't be that bad. I actually wondered about that aspect of curiosity so much I actually read the article, and - lo and behold! - it goes on to state

ZAP. Ooh yes. ZAP ZAP. Oh oh oh yes! ZAP ZAP ZAP. Oooohh daddy likes...
Etc. just to mess with their heads.

I can't believe no one said this yet, but...
Those are some shocking results!
It's an OO world.

It's a well-known fact that the vast majority of people can't stand being alone, and need to be in some kind of communication with other people at all times -- hence the overwhelming popularity of mobile phones and social media, and even fora like this one (although I think people come here when they don't want to work, rather than to not be alone).
People generally are a pack of bluddy idiots who don't have enough ideas in their heads to keep them busy for five minutes.

Indeed. I don't own a cell phone, I don't have a twitter or facebook account, and I actually prefer being left the f*ck alone for extended periods of time.

Now the real question is:
What would it look like if more than one person was in the room, and pushing the button would shock at least one of them.
Now is it going to be boredom to drive those people to push the button?!
... probably not!
|
|
|
|
|
That seems like a fun experiment

They should have one of those epic trailer soundtracks playing too.
Dundundundun... Two buttons... Dundundundun... Two people... Dundundundun... Will they do the unthinkable?... DUNDUNDUNDUNDUN... Will they survive!? DUUUUUUUUN...
And all the while these people will be staring at each other, sweating like pigs, keeping one eye on the other's button, hands above their own...
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()

LOL.
And that's the thing with psychology experiments anything goes... you tell them the button zaps the other person, but it zaps themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
Better yet, keep it to one person in the room, but tell them it would shock the observers

I did not read the article. But I'm pretty sure that button was red. Interesting buttons usually are. And now, I ask, who in this whole wide world (www) would NOT press a red button????
(Especially if it has some text like: "don't press the button" or "launch" on it).
I'm done here. I'm going to find buttons to press. And I hope I did not push somebody's buttons here.
I won’t not use no double negatives.

A combination of simple cost benefit analysis and curiosity. Clearly, the shock wouldn't be strong enough to kill you, so why not?
|
|
|
|
|
i will press it, just for curiousing, but not 190 times
In code we trust !
|
|
|
|

Maybe you would if they told you the one pressing it most would win?

Maybe the first button press send him into an muscle spasm leading to the subsequent presses. He just couldn't get the finger away from the damn button earlier.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.
