We'd have a u in favourite.

I'm amazed this is law. It's like Josef Fritzl charging rent for his cellar.

Based on what? Your experience of never leaving your state?

On top of this, there's lots of ways that they would get the data without secretly listening to microphones, which people may not be aware of in all these anecdotes. In the one above, maybe just one party member googled lab grown diamonds, or perhaps messaged a friend on Facebook messenger about their trick. Not sure if that gets analysed for ads but it's more plausible than mics. Anyway if they're all on the same WiFi then they'll probably be on the same IP and could easily be shown the same ads, making all party members now ripe for a diamond ad.

There's a well known video of a guy saying "cat food" around his phone, and then his phone shows Google ads for cat food. He concluded that it was secretly listening to him, because there was no other way for Google to get that info other than to shadily tap into his mic. He performs this experiment on a live streamed YouTube video

I spy 2112 in there 🤘🏻

Also his cat example was an attempt to disprove the Copenhagen interpretation, because he disagreed with it. The cat in the box was the most ridiculous thing he could think of to show how stupid it is.

I don't believe in COVID, but I got the vaccine for the infertility because it was easier than a vasectomy. And now my wife is pregnant 😡😡😡

No shadows go slower because they aren't as light

No I'm from UK so it's AC. Yeah if you had neutral on the other end of the swamp you'd be getting closer but still doubt you'd get to electrocution levels. That's how the electric barrier in the great lakes works that the guy was on about. But that's a short distance, with the water surrounded by rock, and it only gets about 2 volts. For a swamp I would expect too much current to be leaking into the earth and nowhere near enough current to be flowing through the people. Judging by the downvotes I guess I'm wrong and the Iraqi army have some insanely powerful swamp electrifying device that's completely undocumented and was only used once and has never been repeated since.

Anyway I'm out of this argument, don't drag me back in!

Oh I don't put it past Iraq, I'm sure they'd have been up for it. I'm just reluctant to accept the physics

Does it count as electrocution if you drown from a shock? Maybe I guess. Looked up the great lakes thing but I'm still not buying it. Never mind, thanks for the internet argument!

I've looked it up and all I can find are examples of people drowning because they were near the power source and their muscles spasmed. A far cry from dropping a cable from a generator and instantly zapping hundreds of people. Any other examples?
