    Note to self: It’s 2023. Men still have a big fear of being labeled gay.

      Worse: football organisations in The Netherlands of all places are refusing to wear anything that implies sympathy to LGBTQ+ matters. Being a footballer and called gay is still a popular insult. A comedian had to start selling team captain bands, replacing the organisation’s One Love one with a new Wat Laf version (it means “How cowardly”). At least the Wat Laf is aimed at the national football organisation.

      For some reason on the other hand, the women’s football side has no problem with that, with several overt lesbians playing in the national leagues.

      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

        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

            Tripping the breaker usually doesn’t trip the switch, so that wouldn’t actually change anything. Not that I recommend trying.

            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.

    If the pool is 98% pure water they’re probably fine unless it has piss in it

      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.
