      It’s a safety character named Reddy Kilowatt that started out with a little power company in Alabama and became a global thing for a while.

      And he needs to settle the fuck down.

    I’ve seen this image a number of times, and it always reinforces just how dangerous electricity can be. It’s like those signs that warn “Not only will this kill you, it will hurt the whole time!”

    I do a lot of DIY, but I do not mess with electricity. The idea of Alternating current is something I cannot grok, and so I choose not to try.

    There was this kids show made in Britain, kind of adjacent to Thomas And Friends, called Tugs. It was about tugboats rather than steam locomotives. One episode ends with a really intense PSA about fire safety:

    “Always respect fire. If you don’t, it will destroy you, your surroundings and your friends.”
