HIGH VOLTAGE CAUTION Is Why Squirrels And Birds Can Comfortably Sit On Electrical Lines While A Misplaced
HIGH VOLTAGE CAUTION is why squirrels and birds can comfortably sit on electrical lines while a misplaced balloon or fallen tree limb burst into flames and send arcs of electricity into the air. high ampage signs aren't common and here's why:
amperes are the unit of electrical current. they express an amount, while voltage is the difference between two electrical currents
familiar with the subway/metro system? they have electrified rails that have many amps of current running through them, but it does not harm you if your body is only touching the electrified rail. much like the train system, electricity does not like to be smushed together and would like to equalize
so if you have one foot on the ground and the other on the rail, the crowded electricity in the rail will want to move to the less crowded ground... via your body, which will kill you. if you don't give the electricity a path to equalize, then it won't hurt you
next time you see the little birds on the electrical line, remember those birds have a lot of amps pumping around them :)

"toph never listens" ok then why did she dodge so much while curbstomping korra hm?? who else but aang could she have possibly learned the Nope No Touchy style from? it's very airbender coded and likely comes from when she was chief of police since her normal fighting style causes a lot of collateral damage
NOT SUEZ NOT SUEZ THERE ARE PROBABLE CASUALTIES (AND the water is cold enough to cause hypothermia)

popping out of my burrow like a meerkat: Suez? Ever given?

to all those who do not know me- apologies, i am merely booping as much as possible :)
many earthbenders can metalbend by tlok because Toph knew, no matter how many people she taught, she'd always be the best
we'll be here posts or not. no person should be in the situation you're in, and you deserve support from the people around you. sending well wishes from many kilos away <3
Sorry for the silence, I love this platform but I physically have no power to post or anything. My girlfriend is homeless and we need housing asap because in a few months our contract with the college dorm room (that we currently live in full-time) will expire. I have very bad autistic burnout that constantly makes me want to off myself from years of stress (my gf's hernia, domestic abuse, etc). and everything. I made a tip-jar via ko-fi and linked a document that explains our situation.
I hope we can find some peace soon and I can be back to drawing/posting! Iβm trying to work as much as I can and hopefully open my shop soon. Thanks for your support and following me despite me not posting much
