A power line is down in my yard.
Police and fire are on the scene. We are staying inside (obviously) but this is freaking scary!

Quick grab a bucket and collect the free electricity that’s just pouring into the ground :)
the pixies are ANGY

Don't go near it, there's something called a voltage funnel, meaning the voltage in the ground is fading out from the touching point of the wire, your body receives therefore voltage from foot to foot when walking near it, which can be high enough to kill or just grill (wors...
Some also call describe it as a step potential, as in, there is a difference in voltage between each foot and the electricity takes the path through your body.
Also don't look at the sparks. Unless you like welders burn on your eyes. From what I hear, that shit really hurts. Basically a sunburn for your eyes.
>they'll try to switch back on up to five times (normally they trip by a branch or bird or something that shorts them and usually there's enough power to vaporise TIL. This might explain why sometimes I get the very short power outages.
Free energy
You should hose it down before the fire gets out of control
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
have a little bite, as a treat of course
I might be wrong, but I don't think it's supposed to do that
I have the urge to jump my BMX over it and I don't think that was the lesson I was supposed to learn.
I’m gonna assume you’ve already called someone about this but please don’t use anything that’s plugged in until this is fixed. It’s not likely that you’d get hurt but the potential consequences are dire. Be safe friend
If it's down, just pick it back up. What could go wrong? ☺️
Piss on it to assert dominance

Spray the hose on it
The forbidden jump rope just spawned in your yard ngl. call the power company and tell them your grass is currently highly energized.
*is getting down in your yard with his bad self.
What's this? Extremely high voltage? Well, I don't need safety gloves because I'm Homer Simp- ⚡⚡⚡⚡
Crank up the house music and charge $10 at the door
Call power company / fire dept if there is a risk of fire or to public
How's that metal fence doing ya?
Break out the marshmallows!
You should go close and talk to the light. It's the right thing to do.
break out the smores
Free electricity
Well... at least you still have light
We had an inspirational speaker visit my high-school way back in the day. He got into a bad accident by taking out an electrical pole and his mangled car ended up in the bottom of the hill. He managed to crawl out of the wreck and back up to the road for help. What he didn't ...
Get a ladder and reattach it
Wet your hands before you pick it up to move to the neighbors yard
It really is pretty though…
You should prolly put it back up idk tho
Not that bad if police and fire are on their way. Not much risk outside of the immediate vicinity. Transformers shorting out are far scarier IMO.
Seems to be pretty up
Go pee on it.
My neighbor's dog got electrocuted indirectly by a downed wire. The wire was touching the aluminum gutters on their garage, and the dog made contact with the downspout.
Time for s’mores
This is how Squirm started
Got yourself some "spicy dirt."
You sure it's not two squirrels welding up that fence. Your dog keeps getting out and bullying the street rats.

Im no expert, but I dont think it's supposed to look like that.
True power!
Kaboom?
They’re going to bill you for that power you just used.
Japanese people would step on it
Quick, take a video and post it on Reddit
What else they gonna do? Pick it up?
