Car batteries are high ampere, low voltage. They wouldn’t feel a thing …
Actually considering all of those screws are connected together by the same (presumably metal) plate, this would just create a short circuit and heat up or even melt those screws and plate.
And the battery
Connect a tazer and to it and periodically give it a squeeze sit back and laugh
I like how none of these comments involve talking to the neighbor and asking them to fix it.
Next step up would be ask the landlord to fix it.
When was the last time you ever asked or insisted your neighbors to fix anything? Especially neighbors with a stripper pole?
You have no idea how many drugs those people might be on or how many visitors/pimps might carry guns…
Tell ya what, the proper way would be to just skip that step and report it to the landlord, after you conveniently didn’t see it and stepped on one or more of those pointy screws.
They’ll have to get that shit fixed real quick, while your downstairs neighbors will not only have to pay for the damages, but also your medical bills, plus also likely face eviction.
Hello I have problem
Have you considered premeditated murder?
When keepin’ it real goes wrong
Give their phone number out to spam callers
Put a cloth iron on top and leave it running.
how are the screws going through the upstairs floor what kind of apartment is that
An American, probably.
Yeah at best you’d start a fire at the roof. Wouldn’t do anything to the pole
Use a Dremel tool to cut the pointy ends flat, then cut a slot in the flattened ends. Now you can simply unscrew the screws with a flat head screwdriver.
Hey, since they already fucked up your floor anyways, what they gonna do, bitch and cuss and then end up having to pay for repairs to the damages?
Inform the landlord, it’s their problem. If that’s their own property then. I don’t know a police report or something and lots of evidence and civil claims court.
Police will 100% say it’s a civil matter.
Speak to the neighbour in the first instance, if that’s no good my home insurance company would be the next people I’d speak to.
Sir, this community is called “lemmyshitposts”
Plot twist: OP installed the thing in their ground floor and didn’t measure correctly; now they at least want to cash in on the internet fame.
Ugh I want to “well, ackshually” this so badly…
You may as well, now.
Maybe if you just connect one side of the life wire to it. And ground the other one. That could work better
Please do. I don’t know what’s wrong with it
Edit: thanks folks! I feel like an idiot because that’s super obvious. :-)
the path of least resistance for the current would be down one connected bolt, then around the top plate, and up the other battery connected bolt, never down the pole, so the ceiling/floor gets heated up, possibly burn
note: those bolts must be supper long to go from ceiling to floor
12v is hardly anything. This is not a joke, go put your hands on both terminals of a car battery. You won’t feel a thing.
still can spin a big truck and/or turn on incandescent bulbs with temperatures in the thousands of degrees
the internal resistance of lead-acid batteries is in the tens of mili-Ω, the circuit of 2 cables, 2 bolts and one plate/top of the pole would be in the low 100s mili-Ω. lets round up to 200mΩ, power = V•I = V^2/R = 12^2/0.2 = 720W, enough to heat up the top assembly of the pole, and smolder some wood
That’s true but only because the voltage is low a car battery can pull ~2X the amps in of main it won’t kill you because it can’t connect but if it ever did
That’s why you connect it directly to main so it doesn’t require a closed loop to create a chemical reaction,.
If you connect one pole of the battery, it does nothing. If you connect both, it just shorts the battery via a path that doesn’t involve the downstairs neighbor.
12V from a car battery doesn’t do much damage. You’d need, I think, 50V or 52V to get through the skin. Now, of course, if someone were to stick it in their mouth or some other area that doesn’t have skin, it’s a different story, then they’d get heavy burn marks on the path the electricity takes. So for safer electrocution, use AC, as that will also activate your muscles and push you away. While with DC, you’ll stick to it, as you grab onto it with a death grip. For advice on hurting yourself safely, just watch electroboom on yt.
Every reply to your comment is correct. Together they explain everything wrong with the idea in that meme. I have no notes. Bravo @[email protected] @[email protected] and @[email protected] .
Same.
Constant drip of wd40 or something down it
Cut out the bottom of a plastic container, glue it to the floor, but around the screws, fill it with cheap oil and go on with your day.
Are those 1m screws or is it just in the Scandics that floors are at least 50cm thick with isolation and sound dampening?
A lot of apartments are just converted houses, or old with minimal such standards except basic structural. So the floor joists would typically be 2x10 (nominal inch). Possibly a neighbor below tried to install the pole and found only drywall ceiling and cut a hole. Instead of boxing between the joists and attaching to that, they just went higher to the next flat wood - the subfloor ply under the flooring - so possibly just 3/4".
Is she hot?
Why do you assume it is a she?
Because statistically most pole dancers are ladies.
