there is someone who looked at this and is also naive

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You all are going to kill someone.

Remember, this only works with FiberOptic cables.

That's mean! LOL.

Know what, I'll upvote this. If someone is stupid enough to believe in this, they deserve the shocking news when doing it.

Thats not kinked enough, electrons can still flow. Sometimes you have to fold it back and forth a few times to really kink it
whiskeytree
If you're trying to kill someone, this just might work.
FestusBeBop
Suck it, electrons!
realwomenfightnaked
I showed this to my electrician husband and he chuckled and rolled over
LuSiDity
Well I'll be. I musta done it wrong cause my buddys laying down and looking at me all cross-ways like he wants these hands. He don't

How does one not know where the breaker panel is? This should be something ever house owner needs to know!
IfIwereyouIwouldnotbeme
As a guy that's about to install three light fixtures and a fan, and was an electrician on aircraft for 14 years, that's fucking funny.
ThisIsWhyIimgur
EXTREMELY TECHNICALLY if you kink it enough that you break the continuity of the atoms electricity would stop flowing...but no
hedddie
I usually think dumb advice for stupid people is funny but apparently that changes when the outcome is deadly.

Thanks for tip! And just in time... I'll be right back!

I joked with a new kid once that he could cut the wire and taste both ends to troubleshoot circuits. I'm no longer allowed to mentor

As an electrician I can vouch for this method of trouble shooting
Whovian3000
Hey that only stops the current not the voltage
stupidusernamething
It's the current that kills.
Gotbread
It's the energy that kills.
Corona688
Neither, really.
TiredOfMyUsernameBeingMyActualNameSoIChangedIt
Oh gosh, don't try this please
HatsAreEssential
The funny thing is, a few good bends can do this to low voltage data cables. The wire is so tiny it'll break.
ChrisTallant
Shh..
wasuremaru
What will actually happen?
CopperCoffeeCup
Nothing. Only breaking the wire (which is still not safe) or turning off the electric source will stop the flow of electricity.
BrutusEt2
Electrons can't make the sharp turns
rezpawner
Pretty sure you're not supposed to bend them that hard. Something to do with them catching fire.
Shoe1ess
That is the principle concept of inductors
IalwaysupvoteKorra
electric current creates a magnetic field, regardless of the shape of the wire. in fact, straight wires are used to define the ampere.

Shoe1ess
Haha, I meant the resistance to current. Not explicitly the magnetic properties
Gotbread
But still the inductance (ratio of flux to current) changes with shape
IalwaysupvoteKorra
Sure. My point was that this doesnt have anything to do with electrons making turns. This is shown by straight wires creating a mag. field.
lostinukraine
You just killed someone you know that right?
Gotbread
If people fall for this they will not last long anyway
