Lmfao Audiovisual Auto-alert.
I seriously had a .22lr round in place of a fuse at my old house. It was a powderless reload but still a ridiculous fire hazard and I refused to replace it with an actual fuse until we got the fuse box replaced with breakers.
I thought the electrician would shit a brick but he just gave me a deadpan “do you know you’re using a bullet as a fuse?”
Big letdown.
I’m pretty sure there was an honorary darwin award given to a man who used a live .22 round to put in place as a fuse in his car. The angle was apparently just right to have the bullet hit both balls.
True or not that would still make a hilarious “Fact or Fiction?” segment lol.
Wouldn’t be possible unless the fusebox had a barrel.
Smells like bullshit. Cooked off rounds don’t really shoot.
That electrician has seen some shit.
Well, the rating says 350A and I seriously doubt you woul’ve had an industrial grade furnace in your old house.
You should see my vibrator.
Wow, that comment with that name certainly paints a picture. Lol fuck.
That’s not a .22lr round in the OP.
I’m not the only one that’s done it either, image searching .22lr fuse comes up with a lot of examples.
I’m absorbing this info because it will probably be beneficial in a future adventure game as a puzzle solution.
Can’t remember if its was 22 short or long but mythbusters did an episode on dieing to using 22 as a stand in for a glass fuse. Completely plauseable
A .22lr fits in some 3AG fuse holders. They do produce an audible alert when they blow. I’m not sure what the current rating is though.
I’m guessing it’s well above 3 amps.
3AG is just the physical size of the fuse, they usually go up to 20 amps from memory.
Does 16amp including the cheese or not? Can I still eat the cheese after the “fuse” blown?
Can the cheese be eaten first and use just the wrapping? Asking for a friend.
Not even kidding, I was looking everywhere to find this exact image today… Have you been listening to my conversations?
Lol for real though, thanks for posting! Saved me from feeling too bad about my subpar searching skills.
Lol, glad I could help 😂.
Is it 16 amps for the entire wedge of cheese or just the wrapper?
Entire wedge. The cheese is for structural support.
Considering the ring tab, this image is at least 40 years old.
I can’t tell what the 250 amp one is. Just random metal?
Crinkled/rolled metal foil, probably.
Oh, look at the bougie person using different items for different ratings…
Just jam a penny in there and you’ll always be good.
That’s for screw in fuses.
That’s exactly what my dad said… may he rest in piece…
It’s a global conspiracy, ever notice how most of the people smart enough to just use pennies just coincidentally die in house fires?
The fuse lobby is out to get us brother!
You could say it just doesn’t make cents.
Yeah, that’s what my dad said as well!
After he died?
Of course not, this was during the fire.
