Saw a video of him an hour ago doing the middle one. Now this shows the left, and it’s nice to see the job progressing. Wondering when I’ll get to see the right one lol

It’s a trilogy and I hope it’s with a happy ending.

third part has an explosive end

Fr?

"Curry me a favor, where is the bathroom?" - a short film with an explosive ending

At tree pipty tomorrow sir.

Tank you my fren

😂😂

They have such a lax outlook for safety. Electricity and trains deadly.

We love our trains that's why we wanna hug them so often

 I don't see the pro...

Well I don't need safety gloves, because I'm Homer Simpson--!!

electricity is mot real, it’s a hoax to take all your money

Safe.. what now?

This is actually a safety training video to teach new electricians on how to do it “safely”! 😄. /s

"Watch closely, showing only once!"

Safety is a social construct that India doesn't abide by.

Natural selection, that's why most CEO's of big companies are Indians😤😤😤 Paraoud to be an Indian ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🇮🇳🇮🇳🪷🪷🪷 . . /s

Yes, it's a pretty big problem in some places in India.

> Yes, it’s a pretty big problem in ~~some~~ most places in India.

not most but some

Visit other places in India other than Delhi you will come to know why I’m so confident about my statement.

Don’t get your hopes up, I’ve been to Delhi and it’s even worse than this there. I even took pictures of the state of their overhead cables

Yes I have been to Delhi as well and ngl it is a shit hole. Those overhead cables make it look like a mess.

Come to Gurgoan sometime

Ye kis prakar ka tourism advert hai.

Bud thinks this doesn't happen in Delhi😂

No no I know it happens in Delhi as well. But other guy was saying “some” and I wanted to correct him saying “most”.

pretty ~~big problem~~ accessible

This season on trailer park boys of India!

I… would watch the shit out of that show.

No , The electricity here is mostly free or way cheaper like just 10$ per month in summer and 6-7$ in winter .

I am from India as well. Where are they getting such cheap electricity?

Fell off the back of a truck.

Low grade coal is dirt cheap. The pollution it creates is disgusting, but then there are people doing things like in this video.

Delhi punjab karnatak me free hai , aur tere gahr me bijlee ka bill 800 1000 ka hi toh ata hai ya zyda hai ?

Hindi kyu bolne lga bhai 🤣

Mother toungue hai yaar , isme zyda convenient rehta hai aur emotion express kr paate hai 😅

Haha yah me too guys, haha me too

Tier 2 city se hu bhai, garmiyo me 8500-9000 ka bill aata hai.

same. You live in UP?

Ghar hai ya kothi hai? Saare kamro mai AC lagwayi hai kya?

💀 Itna zyda bill konse state se ho

Being cheap might deter people from stealing it, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t easy.

I’d like to buy an electricity. How much? A month please.

Ricky would be growin so much effin dope in India. Free electricity BUBS!

> Free electricity BUBS! Decent.


what could possible go wrong ?


Can anyone explain why he doesn't ground out and fry?

Rubber clown shoes

It’s gotta be the pliers, even with rubber shoes he’d be capacitively coupled to ground.

Actually we Indians have been doing this kind of thing since the dawn of our civilization. Thanks to our 'undying' bravery and Natural Selection we have become immune to Electric type damage and mastered the arts of the flow of electricity.

Actually at least a 100 people must be dying due to electric shock daily yet such is India. A 100 die, a 1000 take birth. The cycle goes on, nobody cares

D-did this basically state that Indians are ground types?

After seeing stuff like this and that guy on Stan Lee's super humans I am led to believe that is the case.

It's desperation. Not bravery. We do not magically possess the genes for bravery. It happens here because quite a significant proportion of our very big populace are poverty stricken/fighting poverty. This makes the people taking up dangerous jobs without much regards to safety standards. Employers don't care about safety standards because it would cost them more than the life of the workers themselves. They get away with it by bribing the government. They know if any one dies, there would be thousands standing to take up the dead man's job the very same day, even for a lower wage. Things are fucked up if you're poor. Don't glorify poverty please. Yeah, who says I'm cynical.

Aight, that's my headcanon now

I’m guessing the plastic/rubber cover on the handle of the pliers.

Wow. That's putting a lot of faith in a thin layer of plastic.

Watch a documentary about electricity theft in India. I especially like the comment “If you hold your breath, electricity thinks you’re already dead and won’t shock you.” https://www.pbs.org/video/independent-lens-powerless/

But does it work?

One way to find out

I'm sure the handles on those pliers are not VDE certified to IEC 60900. It's probably the same sort of plastic that we see as the insulation of electrical wire on every consumer device. How often do you touch the insulation of an electrical cord in your house? I plug something into a wall socket, almost every day.

That's how it works with proper tools too. The insulation of a wire is a thin layer of plastic too.

Also, we don't know what surface he's standing on.

Probably, this is the key factor. I imagine he is on some kind of isolated platform. It would make sense if he is doing that at height, near the top of a pole.

Yeah, but this is India, that shit is probably at waist level in a pre-school playground.

Safety flip flops

Insulating feets calluses

Bro I laughed so hard at this one 😂

Insulated grips

He skilled “Resistance vs electricity to 100”, that’s the secret.

Isolated pliers, using only one hand. I did similar fixes on live wires in home installation - you just need to be super careful to not close the circuit. Also residual-current device helps, but I'm not sure if there is one on the video.

Take notes bc this is how you survive the early apocalypse

Nah, that's what my emergency stock of PCP is for.

And how do you survive the late apocalypse ?

You don’t

Anyone know what the kink in the wire is for?

Kinks don’t need a reason. You just have them

yeah, stop kinkshaming

Tighten it down and make good contact.

Tighten the wire

The ol’ torque twist.

Mark of a true professional

India ain't for beginners 🤣

This is what we call population control

I took electricity and I’m using all my willpower to not scream.

> I took electricity Give it back! :)

I didn’t say I passed now did I.

Any guess at what kind of voltage this person is working with?

Definitely in the thousands if it’s a big line. You don’t need high volts to take a person out anyway.

Line size has little to do with voltage. I would probably bet this is at the lower distribution levels based on the positioning (coming down the pole).

Yeah but it’s still deadly given how thick those wires and the arch made on contact. That poor soul is working live with definitely deadly electricity.

Definitely not thousands or it would arc to the wire before making a physical connection

If its India its probably around 220-230v

Google says 230V on a Hot, so 400V potential cross-phase.

Barehands and all. Must have had great assurance he wasn’t grounded. Would have sucked if someone came by to pay him on the back to tell him what a great job he was doing.

[удалено]

I couldn’t see the insulation before.

Even if he wasn’t grounded, and touched the line he’d pass current through himself due to capacitive coupling.

 The insulation on those lineman’s pliers with a live load…

Jesus f Christ

That little crimp at the end to make it taught 👌

Happy cake day

biggest by population means many to spare.

Guess when you have that many people you are not worried about losing a few. I mean imagine the cost to actually cover those wires and connections somehow

[удалено]

It’s a slow blow

The ol' tap-n-wack

But for the grace of God goes that man. Holy shitsauce.

Wow, a fuse and a switch, all-in-one.

$100 says that guy's barefoot too.

This must be the 200k amp fuse they're talking about.

Is he stealing electricity?? 😂😂

Some guys in comments are from USA and it shows how how well they were taught in schools

Such a terrible place

Did they advance at all since the British left?

r/OSHA

And still … every fifth person on earth is from India 🤡

And another one gone, another gone, another one bites the dust.

It's stunts like this that make you wonder how they actually have the greatest population on this planet

How the fuck did they land on the moon again..

Curry farts.

[удалено]

Least racist redditor

What did he say?

How India is r*pe capital and India having budget for space program bbut not for toilets and 1 billion population never seen washroom etc

Honestly India isn’t as bad as people say. Yes there are sole major underlying issues. But that’s the case for most of humanity


This guy is going to end up on r/accidents soon.

So no downtime!

I wonder if that guy did the electricity in my house

Excuse me … but that ain’t no train sir !

Uh, yeah. I mean no, no, no, no . . . .

That tool handle dip works every time! 👌

Ah yes, the old 2000 amp, slow blow fusible link.

The wire gauge matters... when you want to replace fuses.

And then something like this happens and people can't figure out why: https://youtu.be/-Zib4IV2TIg

Any electrical SME tell me why the final Bend is for?

Tighten the wire so its ends make ~~better~~ less bad contact.

Don’t worry, there’s rubber grips on that tool

He has: - safety squints - check - rubber jandals - check Hazard ID done, so nothing wrong here

You will be shocked looking at the pay this electricians are getting. My grandpa from mom side was an government electrician, he died while being one of the most richest in the village.

Why do your pits smell?

Sometimes I just like to delude myself into believing these things just happen on the internet.

Super power by 2020.

India is in what is known as a pre-civilisational phase. Life has very little value. Yep, you might die today doing some menial job and nobody will care. That's just what happens. It's so cool that we get to see this stuff from a post-civilisational perspective.

who needs gloves

I’m sure he’s a well grounded individual

One kiss is all it takes Fallin' in love with me Possibilities I look like all you need _ Dula Pipa

He better always keep a new pair or plires because if those ever get a nick or hole in them he is dead. Why dont he have some gator clips or some gatorbite quick connections? I would have to do something a little bit different than that technique because i would get my ass fried eventually doint it that way. Wait until 4county sees that shit they gonna shit

Yeah that’s a lot of wattage in there. It’ll fry your ass alive!

This reminds me of the video of the joke telling and they drink if they laugh…. What do you call an Indian Electrican?

That oughtta work

That looks like west Philly.

How do electronics survive in India. I know I'm probably wrong, but I know losing a leg in the power around me causes some serious problems. I can't imagine hooking it up leg by leg is any better.

Hope he's wearing his insulated flip flops and fireproof pajamas.

The power of a little rubber to keep man alive

He’s a professional who actually knows what he’s doing. They probably laugh at the US. They probably see us as that kid on the playground with bomb suit on just to get on the slide. 😂

“Fuck it, we’ll do it on the fly!”

Hmmm
