A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

As a non-electrician, I've also felt electricity and can confirm, it is indeed not pleasant.

You only felt what electricity did to you, not what electricity feels, it probably feels like Rogue from Xmen where when it touches someone it hurts them so it will not be able to experience love so its sad and angry

Have you never been charged to thousands of volts? You can feel the static electric charge as it directly affects your body hair

Additionally there is evidence humans can sense magnetic fields, with some populations always knowing where north is, and using cardinal directions in place of forward, backwards, left, right, front, and back

Outsiders who have spent time with those people have learnt to sense their orientation.
