I came up with this question right after I wanted to take apart a microwave to see why it wasn’t heating anything before I remembered that that’s a very, VERY bad idea

    I too was going to say microwave before reading the post body. Honestly though anything with a large capacitor, I can’t give you examples unfortunately because I study physics not electrical engineering but some of those fat fucking capacitors will fry you and they hold their charge.

    • Laser / LED printers can blind you and may have larger capacitors.
    • Old CRT style TVs / Monitors can get you if not discharged correctly.

    DO NOT backfeed your house’s electricity with a generator when your electricity gets shut down. You might electrocute someone working on those lines.
