Don’t you know that women can’t be electricians? It messes with the ovaries.
(Very big /S just in case someone isn’t paying attention)
I would love for everyone to stop wanting to be influencers.
Said the fucking influencer wannabe
I'm going to influence the next election and no one will stop me
Can women please stop trying to be OnlyFans models we need mothers and emotional support I'm begging you
Also +1 for those who pointed out how weirdly gendered this post was
false dilemma, you can be an electrician influencer.
that's like all I get on tiktok now is people showing off their finishing touches.
Or on youtime with our one and true eyebrow: ELECTROBOOM
Imagine having your home's electics done by Electroboom. I think I'd rather try my luck by doing the electronics myself.
Solution: promise a nice tool if nothing breaks. I am sure then he is very careful
But what are you doing as an electrician influencer? Influence the meaty-chlorians to charge your devices?
here is a video about electrobooms holidays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFrMcYX6IV4
i think it is funny
Oh nice, ragebait. That surely brings back the authentic Reddit feeling.

And my axe! I also choose this guy's dead wife!
This! Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
I know it's a joke but these comments gave me a visceral reaction
That's so misandristric.
Right? Lots of women work in trades. I actually thought pointlessly gendered had come to Lemmy!
Being an influencer today, is the modern day equivalent to going to Hollywood wanting to be a star in the 80s
Mechanics get no bitches tho, influencers are swimming in orbiter pussy.
Let's have no influencers, FTFY
Go learn a trade then. Be the change.
Exactly. Ain't no rule stating ladies can't pick up a wrench.
Anti-feminist take.
As a man who mildy electrocuted himself working on his own house yesterday I must say I'd rather be an influencer.
I'm going to be annoying and tell you that you were mildly shocked, not electrocuted. "Electrocute" specifically refers to lethal exposure to electricity, as a portmanteau of "electric" and "execute".
Though I think the word is starting to go the way of "literally".
If electrocution is lethal, mild electrocution would be sub-lethal and just make you with you were dead, yes?
Am an electrician, we say electrocuted, shocked, or zapped depending on severity. I can tell you none of my coworkers who have been electrocuted died. Why be pendantic, when its rarely used in that sense.
Also a lethal amount of voltage can be damn near any voltage, dc, or ac. So still technically correct. Being hit by 240, or 120, can most certainly kill you. It just rarely does so unless something goes very wrong.
Also incorrect. It's to be injured or killed by electric shock.
Electrician reporting in
But are you also a mechanic? Cuz we need both.
I feel influenced.
Electrician here.
Be the change you want to see.
Doesn't pay enough and the hours are insane
Even when they enter the trades, some of them are still dreaming of becoming influencers. We had a builder at our house who popped up when I was scrolling through TIk Tok. We were talking one day about how he was going off on his own as a builder and all of a sudden we were talking about what was clearly his real dream of becoming some kind of car influencer.
Of course I know that. And I did die. Just mildly. WooooooOOOOOOOooooooo!
