Can you give us a pic from the other sides? Maybe that helps...

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I can not. I snapped the picture a month or so ago in passing.

This isn't the same thing, but it certainly looks like it might gave the same function

Interesting. Testing for cystic fibrosis via sweat... it literally is a perspiration exuder 😅

I think you found the answer.

What is this thing?

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

No clue. I found it at EPO in Houston. That place is an electronics goldmine if you go in only hoping to find old and obscure. Its amazing.

What in the hell? Been trying to search for what this could be, but I can't find any definitive information!

My initial guess, it has something to do with off-gassing in lead-acid batteries? Or maybe something to do with electrolysis?

If you happened to snap a pic of the backside connections, I'd be curious to see 'em.

My initial thought is something that zap people to induce sweating. I'd be glad to be wrong tho.

Instructions unclear, dick caught in banana plug

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Positive or negative?

[–] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It was a positive experience for me

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

If you want to be more grounded, try the black one next time.

[–] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Check one of the other comments, turns out you were probably right. I didn't take the label literally enough!

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Holy fuck

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Sorry, I only grabbed the one.
