Lichtenberg figures are a branching electric discharge that sometimes appears on the surface of insulating materials. They can also be produced on wood with particularly pleasing aesthetic results.

@Rainmaker1973 So Community Notes went all Nanny State on us. Whatever, looks awesome.

@HarikMCO @Rainmaker1973 Parkour, base jumping, crazy skiing, bicycles through the woods, high speed chases, etc etc. Half the videos on X are people doing crazy dangerous stuff and sometimes paying the price. If the standard is safety, yell at X / Elon for allowing unsafe content.

@GnarlyRedDwarf @Rainmaker1973 Extreme sports are *obviously* dangerous to anyone watching. Promoting something as a fun DIY project at home when you're literally making an electric chair to kill yourself with isn't.

@HarikMCO @GnarlyRedDwarf @Rainmaker1973 Why does anything have to prove anything? Community notes are for misinformation, not safety warnings

@pauldacity @GnarlyRedDwarf @Rainmaker1973 I would suggest that "here's this fun DIY project!" without mentioning the 70% fatality rate if anything at all goes wrong qualifies as misinformation.
