Increase to 220V and it will work for kids.

A Slimy Slug is Invading your Base!

mean but effective
PaperStSoapCompany
Well this is a shocking development. - snail probably
Whiskeyducks
SmurfEggs
I like this way better
maskedrabbit
Come snail away with me
demli212
Now let's try it with 120v AC..
artistandascholar2000
I’m shocked that works so well.
Doomgriever
TheCake1saPie
So are they.
slaw420
who the fuck has that many snails trying to eat their plants
DickVergaman
I just like watching the speedy little snails.

Let them eat your plants you monster

Yeahhhh electricity. And they said it would never catch on.

JoeshLee923
It's a passing fad. It'll fade. You'll see.
Hawkhead
Well you are correct, if it passes for long enough, the volt-drop will increase. Vd = mV/A/m x Ib x L
Quizz25S
Yeah but you need a hollow tungsten sphere to stop the super intelligent ones.
cjustbakerman
The snail always finds a way out

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not.

ayy lmao

getyourp00pinagroup
a friend of mine said it works even without the battery. they just cant get past the copper for some reason
JRMnv
He broke out of a titanium sphere prison at the bottom of the ocean. This will not stop the snail for long; he's been planning for eons.
ProfTreeFrog2000
Yes!!!
DevinCastellucci
Needs more voltage.
MarvLarv
Should work with just the copper. Also, you can set a beer trap, snails are total sloggs.
shaggykx
My mother goes round her vegetables at night with a torch and scissors and snips their heads off
GoddammitMrNoodle
Savage!
EnglishIsNotMyNativeLanguage
Your mother tells this to everyone.
Marvellous86
Sounds like your mother has issues
omarodoch
Wherestheexitpls
Hah! Brutal! But tbh if there were snails like that here, i'd be guarding my veggies with torches too. Dunno about the scissors tho..
Knave333
Doesn't she burn the plants?
BrewmasterDan
Torch as in flashlight i'm assuming.... The decapitation is probably enough
The701
And then puts the heads on toothpicks as pikes and puts them around the garden as a warning to others.
GoddammitMrNoodle
Even more savage!
haadyy
Wouldn't double sided tape with the outer layer covered in fine salt work just fine?
danteTheVirtualAdept
I guess it would kill them whereas this solution doesn't. I guess.
frogglesmash
The snail needs to do more than just briefly touch the salt to be killed by it
ScoundrelPDX
Until water (rain, sprinklers, etc) washed away the salt....
frogglesmash
I mean, this only works till the battery dies.
JoeDanger
How long does the battery last?

ProfTreeFrog2000
Inclement? But now I think I like inclimate better.
GuW69
It depends on how many attempts the snails make, because it is only then the circuit is closed, but probably all summer
MT26sol
Couldn’t they slime up the battery and across the red wire?
Rifneno
Snails are not known for their engineering prowess.
The701
Yet.
LuIu
It's a snail.
ErikaLarve
what if it rains?
LightningFIshLivesInTheDeep
The battery shorts out and catches on fire, probably.
GUVMENTCHEEZE63
Why would you leave your plants outside in the rain to begin with
ErikaLarve
so the plants can live?
GUVMENTCHEEZE63
MT26sol
I was wondering how that worked from the thumbnail as you don’t see the bottom thumbnail. You should test it without the battery but with
MT26sol
Copper tape and aluminium (U.K.) tape without the battery to see how effective that is.
[deleted]
[deleted]
ParryLost
Put the snails onto a tiny treadmill and have them generate the current to shock themselves!
The701
Oh....maybe they meant use copper and aluminum and see if it generates electricity through a galvanic reaction? @MT26sol
worstnurse
I need that. F those things. We have rat lung work out here. Look it up
slidewhistlesymphony
Pretty cool, until they learn to disconnect the battery.
parismaker
rofled a lot :)
Dude229
Double the thickness of the bands and mount the battery contacts to the top instead. Problem solved.
goflyblind
"clever gastropod."
getyourp00pinagroup
friend of mine doesnt even use a battery. just copper tape and she says it works on its own
NetEng
God damnit Gary!
Denamic
And now you've given them a basic understanding of electricity. Humanity's days are numbered.
LeSethX
Only that one immortal snail knows how to do that
Drucifer1988
good thing it's still stuck in that tungsten sphere
MasterDark001
ruferto
have you ever tried to unplug one of those fuckers? they're sealed in there by zeus' chum
fatass1337
That was the peaceful solution, I don’t think they want us to use the salt lines
PorneliusHubertII
Or derive pleasure from small shocks.
dmcaribou91
Tired of snails eating your tomatoes? Electrocute them slightly!
PineconesAndGravy
It’s “harmless”!
SavagePatchKids
Slight electrocution can solve most of life's problems.
chaosbunny0902
I thought that’s why people got tased?
xrosstalk
That is technically electric shock, if tasers electrocuted people they would be lethal weapons! :P
Tomcat1982
Shock. The word you’re looking for is shock. Electrocution means the victim was killed. Shock means they survived.
jerrysmatrix
+1 because semantics are important
jerrysmatrix
And underappreciated
SamArt53
WRONG: /əˌlektrəˈkyo͞oSH(ə)n/ noun the injury or killing of someone by electric shock.
bloxcox
Electric+Execute=Electrocute so ig you could say its bad a electrocuting them
[deleted]
[deleted]
aggregatenow
The derivation is right, though...
xrosstalk
Ya electrocute is technically to the death BUT electric shock is the event and usually what they call the injury if you live. (I know this.)
bloxcox
https://www.dailywritingtips.com/electrocute/ I'm just going of this dude lmk if you got a source that's better
bloxcox
Mind explaining how?
Schmapplesauce
Yeah I'm curious as well how this could be wrong, let alone on multiple levels.
bobtheaxolotl
The word is indeed a portmanteau of "electric" and "execute", and originally just referred to people killed by electricity.
bobtheaxolotl
Now it tends to get used for serious injury caused by electricity, and in imgur, apparently, snails catching 9 volts at low amperage.
narcissisthis
Getting to see portmanteau on Imgur has made my day.
bekkayya
If you don't die, you were shocked. Hence shocking damage, not electrocution damage.
bekkayya
I'm shocked you arent dead by electrocution.
