Oh yeah I definitely would have been curious.

When I was in grad school, a bunch of us were at the house of a guy with an invisible fence for his dog. Someone wondered if it was cruel and that led to each of the grad students there except me putting on the dog's collar and then crossing the fence. (The consensus was that it really hurts, but it isn't agonizing.) At the time I knew that not shocking myself was, in some sense, the smart thing to do, but in retrospect I regret being a boring dork.

I'd love to be judgemental about this, but I'd absolutely be in that 25% of women who did it too.

The best part is "at least one". What's the breakdown of more than one shock?

I want to see the percentage who gave themselves more than one. They're the real heroes of this study.

If I know that I'm in an experiment then I must gather information about the experiment.

I licked a 9 volt from the beeping smoke detector the other day to see if it was dead. Nobody was around to impress and it wasn't for fun, just wanted a quick result.

Would probably shock myself if stuck alone for 15 mins too. Heck, I find those shocking handle games to be hilarious fun.

Note: have ADHD which may or may not be related since I keep forgetting how much getting shocked hurts. Burns leave a mark and are more memorable so I wouldn't touch anything hot for fun.

"Ow, that was painful. What would happen if I press the button again?"

Can't believe they shocked themselves :o

Meanwhile millenials:

I'd zap my dick and give them a whole new category for their charts!

I would like to see a study done with several groups:

1. People who read multiple books each year
2. People who watch lots of video essays
3. People who listen to podcasts
4. People who prefer short-form content such as TikTok
5. Veterans
6. Educators, such as teachers or professors
7. Librarians
8. A control group composed of people who either do not fit into the other categories

I've heard a lot of people claiming some of these groups are better than others of these groups, but I'm rooting for a null result.

Honestly, I would do it in the first 5 minutes.

I'm really surprised no one here said they would pull down their pants and start violently jerking off while intently staring at the researchers through the one-way window thing.

Where is the shock happening? I might be pressing the button a lot if it's to the prostate.

Girls not curious or just used their knowledge base?

Boooring.

Hey...

ZAP.

I need to see a chart of how many times they shocked themselves
