Broadband Memes

Ever looked at power lines and thought "hmm, free electricity delivery service?" That's the energy in this meme! Someone's hilariously misinterpreting the "Broadband Internet" infrastructure plan as offering direct 400 kilovolt electrical service to homes. Spoiler alert: connecting your house directly to transmission lines would turn your living room into a spectacular light show... followed by a pile of ashes! High-voltage transmission lines carry electricity at 100,000+ volts specifically to AVOID sending that much power to your toaster. Your home gets a much safer 120/240 volts after multiple transformers step it down. But hey, who doesn't want to power their gaming PC with enough electricity to light up a small city? 😂
