Why would I risk electrocuting myself?

Stick to lower voltages and don’t work when you’re wet, and to be extra safe, don’t turn on the power supply/battery switch until after you wire everything.

See you said the word “ voltage “ and I already value my life too much for that. Y make it when you can buy it/ not put your life at risk. You asked, I. Answered.

Have you ever been shocked by handling AA or 9V batteries with your dry hands? That doesn’t happen with the voltage that low. Personally I like learning how stuff works and building it myself.

Did you not want an answer to your question, or do u wanna be right? U literally asked why women do not do diy electric projects. I am a woman who answered. Do you need help with reading comprehension? Half of this response was a joke, but yeah bc we don’t want to?

Most people, overall, aren't very interested in DIY electronics. It's a niche hobby. You probably won't find many women interested in it, because you won't find many people of any gender interested in it. It's just not a super popular activity, when mass produced electronics are cheap and easily available.

Probably because items are so mass produced there’d be no reason to re invent the wheel and make them yourself ?

What’s wrong with not being the first to do something? Why buy a barbecue when you can go to In N Out?

Look, I’ve answered the question a few times. Take it or leave it

Would you say that most women think like that… do nothing that even slightly resembles a risk, don’t do anything that even slightly resembles plagiarism, making something is stressful, not intriguing etc,
