Ok so I got this idea not while showering, but because I’m very high. The story does come from my bathroom though! I have a night light in my bathroom, and I was looking at the night light as I turned off the bathroom light. I’m a big nerd so I remembered that the things that detect light levels are actually diodes wired in reverse. I thought it would be funny to make it flicker by reflecting the light back on the diode, but it didn’t work. That’s when I had this realization

    I was going to protest this, but then I started looking into how ac is converted to dc and realized that it would be cheaper to just let the diodes run on ac.

    oh shit, my stoned ass wasn’t prepared for this
