Let's start off with something truly terrifying:

Ever wanna heat up a single cup of tea or coffee but don't have a Keurig machine? Well, this little device just straight up runs power from the mains into the water and uh...yeah, this is a horrible idea.

Watch how high the power meter goes when he puts the thing in actual tea. We're talking kilowatts here. Don't try to stir your drink with a metal spoon, I guess.

I should be surprised by this, but Chinese businesses have lost the ability to do so TBH.  I've just come to expect the casual presentation of egregious hazard to ordinary users/employees.

It gets better...there's a giant version advertised for heating bath water for babies. Yikes!

They are REALLY desperate for negative population growth aren't they :|

Old-style Kaz humidifiers work like this, but they also have the electrodes buried deep in the head, where you can't touch them while the humidifier is running.

Well yeah, when it's buried inside an insulated plastic appliance with a grounded internal casing and no exposed live voltage, fine.  But...I mean, Jesus.

Not so much "grounded" as "double insulated", but yeah.
