Inevitably that clock will break one day and be replaced by another clock in a different spot on the wall and people will be confused why the pipe isn't straight.

You can tell that a plumber did this, the pipe is flat against with the wall.

It's flush.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 10 months ago

and the clock is still slightly crooked

well he'd better get some sleep because he's losing his mind.

Looks more like electrical conduit, but I appreciate the pun

[-] pendingdeletion@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

No that definitely looks more like a copper pipe than conduit which is typically PVC, steel, zinc… basically nothing that could be confused with copper.

[-] MyDearWatson616@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

They should make all electrical conduit out of copper so if there's a short in one of the wires it'll still conduct all the way to where it needs to be.

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Conduit is commonly conductive. And where conductive should be grounded.

Having the conduit itself be a power transmitting medium would be dangerous as people could touch the live circuit and injure themselves. But you could insulate the conduit making it safe, and essentially turning the conduit/wire inside into a coaxial "cable"...... this would have interesting implications for signal transmission.

I work with electricity. I was making a joke.

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Anyone bending conduit with kinks like that hates everyone who has to pull the cable through conduit.

I'm just impressed the plumber took the time to anneal the copper just for that.
