Pointlessly gendered

- Don’t you know that women can’t be electricians? It messes with the ovaries.

Said the fucking influencer wannabe

I would love for everyone to stop wanting to be influencers.

Being an influencer today, is the modern day equivalent to going to Hollywood wanting to be a star in the 80s

false dilemma, you can be an electrician influencer.

that's like all I get on tiktok now is people showing off their finishing touches.

- Or on youtime with our one and true eyebrow: ELECTROBOOM

  Imagine having your home's electics done by Electroboom. I think I'd rather try my luck by doing the electronics myself.

- But what are you doing as an electrician influencer? Influence the meaty-chlorians to charge your devices?

  Wow dude, what a way to generalize an entire gender on a single dumb person. The OOP in this tweet is dumb I know, but you aren't any less dumber in this way

Mechanics get no bitches tho, influencers are swimming in orbiter pussy.

Go learn a trade then. Be the change.

- Exactly. Ain't no rule stating ladies can't pick up a wrench.

Let's have no influencers, FTFY

As a man who mildy electrocuted himself working on his own house yesterday I must say I'd rather be an influencer.

- I'm going to be annoying and tell you that you were mildly shocked, not electrocuted. "Electrocute" specifically refers to lethal exposure to electricity, as a portmanteau of "electric" and "execute".
  
  Though I think the word is starting to go the way of "literally".

  If electrocution is lethal, mild electrocution would be sub-lethal and just make you with you were dead, yes?

  Am an electrician, we say electrocuted, shocked, or zapped depending on severity. I can tell you none of my coworkers who have been electrocuted died. Why be pendantic, when its rarely used in that sense.
  
  Also a lethal amount of voltage can be damn near any voltage, dc, or ac. So still technically correct. Being hit by 240, or 120, can most certainly kill you. It just rarely does so unless something goes very wrong.

  Also incorrect. It's to be injured or killed by electric shock.

Anti-feminist take.

Be the change you want to see.

Electrician here.

Even when they enter the trades, some of them are still dreaming of becoming influencers. We had a builder at our house who popped up when I was scrolling through TIk Tok. We were talking one day about how he was going off on his own as a builder and all of a sudden we were talking about what was clearly his real dream of becoming some kind of car influencer.
