wait... so that's a thing to be constantly all shocky?!?! WHY what causes this? Asking for a friend.
So! I never actually looked into it until I was doing research for Reno, but it’s basically that you keep rubbing against things so you become negatively charged so whenever you come into contact with something, and it becomes worse when the weather is dry as the charge can’t escape into the air as quickly (due to lack of moisture) so you’re charged for a little longer. [Video link for better and more in-depth science]
The sofa in my uni house keeps negatively charging me so I get shocked by walls, door frames, the fridge, my friends, and even the front door (guess who’s scared to touch it immediately after sitting down xD)
So basically, one time when I was walking while it was warm and dry, I seemed to have negatively charged myself and the charge decided the metal on my jogger drawstrings was the perfect place to escape. And that’s the story of how I shocked my crotch one time
