There's an electric fence where I volunteer to keep animals out, and apparently it's quite painful if you accidentally touch it, but not lethal. I constantly have to fight my curiosity to know just how painful it is, so I don't blame them.

Pain is preferable to many things. Boredom & nuisances to name 2.

My ADHD 🧠: "I'm not sure the shock would be more painful than the boredom..."

If this is the study I'm thinking of, one particular guy just kept shocking himself nearly a hundred times. Some people are just built different

I'd enjoy knowing I was an interesting statistic in the experiment. Maybe I can be an outlier worthy of a footnote or appendix.
