Tingly Tetris game
Added 2023-08-11 14:53:23 +0000 UTCThis Tetris type of ornament/toy sent in by Ray isn't meant to give electric shocks, but due to the poor choice of power supply it does.
With a defective power supply it could also give a fatal shock due to the exposed nature of the electrical contacts and "gripability" of the live blocks.
Fortunately it's not hard to splice on a new USB power supply to make it safer.

The magnets would be slightly complicated due to the many ways the pieces could be put together.

2023-08-12 22:53:05 +0000 UTCI've had one of these for a few years (a Christmas gift from my sister) the blocks make such a poor connection now that it rarely connects beyond the first couple of blocks, so most of it just sits there dark, or occasionally flickering.
