When a breaker pops the switch moves to the middle, to reset, you have to turn it all the way off and then back on. If it’s in the middle and you go straight to on then it’s just springy and nothing happens, and it moves back to the middle.
So yeah, ruins the joke but nothing’s compromised here.
That actually is good context tho. Ive sometimes turned a switch from middle to on and wondered why it did nothing and then turned them all off and on and it worked. I assumed i was flipping the wrong switch
They would still trip in this case
Yeah, the switch isn’t the breaker it’s just the reset is my understanding.
So would this reset immediately or not reset at all?
Not at all, it has to be flipped off before you can turn it back on.

Thanks!
I wouldn’t say you ruined the joke but used it as an opportunity to teach. Thanks again
…over the stack of plugs sticking so far out from the wall.
I highly doubt those LEDs are drawing over 20A in the first place. Those lights only draw like 0.2W per ft, or 69W per 1k LEDs.
You’d need nearly 35,000 LEDs, or about 12,000ft of lights to trip the breaker.
Yeah the best option is to just bypass the breaker box completely.
