      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

        I wouldn’t say you ruined the joke but used it as an opportunity to teach. Thanks again
