@Elizafox i studied this shit for 5 years, and I still cannot say I do understand the meaning of 'ground'.

@LukeAlmighty @Elizafox Imagine you have a toaster. If for any reason the resistance inside breaks and touches the case, you got an assassin instead of a toaster. Good thing the ground cable exists, to take all that electricity and throw it 5 meters into the ground.

Right?

No, people don't install the ground copper stick, they don't use any of this, and appliance engineers have developed so many redundant protecting mechanisms that nowadays you rarely see people being electrocuted by leaks. Besides, in today's consumerist world if your appliance has a slight leak you just replace it.
@LukeAlmighty @Elizafox i understand it as safely discharging voltage by sending it on a certain path
