Wild...we don't have them on outlet-basis, it's the entire house that's protected by them, they're installed at the power-inlet to the house so everything is protected by it. And they're mandatory even on old houses.

It’s a bad idea either to go touching live wires either way, but the rule of thumb I heard was was that a 110V shock usually won’t kill you and 220V shock usually will.
That's completely incorrect though. I've been shocked by 230VAC at least a dozen times, if not more. And the fuse for the circuit absolutely should not be the limiter, the RCCB should trip WAY before the main fuse.
Key thing here being that they're old...there are limits to how much power electrical equipment is allowed to consume in standby mode (at least in the EU) today, it's not allowed to consume more than 0.5W in standby mode, 0.8W if it has a status display.
It's amazing that group VoIP is still as janky as it was 20 years ago...
Well it's also that they're highly aggressive animals that will attack (and kill) pretty much anything that gets just a little too close for their comfort, despite looking cute and cuddly.
There's a reason we talk about lethal current and not lethal voltage...30mA can kill you, even at something ridiculously low as 9V, but 5-10kV will not necessarily kill you, e.g. fences for horses will not kill you if you're electrocuted by them because there's basically no amperage. Voltage is not the determining factor in lethalness.
110 is probably better in terms of general safety
Eh, not really. There is no significant difference in safety between 110vac and 230vac. Voltage is not the (most) dangerous part, it's the amps that kill if you're electrocuted.
Hippos are also deceptively docile looking creatures
They're not wrong though, this is a meme sub and this post is not actually a meme so it doesn't really belong. I disagree with your statement that the commenter wants it gone because they don't personally like it, they want gone because it is objectively is not a meme and shouldn't be posted here.
Intentional violation of community rules should trigger warnings/bans/etc. in a well moderated community.
Nothing in the other persons comment suggests that type of moderation though
kinda lit
No it was unplugged
Yeah that was seriously disappointing, who knew "robot kick boxing" could be so boring.
