      If this is the study I’m remembering and not a replication, they mentioned that many of the participants who chose to be shocked (which could just be curiosity) even went back for more afterward because they were bored.

          I mean one of my favorite episodes of The Modern Rogue is the one about the “Milwall brick” or whatever it’s called, where Brian and Jason just hit each other with rolled up newspapers. It’s the guyest thing ever recorded on video.
