also I like to sarcastically promote copper stealing anytime the topic comes up by just sending wojack memes that have the copper hater as the sad small wojack and the copper stealer as the big chad wojack

    My favorite game is “do they have a sign saying fiber optic cables because the cables are fiber optics? Or are they just saying that so I won’t steal the copper?”

      It is because it is fiber optic cables.

      Utilities aren’t playing chess with this, they don’t have the time/inclination.

      I work on the engineering/construction side of things, in utilities. The closest we get to this is we try to use tinned wire, so anything that is bare, like grounds, don’t look like copper.

      Look, this right here is the perfect society in the making. At day people get payed to replace the property of companies, at night everyone steals it back.

      Please keep stealing it and forcing my cheap-ass boss to periodically upgrade to modern electric safety standards.
