It works, doesn't it?

@Yatagarasu

I don’t know if I would call it a lightbulb, but it works. How do normal ones work?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You run electricity through a small gap in wires and it gives off light.

@Yatagarasu

Arcing? If you want to kill your wires, sure.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I do.

@Yatagarasu

Explain it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Because the light overloads the fish's brains. You said they're blinding, so they're strong enough to give the fish seizures.

@Yatagarasu

Do fish get sei— you know what, never mind. Do you know how lightbulbs work?

I pick up the container and hold it to the wires and turn the switch.

@Yatagarasu

And that works why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You're moving the goalpost.

@Yatagarasu

*Rolls my eyes*
Okay, fine, new scenario. Everything is the same except you can't break the container.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I break it with the knife.

@Yatagarasu

You can't break the container.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I break the tank with the knife?

@Yatagarasu

It's made of steel.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

... What?

@Yatagarasu

Just answer the question, I'm checking something.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Uh... eighty four?

@Yatagarasu

You have two lightbulbs with exposed wiring that are blinding when you turn them on. You have the light switch nearby too, a fishing pole, and a knife. There's a small tank of fish and you want to kill them all as fast as you can. How do you do it with only the resources available to you? You can't use anything I didn't list and you don't have to use everything.
