If you are listening to music with wired headphones while the device you are using is charging, you are probably connected indirectly to someone doing the same.

The connection ends at the first transformer. Their is no electrical connection between primary and secondary.
- I more meant by the wires.
  
  The streams don’t cross though. It’s not physically connected.
  
  Transformers don't physically connect, in a transformer there's a coil on each side of input and output, and the electricity is transmitted by induction.
  But I enjoy the thought of being connected with people through electricity!
  
  Sorry friend. Lemmy ShowerThoughts is way too technical.
  
  Have you heard of this thing called The Internet?
Same idea works for toilets maybe
- I would rather not think about that one. Seems a lot less romantic
  
  Like how kissing is like connecting two long tubes with buttholes on either end?
  
  Farthing together is love, not romance
- Hopefully there's an air gap to prevent that.
  
  I think I've been doing toilet wrong
- Me and my neighbors have pooper party then :D
- And a few adult massagers.
If you're alive you're connected to all things and everything indirectly. Also if you're dead.
- Because of midichlorians?
  
  The Powerhouse Of The Cell™
- There's no definite "edge" of a proton or an electron, they just continue out asymptotically to infinity (I've been told)
if you're walking on earth, you're probably connected to someone. or showering. or breathing. or anything...
- When you’re taking a shit, you’re connected to multiple other peoples arses via the sewer network.
- Often times I’ve wondered how many people are fucking at a specific moment.
  
  I think about this a lot. And usually wish I was one of them.
You likely aren't because most power supplies are fully isolated.
