I fear no man.

But that thing…

It scares me.

Is that some sort of electrical circuit?

Why do you fear it?

because if I built it I would probably die in the process

what does this mean

I should rephrase that; what does this do??

converts alternating current into direct current in possibly the most cursed way possible

I do not understand how electricity works other than the basics (path of least resistance, diodes are one way, transistors) but this does look strange

it’s a full wave rectifier (the four diode diamond thing) but with two of the diodes replaced with MOSFETs (the transistors that handle computing in CPUs)
