One might also note that a shark attack can leave a cool, adventuristic looking scar on your body. If someone was to put out a video describing how to get a wild shark to bite parts of your body without completely severing your limbs, in order to achieve this cool look, I’d be pretty okay with YouTube removing said video for encouraging reckless stupidity.

While never an electrician I was, in my younger days, an amateur tinkerer. And yes, I’ve take some jolts. But when I’m working with power straight from the circuit I make sure to flick the breaker. (And to double check the wires in the actual box because I’ve seen idiots run more than one circuit in a junction box.)
Microwave transformers are linear, not flyback. When used in a microwave, and as used in fractal burning.
It’s actually far safer using a neon sign transformer than a microwave oven transformer.
Big Clive describes how to do fractal burning relatively safely although his advice is very much “don’t do it, but if you must, then…” One of his recommendations is precisely to use a neon sign transformer because they are current limited. Microwave oven transformers are typically not. A neon sign transformer is significantly less likely to kill you (but still risky).
Problem with a microwave transformer is that it will give you more than a “jolt”, and that disconnecting the power to it does not mean that it’s de-energized.
Well, disconnecting the power from a microwave does not mean the capacitor is de-energised. The transformer doesn’t hold a charge.
Also, IME, disconnecting the power from a microwave almost always does mean it’s de-energised. They have discharge resistors across the capacitor which will bleed off their charge very shortly after the power is disconnected.
The risk is that for some reason those discharge resistors are missing or open circuit ie not working, thereby leaving the capacitors charged to a lethal extent. This is a very low risk, although of course the potential consequences mean it’s a risk worth guarding against.
