<human>: I was always a really curious kid.  I loved taking things apart trying to figure out how they worked.  Well, one day I took apart some kind of toy computer (battery operated) and thought that I would hook it up to the AC outlet and try and get it to work.  Not knowing the difference between AC and DC currents I thought it would be no problem.  Long story short, I cut off some random plug attached the wires and nothing.  After seeing that this wasn't going to work I wondered what would happen if I touch the two exposed ends of the plug together.... while it was still plugged in...  A huge bright orange flash, loud boom and me nearly shitting myself is what happened, for those who have never tried it.  So, Reddit, what have you done?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Tried to use AC power to power  a DC toy. Touched the exposed ends together. Saw a bright flash, scarred the shit out of my mom
