Is it safe to use earbuds during thunderstroms?
My elders always told me not to use earphones or earbuds during thunderstroms because you could hit by lighting.
I wonder is this true? 🤔

The Mythbusters did an episode where they tested if you're more likely to get hit with (artificial) lightning with a piercing, which is pretty similar in terms of the physics of it. They only found a difference when they stuck a doorknob in the ballistic gell test subject's cheek. So if your earbuds are smaller than a doorknob, you're probably fine.
