It's not hard (I learned it when I was 6 or 7 because my mother used to work in electronics assembly before it all went to Taiwan) but it requires a lot of practice. If you take an electronics course, they'll probably have you soldering several hundred wire on wire connections before you even get to solder some real components because good soldering is required for a good connection and it isn't trivial. Obviously, I've never been killed because I usually observe some pessimistically-biased rules of conduct when it comes to live wires
Getting zapped with 110V stings a lot in the best case-I've done that a few times- and in the worst case if the current causes you to involuntarily grab the leads, it will kill. Faulty wiring is the third most common cause of house fires.

I haven't seen one of the serial strings since I was a - Certainly. If you do want to fix it, you need to either get a soldering iron and create a real connection or shunt out the defective light with correctly rated wingnut connectors or - Yeah, that made me wonder too. but that depends on the state of the foil and the number of bubls because for some reason you seem to have a serially connected set of lights) (if you're lucky, the bulbs will provide enough resistance to lower the current so it doesn't get hot enough. (here with a deliberately loose connection) Your "solution" is operating on the same principle as this. This combination can supply a lot of heat so if there's things to burn nearby, such as electrical tape, and a plastic holder, and maybe wallpaper or carpets, you can start a fire. What you're doing here is to create a potentially shitty/loose connection (the foil slowly corrodes in air) in a circuit that's driven by the mains. Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true!
