If you're gonna take a washing machine apart and you cut all the wires, make sure you cut the main electrical plug off as well or your dumbass son (me) will plug it in and electrocute himself with it.

and electrocute himself with it.

Um, aktschully, you shocked yourself. If you electrocuted yourself, you would be dead.

WAIT. UNLESS YOU DID DIE. DOES THAT MAKE YOU A GHOST?!!! A GHOST THAT CAN TYPE ON KEYBOARDS!!! AMAZING!!!

Yes, I am a ghost, I don't type I just yell at it I till something happens, it's exhausting.

You are doing it the hard way. You can shrink yourself down and enter the keyboard. By flying underneath the key membranes you can short out the contacts and make the keys trigger. So I've heard.
