I like your passion about natural selection but you could at least mention galvanic isolation and and consequences of its lacking

I’m not sure I have a reason to build this circuit, but I got a lot out of it regardless. Seeing how some of the concepts put into practice gives me a much better understanding of the concept. <br>Thanks for sharing your experience with the community!

I'd still use opto-isolators or s step down transformer rather than connect AC mains to my ADC via resistors only. You really should consider some form of isolation for safety.

Thank you very much this is indeed useful stuff I thought what you said only small voltage.

The chassis of most oscilloscopes is connected to earth ground. Measuring mains voltage without a differential probe can lead to potentially fatal consequences.
