RE: not to hurt you

You have to use properly rated capacitors in these applications.

Capacitors rated X TYPE have been tested to be reliable and safe to use ACROSS THE POWER LINE, that is to say, between "hot" and "neutral."

Capacitors rated Y TYPE have been tested and certified to be safe and reliable for use between LINE and GROUND.

These capacitors are used to reduce cross-mode and common-mode noise and RFI. See https://electrosome.com/x-and-y-rated-capacitors/
Science doesn't care what you believe.
