Why not try sticking the wire in your urethra to see what happens

Seems like the RH wire is taped up.
You might want to consider rewiring

Hmm, could it be that the fixture was made in China and uses non-rated bulbs? The neutral might not be the main concern here. The real issue could be the fire hazard above the ceiling!

I have a feeling that the insulation is really fragile and should definitely not be used. It’s a serious fire risk and you’re responsible if something happens. It has to be repaired.
Not either of those… Just link it up as it’s part of a switch loop

I would assume it’s the one with white residue, but if you’re unsure, use a voltmeter. Place one probe on the metal casing and the other on a wire. If there’s a voltage, that’s your hot wire.
The one that doesn’t cause tingling
They used to swap the neutral
Who is that?
Is one of the old timers
Retired
The one that remains silent when tested with the tick tracer haha
You might need to lick both to figure it out. It’s the best way.
Clearly it’s the one with the white stuff on it. What a silly person…
Making a guess
The white one 😂
The white one
The one that’s not powered
Testing is the best way to find out for sure
That wire looks kinda scary
Hey Scott Woodworth, start with cotton wire, heat shrink tubing…
Every electrician’s worst nightmare. 🙋♂️
Measuring voltage
Wow, that tic tester is something to think about 🤔
The one that has the white substance on it
Yikes, I’ve seen that in older infrastructure… lockout tagout 🧐
Ph Wayne, man.
Just got hit! 😨😆
Ph Wayne, lol

Haha I was just kidding.
O ahead and give it a lick
Try doing a continuity test by holding one lead with one hand and the ground with the other. Keep repeating this step until you identify the hot wire.
Simply lick your fingers to discover it.
Ive it a touch and see for yourself
(search)
Try hitting the one in the center.
Try touching it with your tongue to determine the positive one
If you have a non-contact tester, that works too.
The neutral wire is hidden inside the box
Norman agnon’s post was sarcastic. The one with the white is. It’s an old house & that’s what old folks did.
You should use a meter for this.
