ELI5: Why does a 50,000-Volt taser hurt, but a 110 Volt socket can kill?

And furthermore, how scared should I be of amperes?

Volts are a measurement of how badly electricity wants to move.  Air resists the movement of electricity quite well, so sending a spark requires a lot of volts.  That's why tasers can be tens of thousands of volts and even a carpet spark can be in the thousands of volts when conditions are right.

Amperes are a measurement of how much electricity is flowing.  This is what actually kills you, but of course there's no danger if the electricity can't flow in the first place.

Tasers use very low current so they're not typically lethal (although they can kill if you get unlucky).  A car battery has relatively low voltage (12 V) so it's not able to make electricity flow through the air, but it can easily push over 100 amps.  That's why it won't kill you to touch, but can start a car and can melt metal if you bridge the terminals with a metal tool.

A home electric socket can provide both high enough voltage and high enough current to be dangerous.
