Electricity does not take the path of least resistance. It takes every path available, inversely proportional to that paths resistance.

When the voltage gets high enough, it will literally start ripping molecules apart in order to make its own path.

Also, nice meme, nerd.

It takes every path available, and with high enough voltage, more paths become available

High voltage be like: "Fuck you. I'm gonna make my own wire, with blackjack and hookers (and ionization)!"

Never mind carbonizing the path it took along the PCB so future breakdown happen at much lower voltages 😑

PCBs: ✅ Fucked Your shit: ✅ Also fucked Your day: see above

So... something weird happened with my phone, and I thought I clicked a link for electricity solving a maze and got this instead and it was... a uniquely confusing experience.

But also weirdly nostalgic for back when confusing things happened on the internet all the time so... thanks?

You are welcome. We all need some more of that old internet.

How did I not know this song had a music video

[–] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't know.

Do you know the music video to the song where he wants to go to the gay bar with you? :D

I only know the song... I see I was missing out.

[–] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

Oh, you most definitely were missing out. :D

Thank you for sharing this. I was enthralled from start to finish.

Why is high voltage that hard to read?

[–] Ozzy@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

zalgo used to represent the demonization of high voltage

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

it's also a reference to an existing meme

Silicon isn't a conductor, it's a semiconductor. Also conductivity is dependent on temperature, hot stuff usually conducts easier, though some things conduct easier when they are colder. Even at the low voltage it's more complicated than "Conductors" and "Insulators" we learn in those ultra basic electronics guides online (or in school if you're lucky).

[–] Gladaed@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

Hot stuff always conducts. As in plasma.
