    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.

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