Low voltage: "Oh no, there is a tiny spot of corrosion on the contact surface, I think I need to lie down..."

High voltage: (rips line of coke) "I'M GONNA MAKE MY OWN WIRES WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS!"

You have to keep in mind that the resistance from one foot to your other is going to be less than dry earth between your strides. This means if you are walking toward a downed power line, you may inadvertently walk within its path to its ground and the voltage could actually travel through you.

The safest way to do it is to get someone else to touch it first.

I was interviewed for a position where lady handed me a pen and asked if it was a conductor.

I replied: "if the voltage is high enough, yea. She scoffed. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.

High voltage: “hey bestie, how would you like a ✨️new and improved ✨️ nervous system?”

I always thought that was a dumb saying because voltage is specifically what allows there to be a lethal current.

10kV static discharge and 5kA @ 1mV would like a word.

This is so accurate. Try reading this without knowing what it is. It's impossible

What about this one?

Dielectric breakdown, literally carving its own path of least resistance through the air.

You might not like it, but this is what peak conductivity looks like

It is still the path of least resistance but it created it itself. It ionizes the air creating a channel for it and then makes the leap, creating a conductive conduit of plasma/ions, as air currents move that around the path of least resistance can get progressively more nuts because there's still a path through the ionized air.

Yeah, maybe it needs a Hedberg-ism to get it across to people.

Electricity takes the path of least resistance. It takes the other paths, but it takes the least resistance path too.

Just lather yourself up with that oil bb don't let it go to waste

I WILL LITERALLY SPLIT THE AIR ITSELF
