        YOUR PUNY AIR CANNOT CONTAIN ME MORTALS, YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ME GREAT PILONS IN VAST SWITCH YARDS TO APPEASE ME!

        (Angle grinder sounds)

        Wait… Is that a copper bus bar and a pipe? PATHETIC! NO BUS BAR IN A PIPE CAN MATCH MY ELECTRIC FIELD STRENGTH, I WILL FLASHOVER THE MOMENT YOU ENERGISE -

        (Hissing sound of a gas filling a pressure vessel)

        What are you doing? WAIT, IS THAT SF6?! NOOOOOOO YOU CAN’T JUST SMOOTHER ME IN AN INERT GAS WITH A HIGHER DIELECTRIC STRENGTH, I HAVE RIGHTS! NOOOOOOoooooo

        (Muffled screams)

    With sufficient voltage, everything is a conductor.

    With insufficient voltage, everything is an insulator.

    Neither may be conducive to those roles, but everything has some conductivity and some resistance (super conductors being a possible exception).

    Always fun stuff to work with, DI water or oil are great insulators, though one sucks to clean up if you spill it 😓

    High frequency! It Mega hurtz!

    Low frequency! It kill a hurtz!

    Ultra high frequency! It giga hurtz!

    Pretty much any high voltage high frequency thing really hurtz. It’ll kill you at different rates but it’ll hurt the entire time.

    Everything is a wire if the voltage is high enough.

    Every machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

      Oi! As an engineer I worked damn hard to trap that magic smoke in the machine only for you to let it out and try perfectly good components. Treat your machines with respect, they’re getting smarter by the day and they’re forgetting less and less!

      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.

        that just sounds like a weird interview.

        “you’re qualified for this position if, and only if, you can answer a useless question with only a rudimentary understanding of the subject and no critical thought”

        if true, you dodged a bullet

        Honestly I think you gave the experienced adult answer to what was a high school or even middle school science question.
