zalgo used to represent the demonization of high voltage

Because it follows every path at the same time

it’s also a reference to an existing meme

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

Sometimes it happens even below the arc breakdown voltage via air… Air molecules are slightly less dense along the surface of a smooth flat surface due to molecular ‘bounce’, so electrons creep along the lower density of a surface.

Hence, creepage on a PCB.

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