Cat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) 
Me when I have to work on anything remotely high voltage... ⚡💥🔥
Dad was an electrical engineer, and his stories of stuff he's seen both in and out of the Navy STILL haunts me.

Comrade Weez@catsalad reverse polarising a lytic makes the most satisfying paf but stank
vxo@weezmgk @catsalad oh wait till you see a slow-roasted reversed or shorted tantalum lol
As I recall this was with the current limited to 2.5A, which led to the cap's failure taking a while and going out with what looks like a character in a Tex Avery cartoon feeling overwhelming desire

Tantalum cap bites it!!
@weezmgk @catsalad at one of my old jobs we had just dozens of organizer cabinets of new old stock parts including hundreds of values of capacitors where all the tantalums and electrolytics had been stored under high humidity and weird temperatures long enough that almost all of them were failed short if you tried to use them, so every now and then I'd try to charge one up as a stress relief measure
anyway here's wonderwall
