I gotta say: this meme makes me irrationally angry.

Because resistors fail open. So the truth is not that they can't resist, they resist too much.

NO, IM NOT BEING A PEDANT.

You're thinking about it wrong though, they fail because their rating is exceeded, i.e. they aren't able to resist what they're being fed with, so they fail and then resist everything. So "I couldn't resist" is correct because it's past tense.

NO! THEY WANTED TO RESIST TOO MUCH!

THATS WHAT GENERATED THE HEAT THAT BURNED UP THEIR RESISTIVE ELEMENT, BECAUSE THESE ARE POSITIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT DEVICES!!! AS HEAT INCREASES, RESISTANCE INCREASES, WHICH CREATES MORE HEAT, WHICH IS THE CYCLIC MODE OF FAILURE FOR THE COMPONENT!!!

IT WOULD BE MORE ACCURATE TO SAY THAT THEY COULDN'T STAND THE HEAT!!!!!!

GAHHHHHHRRRRRRGHJJJHJJJFHKGTDJHW!!!!

I'm cool. Totally fine. Very normal.

Correct, and they weren't able to. They couldn't resist.

Correct, and they weren't able to. They couldn't resist.

BUT IF THEY COULDN'T RESIST, THEY WOULD FAIL CLOSED, BECAUSE THE FAILURE MODE IS INFINITE RESISTANCE!!!!

I WILL ARGUE THIS POINT UNTIL MY DYING BREATH. THIS IS THE HILL I DIE ON.

FOR SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, I think it only gets to me because Elon Musk posted it once when I was in my "grief Elon on twitter" period of online life.

Ah, those were the days. Pointlessly punching up and getting dog piled on.

Ah, that makes sense then. I'll leave it alone and let you have this.

Good job everyone.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go practice Lee Sklar's bass line to Phil Collins' "Anode Day In Paradise" then rewatch Schottky & Hutch
