The structure of a joke is always that of a capacitor decaying into a resistor, the punchline being the short point of contact.

  I have no idea what that means, so I’ll assume you’re right.

    Think of a capacitor the way it is drawn as a symbol in diagrams -| |- as in two plates facing each other seperated by an “air gap” or some other obstacle that cannot be crossed by the current.

    Across this gap energy and force can still be exerted, and an electrical circuit that can do work can be created using the capacitor… but every capacitor by definition is an electric potential that can be resolved by shorting the circuit, connecting those two plates, or in otherwords, delivering the punch line.

    idk, ask an AI, I actually find most AI responses very good at explaining this which makes it even funnier to me honestly.

      Just to go a bit deeper, everything should be considered a resistor, capacitor and inductor.

    I also have no idea what it means, but I know how impedance works so I’m going to assume that they’re not right.
