this is not actually something I'm planning on doing, I'm just curious.

my first thought is water, but then I considered, wouldn't salt water be better, with its enhanced conductivity? and that got me wondering, what else might work better still?

extra points if it does so without making it obvious what's at fault, or if it could plausibly happen by accident (or spontaneously)

We didn’t use it that often, and then (I said a couple of days m, I think it was longer) later, my gf was trying too cook a potato or something and it stopped working. I didn’t even remember and then was… oh. Yeah… hmm. Nothing dramatic, it just stopped running.
