Jesus, she flew so fast after she got fried there she made it all the way to Borneo from Equestria. That’s impressive!

[Obligatory fried chicken pun]

Boibu better be careful

Kinda reminds me of manga cover of Chobits.

Transmission lines like that are aluminum, not copper. Also the wood of the pole has very high resistance and would be a very minimal fact towards electrical shock. (would take 800+ V 100+ A to make a pole to begin to smoke, slightly less when wet, but said water would steam and bring up the resistance and required power draw, but by that time, line fuses would’ve likely popped by then)

Le sigh… birds don’t conduct the electricity yes due to path of least resistance, however, they do not cross PHASE. Have the wires a lot closer to the birds (which is greatly increases the likelihood of phases touching each other, bird or no bird) and there would be a few good pops, and instant fried wings for those desperate enough. That being said, birds are LIVE TO PHASE, and it would just take a touch to another phase or ground to have a puff of feathers raining down from the sky. Now as for the case of Scoots, being as big as she is, she could easily cross phases with a single mistake, and judging by the proximity of her tail and hoof close to wires, had her tail be more conductive, she would be someone entree of birdhorse steak and chops… _{and wings… breaded and beer battered… deep fried @400F… coated in hot sauce… served with blue cheese dressing. no regrets!}

@G.S.  
Wow, thanks for the info.

@SFSLovenought
 
no actually it’s because electricity takes the path of least resistance and the birds do not conduct electricity as well as the copper wires the electricity is running through so it’s all like “fuck you bird you’re a waste of my time” and goes on its merry way
 
if, however, the bird touches TWO wires, and one wire has a higher voltage than the other, then you’re gonna be smelling some roasted bird
 
the bird will also be roasted if it touches a ground at the same time as the wire (something with zero voltage, such as the wood of the power pole)
 
so scoots might get electrocuted if she touches a wire while sitting on the wood

@SFSLovenought  
wew buddy, that’s rough

@hype  
I thought they didn’t have enough body mass to make the electricity want to jump into them.

@SFSLovenought  
yes
 
do you think irl birds are resistant to electricity? they’re always on those wires

@hype  
So… she won’t die? Is that what you are saying?

I suppose I’m the only one here that knows how electrical current works then
 
seriously some of the best scoots art in a while, though

Imminent fried chickun.
