Eh, ~zero impedance house circuits won't do anything bad to normal electronics - it'll just make sure no fires happen in your walls. I do almost all home wiring in 12 gauge and larger for this reason

Actually, the comic only has 500A breakers and don't say anything about wires. Recipe for fire!

I think that's the joke, especially since the alt text asks about getting melted copper off the carpet.
