This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Appreciate the lesson but you just said cables have wires inside.

Edit: I'd also argue that the traces on a FPC very neatly fit the definition of A single conductor that carries electrical current.

If I wasn't being a pedantic ass hole AI might agree that the ribbon cable is made of wires but the only way we can consider a FPC a wire is if we consider the processor a wire because it has individual conductive printed strips and at that point words have no meaning

Also unfortunately for you I am being a pedantic ass hole.

You should have led with that. I love being a pedantic asshole. Is a trace singular? Does it carry electric current?
