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)

I accidentally destroyed my microwave by putting a sideways bottle of wine in the cabinet above it, which all leaked out and poured into it. Then I forgot and my GF started using it a day or two later and it spontaneously stopped running, for some odd reason.

Was there any smoke or just the quiet embrace of death?

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.
