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)

    Socks on the carpet, get yourself nice and charged up with static electricity, then touch the chips on the circuit board a bunch. Or get a bug zapper and a piece of wire and connect it up to random chips on the board. Or if it’s small enough to go in the microwave stick the whole thing in the microwave for a few seconds until well done. Or drill some metal and sprinkle the metal chips into the vent holes.
