That “parallel” diagram… what am I looking at? The voltage is on the left, and presumably the load is on the bottom and that’s supposed to be a resistor placeholder. But the wire connects all the way around bypassing the killers, so I guess killers must be some sort of capacitor and this is some sort of killer-driven filter?

Taking a look at the bottom circuit, the killers on the left have the supply voltage across them, as does the resistive load. The ones on the right have fuck all going on, so may be a Magic Switch.

Well killers do remove people with some frequency, so I suppose they are functioning as a filter.

Technically speaking, in the bottom circuit, the two groups of two serial killers are not in parallel (or series), because of that pesky little resistor at the bottom.

Why is there always someone who fights back when being murdered?

Because they are the resistor

Parallel Killers would make a sick band name.

The V is for violence.

What? No representation for series-parallel killers?

Series killers? Serial circuit?

To be clear, these are parallel serial killers

This is to cater for any resistance that may be encountered.

Three serial and two parallel serial killers.

How do you know? What if each one has only killed once?

But within a series who gets credit for the kill - do they all share equally (socialism), or only the one most proximal to the victim (merit, I dunno?), or perhaps capitalism is at play so the richest one in the set gets all the credit for all the kills?
