Fuses and ALTERNATING Current

Posted by FlaCharlie on January 18, 2023 at 07:04:36:
Earlier it was pointed out that in an AC line, which is where almost all fuses are used, the electricity changes direction.
No one has refuted this. Yet no one has addressed this either.
Please explain why the direction of the fuse matters when the electricity that's flowing through it is constantly changing direction.
If the electricity if flowing through the fuse in the "correct" direction half the time and in the "incorrect" direction half the time, the orientation of the fuse shouldn't matter.
It seems to me that this is the "elephant in the room" question, which the true believers have chosen to ignore.
