Default Please set me straight

I know that fat, on its own, doesn't make us fat. However, I've been watching a lot of YouTubes about insulin, and the concept that you can't store fat w/o insulin raises a question for me. If you ate more fat than you burned (or wasted, according to the research of Ben Bikman, PhD), what happens to it without the insulin spike that would result if you ate carby foods along with it?
This is absolutely not a nudge toward avoiding fat, and it isn't in the context of the question of whether you'll burn dietary fat vs stored fat. I'm talking about massive fat intake, which may be hypothetical, but I still wonder. Call it a thought experiment.
