Bought a thermal imaging camera, planning to use it to check for hidden cameras in hotels.

Just chilling at home, I scanned around and saw the power line of the kitchen induction cooker showing 80 degrees on the screen. I reached out to touch it, and it was so hot I pulled my hand back. Unplugging it, I noticed the power strip was already charred, with a burnt spot inside.

No one knows how long that wire had been cooking there. Could be months. Maybe longer.

I stared at the screen for a while, not knowing what to say. Bought it to catch creeps, and ended up saving my own life first.
