Had a debate with my little brother about that 'cell phone explosion' clip from last week

Did you ever think about how your phone could just decide to turn into a little fireball? I swear, my phone gets so hot just watching TikTok that I half expect it to launch into space. That clip made me double-check my charging cable like I'm defusing a bomb now.

Same here. Now I unplug mine as soon as it's full.

Could just decide to turn into a little fireball" is EXACTLY how I feel now. I used to charge my phone on my bed while I slept. Not anymore. Now I keep it on a ceramic plate on my nightstand like it's some kind of ticking time bomb. That clip really messed with my head because it wasn't even a cheap knockoff battery. It was a name brand phone. Makes you wonder how many other people have had close calls they never even knew about.
