Help on straightening out my cord? I can’t seem to just pull it straight and I’m scared of using heat. It’s a power cord for a laptop

This is the problem with the internet. People just post a picture of their damn cord all tangled and demand someone tell them how to untwist it...FFS get one end free and let it untwist naturally, then try to work any other twists out with your fingers. It may not be perfect but I guarantee it won’t turn back into this mess if you put in the minimalist of efforts. I’d argue it took more effort to take a picture and post it online.

Can you imagine our grandparents reaction to this? You somehow figured out a way to share this picture with millions of people across the globe, hell someone in the space station could see this, and you can’t figure out how to untwist this.

I think this may be the very moment that I’ve turned into a crotchety old man.
