I really can’t believe folks are doing this on electronics that aren’t sealed 😂

Don’t tell me how to live my life. You’re not my real dad!
Mine will be back with the milk any day now. It has only taken 20 years.
It worked 30 years ago, it’ll work today. Now, where’s my cane?
Air keeps escaping mine, so I keep trying to blow it back in…
My game card slot is not allowed to drop below 2 atm of air pressure 😠
Tangential story. About 7 years back I had a Saturn SC2. One day the warning lights and speedometer etc went all wonky. Car wouldn’t start etc. Mechanic said it’s likely the computer needs to be replaced.
Fast forward to me figuring out where it was located. I removed it, blew out the connection with just my mouth as I didn’t have compressed air to use, and put it back. Worked perfectly after that until my shifting forks cracked several years later and I had to junk the car. Man I loved that car. Good ol’ Phoebe (a moon of Saturn and what I named my car)
Maybe you actually have a superpower to fix anything just by blowing on it but you have only ever tried it with that.
That was like a 500 dollar breath of air, that’s awesome.
The correct answer is compressed air! Breath brings moisture, and compressed air blows the dust out much more efficiently!
No I don’t think I will

Gotta blow on the carts to perform better
Look, what I do when I’m short on cash, but want a new console is my own damn business, so just-- OH!!! Blow INTO their consoles. Never mind.
The real trick is to lick your cartridges before inserting them, helps the bits slide through more smoothly.
People to this day blow in their cartridges so…^^ But the don’t insert cotton tips is probably good advice.
What should we blow instead?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)
You mean I can’t get the dust out of the Wii U disk drive that way?
You can’t tell me who or what I can or can not blow. In fact, I’m going to blow into my switch right now just to spite you!
Yeah well, I will still blow into my NES games, no matter how many youtube videos and articles try to tell me that it’s bad. It works and I’ve never had any ill effects and I’ve been doing it since the 80s.
Yeah, you blew into the cartridge, not the NES itself.
Why would you put a cotton bud in?!
Blowing into it now… yeah I’ve done that 😂😂
