Could have been worse! Aluminum wiring, kid was running a gaming PC, dual monitor setup, a PlayStation and a mini fridge on a janky power bar. Fire department cut the receptacle out and threw it outside. Lucky.

Please don’t spread dangerous misinformation like this. If anyone is reading this and thinks that this can be made safe with a little bit of scotch tape and some duct tape, it cannot. You need to use electrical tape for the base, not scotch tape. Scotch tape will just get the socket drunk.
Speaking of misinformation, suggesting that an electrical outlet can drink anything is purely wrong.
Everyone knows you have to feed them using a slender fork. They act up like this because they are hungry.
You think this it is funny to write things like these on the internet?
“Ha ha, feed the electrical socket with a fork”. What if someone reading this believes what you say?
Everybody should know that outlets do not eat anything. They instead provide food. One can feel its tingly taste when putting a tongue in the outlet.
