Nah, gum doesn't really ooze into small spaces like that. It gets soft with heat, but it's too thick to flow into tight wire bundles. The real problem is it gets sticky and holds all the dust and crud together, which can trap heat. More often, someone just smushes it into a port and it hardens into a plug you can't get out.

Wait, I never thought about how these services actually stop you from exploring. You're just stuck with what they send instead of trying new stuff on your own.

Honestly, we cut corners on small stuff all the time and it works out.

Ugh, that's such a tough position to be in.
