Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks.

The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130.

I was not able to find an explanation.
Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer.

At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.

Euclid??? The greek mathematician?

Euclid-class SCPs are anomalies that require more resources to contain completely or where containment isn't always reliable. Usually this is because the SCP is insufficiently understood or inherently unpredictable. Euclid is the Object Class with the greatest scope, and it's usually a safe bet that an SCP will be this class if it doesn't easily fall into any of the other standard Object Classes.

.......what is an SCP?

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

Secure Contain Protect

SCP is a collaborative wiki fiction edited and written by lots of people for years now. It started as kind of a novelty, a fake wiki of heavily redacted files relating to an organization's attempts to contain cryptids and various weird things. Its evolved over time and has numerous narrative arcs etc now.

SCP-3008 The Perfectly Normal IKEA, and SCP-3333 about a spacial anomaly on a fire tower are my 2 favorites, but I haven’t delved all that deeply either.
