What is this?

It may be one of the things that keeps pipes from freezing in the winter. Or if it gets really really hot, a foam cutter. But I doubt that.

Maybe a heating element from an electric blanket?

It's a electric heating strip. Wrap it around a cone that's placed in a sock and made an electric penis warmer for those cold winter nights.

Heated noose.
Keeps your neck warm and comfy while you dangle from the ceiling outlet.

Really though, just a strip off a heater, guess you could go with >>1082468 but you might want to look into what that anon did with the testicle heaters.

The most important thing is what temp it reaches. If it hits 180, it's useless for most things on your body. If it reaches 130, you're good to go.

If it does reach higher temps, I'm thinking a kotatsu or whatever. If it's lower temps, a heated toilet seat. Maybe a warming door mat? Or a clothes warmer for your clothes drawers. Set it on a timer for 7-8am and you have an invention.

Old radios had an asbestos covering over some kind of resistive wire to drop the voltage for the tubes, in order to save money. What did this come from?
