I owned a car with cigarette lighters in it. I still didn't know what this was until I read the comments. Its actually a bad angle when you consider that usually you only looked at that thing at that angle if you were actively using it for its intended purpose. And most of the smokers I know felt it was easier to us a lighter because lighters lit easier that the ones in your car. And that's not even to mention that a lot of people don't smoke in the car.
Basically how this works is you'd push it in and hold, and electricity running through it would cause it to heat up. This is why the hole is used to charge GPS and the sort
Years ago (I was maybe ten), my sisters and I were bored, waiting for our dad to be done with work. We had to wait in the car. I pushed that thing in and it popped out red-hot. I became 100% convinced I could touch it quickly enough to avoid getting burned. Sadly, I was super wrong.

I screamed and handed the evil thing off to my youngest sister who immediately decided to try. The only smart one in our group, the middle sister, only had time to yell NOOO before the attempt.

I was still reeling in pain and both my sisters were freaking out a minute later when I decided to test it to see if it was cool. I'm usually a smart human, but this day was not a good day. My sane sister tried to grab it out of my hands while yelling NooOOooOO as I put my SAME FINGER onto the coil. Let me tell you, burning a recently burned finger is way more painful than you'd think. My dad came rushing to the car with two hysterical kids and one sister who had hidden the cigarette lighter from us.

Like I said...it’s for kids to burn their fingers.
Cigarette lighter. I'm only 21, but me and my grandpa used to use it to light cigars when I was 17. Not the best influence, my grandpa, but a damn good man, and a better father than my biological one.
It's the delayed self destruct found in most cars until the late nineties. Basically if your car is a POS you push this, wait about a minute and it'll pop out and set fire to the backseat.

I suppose google was wrong then, or at least the comments on the original post on reddit. Or maybe it was a person who knew full well what it was and was tricking the young kids? I dunno, anyway my apologies
