Hmm I think I vaguely remember that post; definitely wasn't referencing it in my comment though.

No worries, it happens lol.
Seagulls are known for stealing food and running (well, flying) off with it.
Wdym bait?
Like a seagull. :/
Ah yeah, for that definition of overheating you're entirely right; I'm pretty sure all modern CPUs throttle before reaching dangerous temperatures. I was considering overheating as reaching the temperatures where it has to throttle, since that's when you see the performance hit.
Alternatively, if you follow good backup practices, just grab the pepe folder from your latest backup. Nobody ever seems to do that though, at least until they experience their first major data loss.
I've never seen a laptop that won't overheat at full load and I'm not sure one even exists.
Laptops get a pass on overheating under load since they need to be compact, but your desktop should not be overheating even at full load. If it is, the only real solution is to upgrade its cooling system.
Fewer creeps here than on Reddit.
