Those little numbs next to my electrical socket.
I swear they weren’t there a week ago (or maybe a month ago?)
For a long time I had my WiFi rouser plugged into this and occasionally I would charge my phone in the one socket while the router was charging in the other.
Was there like over heating cables behind my wall or something??
Lately ive noticed tiny orange sparks in the socket when I plug something into other outlets in my house. Google says blue sparks are normal orange sparks mean more heat.
Can anyone who knows shit about electricity speak to what this might mean?
Do I need to call an electrician??

Ben Franklin proved those sparks are electricity, so if this is supposed to be an electrical outlet, you are good.
If this is a water outlet, you are fucked.
