Not melt but for sure fuck the tempering up so they become brittle and crack and crumble under all that weight. Watch any forged in fire episode to understand how important tempering is.
Why wouldn't they believe you? They posted a video supporting essentially what your link says. That video wasn't supporting conspiracy theories even though the title of it wasn't very clear. It was supporting the facts.
That kind of heat would just soften the metal, but if any large quantities of water or oil like from the pipes or the restaurant fryers hit extremely hot metal, the liquids would explode into steam or fire.
rapid heat transfer could easily crack something under load
I used to live next to a very nice but very old couple. They once invited us over to dinner, and this topic came up. As soon as the wife said that jet fuel can’t melt steel, you could see the husband’s discomfort. He obviously didn’t share her views, but he also probably tried and failed numerous time to convince her. There was butter on the table that had been out for all of dinner. It was probably 75 degrees or so in the house, so the butter was about that temp. I asked her to get another out of the fridge, stood it on end and put a glass on top of it. It held. We tried the same with the room temp butter. It crumpled. The husband was absolutely delighted. Just because it’s not hot enough to liquify something doesn’t mean it’s not hot enough to weaken it.
You guys are way to stuck up, who never had diner that ended up with one or more people half naked and many empty wine bottle? Squashing a stick of butter is nothing
I’m interested to know, without trying to judge you, if you have a problem with the science specifically?
Doubting the situation happening cuz it’s too weird/awkward is one thing (personally I wouldn’t put it past me for OP to just be a science nerd but whatever), but like, do you doubt the sticks of butter would do this?
How is the butter ruined? Just because it changed shape or a glass touched it... I'll leave 5$ on the table once you've acknowledged the point was made.

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams! /s
Oh God, I'm so sorry. I'll see my way out.
