Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?

These changes are not linear with extension cords, as the gauge variance is less than changes in length. 100% longer doesn’t mean 100% thicker. Also the heat does not just occur in the wire. Whatever is at the end of that cord has to work harder due to the voltage drop, and harder means hotter.
