  I feel like it wouldn’t really be that hard to do. Just do the coily cable thing. It’s the same reason why springs are coils.

  Acid in your skin oils is breaking down the plasticizer in the insulation.

  Has happened before here, with more than just phone\usb cables.

  Those phone cables should be compatible as USB charging cables with some kind of adapter. Gives me an idea

  Take your usb cable, wrap it around something round of the size of curl you want and hit it with hot air, being careful not to melt it.

  You will achieve the springy tangly mess in the picture. Your cable will now be 2/3 or less of the straight length
