I don’t know what this gif is about; blowing in cartridges was an NES thing, not an SNES thing.
Edit: you can downvote me, but I’ve owned a SNES since 1991 and have literally never felt the need to blow in a cartridge.
Edit 2: By the way, blowing into the cartridge never actually worked to begin with, even on the NES. It only seemed like a thing because of the North American NES’s shitty push-in-then-down cartridge loading mechanism. Not only did top-loading consoles like the SNES and Sega Genesis not have the cartridge connection problems that led people to think they needed to blow on it, the top-loading revised NES didn’t either!
My mind personally goes back to cartridges here. But yeah, load times on early disc games were atrocious.
Ah yes

Blowing on a cartridge was a cartridge thing. The idea being to blow dust off the connector pins, the console itself is irrelevant.
Of all the consoles I ever owned or played at other people’s houses, the NES was the only one anybody ever blew on.
My lived experience trumps anything you can try to claim. You lose; good day sir!
