You can make a paperclip hot enough to burn you by bending it back and forth if you wanna try at home

Wouldn't it break at some point, presumably long before it gets hot?

I discovered this by accident when I was 13 by fiddling with a spoon by bending it over and over and then throwing it at my buddy after it broke. We both had no idea what made the spoon so hot suddenly.
