I have a friend who is a chef. I've seen him reach into a fryer with bare hands and pull things out. The dude has somehow become immune to heat. This must be the case. You solder so much that you can become the Iron yourself.
Note: Friend had two prosthetic hands.
years ago when I worked in a kitchen, there was this old lady, Ruth, who worked the fry station - she had hands like iron, could pick up things that came right out of the hot fat - fries, chicken tenders, shrimp, etc - decades of working with boiling oil gave her an almost superpower.
That looks like a voltmeter probe to me, too thin to be a soldering iron I think.
Soldering tools get pretty small!
The one in the original picture still looks like a voltmeter probe, it has a rubber shaft all the way down until the last several mm, whereas the one in your picture has a much longer metal shaft before the tip as expected.
Okay, but then explain the solder sponge, the roll of solder, the solder sucker, and last but most importantly, the solder being held to the joint withe other hand
I think they're intentionally poking fun at the trope.

I have to believe that this has gone far enough on the internet that people are doing it intentionally at this point.
This sub is hilarious
