For the sake of argument, how dangerous is this actually? It doesn't look like there is any exposed wire, they're spread apart, and this is probably in a basement or somewhere out of the way. Other than tripping a breaker easily, is this bad?

This is how houses burn down and people die. Yes, it's bad.

Idk, I guess we need to let some rain water slip through the roof to find out

I was thinking rats, cats, skunks. They seem to always find a way to get under a house.

What's already been mentioned is the amount of wires. And the debate on if the load would trip the breaker. I argue the amount of DEGRADED wires is what makes this dangerous. The insulation clearly doesn't hold up and the amount of "fixes" should have condemned these wires long ago. This is a major fire hazard.
