Filament died of cringe 😔
after printing three Dick Butt in a row
Three Dick Butt? Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up!
Was it left open + maybe in a humid area? Brittle usually means wet filament.
I bought it before COVID but I opened the box just one week ago. It was wet (lots of stringing) but after a quick drying session it printed ok (photos coming soon). Then I put it back in my IKEA dry box
You didn’t dry it enough. You only dried the outside, the inside was still wet and brittle. Once you used up the dry stuff it broke.

Moisture.
Entropy?
Your bed needs leveling
Degradation over time?
The stress is from cooling the filament and then winding it around the spool. Lots of reasons why the plastic would weaken that stress might suddenly give way, but most of them involve time. If it wasn’t completely cooled internally before being spooled, that would dramatically increase the stress (think Prince Rupert’s drop).
Op says the roll is pre-Covid, so the time piece checks out.
Why is it on the ground?
