I got in an argument with some guy while we walked through my old middle school. We were arguing about whether or not his belt keeping his pants from falling off his ass counted as a deus ex machina. I argued that’s just what belts do but he was so insistent that his belt was special for doing regular belt things. I woke up really angry.

What is... Deus Ex Machina?
Deus ex machina refers to a scenario that seems impossible for the character to believably get themself out of. It's an unsolvable problem that suddenly gets solved by external forces that often don't seem very plausible.
This could be a situation where the author wrote themself into a corner and created a scenario that the character is not logically getting out of.
It can be a simple but implausible solution like a bomb is about to go off and a background character trips over a cable that diffuses the bomb. Or in its literal translation ("god out of the machine") it's a god-like intervention that suddenly fixes everything. Often used to save characters from their otherwise inevitable death.

Poseidon pulling a LITERAL Deus Ex Machina in episode 4 is probably the funniest way they could’ve solved the arch issue

If Arthur Aguefort yeeted and replaced a god then we can reasonably call his interventions Aguefort ex Machina.

My Writing Hot Take (Apparently)
I’ve gotten some hate for saying this before, but screw it, I’m arguing my case again; you can’t criticise a piece of media for its premise
An example I’ve always used for this is that you wouldn’t say something like “This zombie apocalypse movie has too many zombies” because, if there were no zombies, then the zombie apocalypse movie wouldn’t have zombies or an apocalypse; the movie wouldn’t even be in the same genre anymore, the whole plot would be entirely different, it would be unrecognisable as the story the creator wanted to tell
The reason I stated this originally was because I saw a lot of people saying that the show Miraculous Ladybug sucked because it always relied on a Deus ex Machina through Ladybug’s Lucky Charm power to save the day. And if you’ve seen my main account, you know that I’m more than happy to criticise Miraculous, but I also believe in giving credit where credit’s due, and this wasn’t an area where Miraculous got it wrong
My argument was that, because the entire point of the Lucky Charm power is to create a solution to every problem, and the magical power of creation is a key component to the lore and premise of the show with creation and destruction being in balance to maintain the order of the universe, you can’t really criticise the power of Deus ex Machina for being a Deus ex Machina. In fact, if you count the magical earrings as a machine, Ladybug’s Lucky Charm power quite literally is a god from the machine (Tikki from inside the earrings) giving Ladybug the power to fight - the god in question is a main character actively assisting in the battle!
According to the comments I got the last time I argued this take, no form of writing should be immune to criticism and even concepts can be subject to ridicule. But at that point, if you don’t like Deus ex Machinas, why are you watching a show where the main character’s superpower is a Deus ex Machina, only to complain that she uses Deus ex Machinas? If you don’t like zombie apocalypse movies, why are you watching a zombie apocalypse movie, only to complain that there are too many zombies?
You’re allowed to criticise the execution of the premise, of course, but if you don’t like the premise itself, maybe it’s time to consider consuming different media rather than hating on someone because you have different preferences
