      I did poke it and it spark a bit but it’s pretty anticlimactic, also what I noticed nowadays phone batteries only spark or smoke when poke, but back in olden days it actually burst into flames if you even fart near it

        🫡 Someone had to do it. You took one for the team. Fortunately the pillow didn’t release an angry fire tornado. Thank you for your service.

    I have a theory: if computer chips are just silicon with lightning trapped inside it, tricking it to think; then batteries are just miniature spicy steam engines that make the lightning. When they pop you can see the fire and steam pouring out and they no longer work.

    Batteries = steam technology

    Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I will now only take questions related to my research in phrenology or medical advancements with oral mercury.
