I have a bag of batteries that need to go to the tox drop, thanks for the reminder.

I labeled them "BAD-tteries," though. My daughter did not think this was very funny.

My box is labelled “AA Meeting”

If it elicits a groan, it's peak dad humor.

Ohm sorry to be the voice of resistance here, but I don't think this joke has much potential in its current state.

Gauss I walked into that one, but at least it's a coulomb!

("Cool one." I think I'm well past the point of reaching here.)

I think you’ve discharged all you can

I know someone with the surname "Ohm." I asked him if he would marry me, but he objected that he was already married and I was (at the time) in a committed relationship.

Don't know why you got downvoted. That's a neat and relevant anecdote.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

All good. I appreciate the honest feedback from whomever expressed their opinion. Hopefully I caused them no harm.

Thank you also for the positive response!

I was told you’re not supposed to dump your batteries into a bucket like that

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

Just cover the terminals of any 9V battery so they don’t short.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 hours ago

At least glass should not melt from the battery fluid, shouldn't it?

They should probably tape off the contacts to reduce the risk of forming a circuit, yeah.
