I purchased a calculator today and this was in the box. We are living in the clown timeline and it's not even funny.
I am an authorized nigger, AMA.
>>102019295the fact they went out of their way to>avoid swallowing it by accidenttells you some retard out there swallowed it on (((accident)))
Accidentally eat just one battery and ask for a new one and they think it's funny so they add those warnings to mock you.
>>102019325Americans do this and then sue companies.
>>102019295Hmm, that's weird.Let's see the battery.
Now I really want the backstory on the nigger that accidentally swallowed a calculator battery.
>>102019368i assume somehow a toddler got into it... weird
>>102019348>>102019381How though? It's held together with six screws and they all have loctite.
>>102019423It probably wasn't that specific product but something that company made with a battery got swallowed once and now they put that on everything they make
would be neat if usa actually wrote into law that if you include a battery in something, and someone swallows it they cant actually sue you for damages because they didnt write "dont swallow this battery" on the box
>>102019423>>102019510Obviously it wouldn't be a toddler opening the calculator accidentally, since the warning is about changing the battery, not leaving the calculator around children. I guess someone left the battery lying around and their kid ate it.
>>102019537No fuck you. Give me clear instructions or I'll sue you to oblivion
>>102019423looks tasty and reinvigorating, would eat
>>102019295Idk telling me not to eat it makes me want to eat it.
>>102019295>>102019423I remember charging small battery in my mutant turtles wrist watch when I was 5. Only negative IQ would eat it.
>>102019556yeah its actually scarily common, battery changed, left lying around, kid eats it.its not just a choking hazard it actually immediately causes burns from inside outhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-60306335>"Doctors explained they didn't know where the bleeding coming from and that his blood was acidic.">Tests later showed that a hole the size of a 5p coin had been burned in his heart happens a couple of times a year. probably became worse after the recycling push, people are conditioned now not to put battery in general waste dustbin
>>102019381You don't have toddlers.>Replace battery yourself>Toddler bites your angle>Cry in pain>The battery flies to floor>Toddler bites the battery>Rush hospital or the digestive system is gone>The child protective services gives you no more warnings and the kid is taken to liberal family>After a while they diagnose wrong sex disorder and start giving opposite hormonesGive these tasks to local tinker guys. They need to eat too.
>>102021172>They need to eat too.So they're going to eat the battery when my kid could have had that meal instead? What a rip off.
>buy superior nipponese CR2032s>standard blister, just works>buy durasmells in a hurry>layers of plastic difficult to rip open, needs a cutter>sticker on side that needs to be removedThanks burgers
>>102019295>not using a TI84Shiggy
>>102021519TI84 is on the banned calculator list for this class.
>>102019423Well? What does it taste like?
>>102020878Same, but with my tamagotchisThe world is being warped to accomodate browns
>i-is that a small part? oh boy, time to self harm and sue! we'll be able to afford healthcare, betty!
>>102019295>America! Fuck yeah!
>>102022511I don't know, I'm not a toddler or a nigger.
>>102019295Some kid must've swallowed the battery while bored in class, and the parent tried to sue or something>>102022794>Poisonouse if eaten>Do not burnI can see bored soldiers trying to do this shit and having to be airlifted to an hospital
>>102023960>I can see bored soldiers trying to do this shit and having to be airlifted to an hospitalan indictment on our military system that this behavior isn't corrected>CAPTCHA: GRJG0Yheh
if they don't want me eating the heat coin they shouldn't make it so tasty
>>102019423>blob circuitAbsolutely disgusting
>>102024297>keeps the heat in the bag.what retard thought of this and then had a consortium of retards approve it.nevermind. I was just reminded that there are a lot of people who during winter leave their apartment heating on even when they leave someplace, because they believe, and i quote>its takes more energy to reheat the apartment when i return home, than it takes to keep it at that temperature throughout the day. i am sciencing.so nevermind, people are retarded.
>>102024508While it's retarded, I can kinda see why they'd think that. If you heat the house up too much, then let it cool down, unless your house is extremely well insulated you're probably using more energy than if you're heating it up just enough and re-heating it more frequently to a lower level. But, having said that, if you set your boiler to a lower maximum temperature, right at the boundary where it's just enough for it to reach what the thermostat is set to (or just under), it will be on all day long trying to meet the temperature demand and will probably use more energy again. It's not all straight-forward.
>>102024746anon, no one is going to overshoot heating, almost every house and definitely every radiator has a thermostat
>>102019423PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH
>>102024991If you're on a gas boiler, it depends on how low the temperature can drop before the boiler kicks in again (the tolerances), as well as the maximum temperature the boiler itself is set to. You can set the thermostat to the same temperature in both cases, but if you set the boiler to 80C, it will, in the majority of cases, use more energy than if it's set to 45C, despite kicking in less frequently.
guys I think the text on the sticker might be a joke
>>102019335What kind of (((Americans)))?
>>102019314How can I become one too? Do I have to pass a formal test to prove my melanin levels?
>>102019423Dad takes calculator battery out to test it on multimeter. Goes off to do some work, leaving battery on desk, toddler climbs up on his desk chair sees the battery and eats it.
>>102024378I agree. Absolutely SOVLESS. I'm going to start harassing people
>>102023960>I can see bored soldiers trying to do this shit and having to be airlifted to an hospitalhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Battalion_(World_War_I)I guess it's a good thing it's been too long, most people cannot imagine it anymore.Or is it.Oh boy.
>>102027666Relieving women of their child-rearing duties was a mistake
>>102024297>>102019295Same concept. If you are so retarded that you eat chicken nuggets out of a plastic bag or need a calculator to do math you could just do in your head then you DO need a warning not to eat the shiny thing.
>>102019295>you will own nothing and return to authorized dealer in order to be happy
>>102022712The most logical explanation
>>102019295>he doesn't swallow the old battery when putting a new battery into his electronic deviceHow the hell are you still alive with such mineral deficiencies? If you're not swallowing little batteries like pills, where are you getting all of those essential metals?
>>102027666Aha, then engineer dad doubts God, rejects salvation, and loses his soul to you; you're so good at your job, Satan!
>>102022794>somewhere in the middle east some american soldier or marine literally made an actual claymore sandwich by placing such an anti-personnel landmine between two slices of bread
>>102019423When I was about 5-6 I learned how to use a screwdriver and proceeded to open up all of my toy cars and whatever else got in my way. I didn't swallow any small pieces because I was raised right but it's a possibility.
>>102023960Burning explosives was a thing in the military.It doesn't go boom, it's just a great fuel source.If you're in Vietnam in the raining season it might be the only thing to heat your field ration.
>>102024508You have never lived in a house and it shows.If you heat and let freeze over and over, your whole shit will crack up and your second floor bed will bend you on your living room couch one day.
>>102027644The average ones
>>102019314What's better, KFC or Church's chicken? And why do you fuckers only drink grape Kool aid?
>>102029737>mom teaches me how to use a screwdriver at 6>fuck up all my chink toyskinda fucked up that some adults don't know how to use screwdrivers
>>102029737Same. I'd take everything apart I could get my hands on.
>>102019423oh shit nigger what are you doing you better put that s hit back together before it blows it's load down your throat
>>102019381Anon, the correct term is nigglet.
>>102029737Anon, niggers are too stupid, too fucking retarded to understand they shouldn't eat that shit. Unfortunately dumbass morons in government decided to give human rights to those things.
>>102019295Next time buy a quality stack-register machine from SwissMicros, shipped from Switzerland. I am ethralled with the DM42, an excellent specimen!(Picrel is the DM41L, also excellent.)
>>102029451Why don't you just season your food with ground up rocks taken from a mine like a normal person?
>>102029933Based digits, chkd>>102031868But can you play doom on it?
>>102029933Churches or Popeyes. KFC is for suburban wannabes.
>>102029957A lot of people don't have the dexterity or thumb strength for it. A LOT, I was surprised how many, being older, I'm no longer surprised by much.
>>102019295I eat as many batteries as I want
What's the problem? Calculators are for toddlers.
>>102019295why are americans like this?
>>102019295>>102019368>>102019423>>102021018I do not know how to feel about this.I can not believe this actually happens, it's so insane and retarded.When did it all go so wrong?
>>102034902our world has become increasingly full of things/doodads/widgets. some parts of these things can be hazardous if used in the wrong way.there's a lot of fucking stupid people in the world, including stupid people with kids. stupid people are careless and don't child-proof things. kid ingests thing and nearly dies/dies.stupid people see thing that caused it. stupid people are emotionally vulnerable. lawyers know this and tell stupid people it's company's fault.local news that only cares about ratings and advertisers hears about stupid people and plasters them all over the news. local issue of stupid people having their kid dying spreads across country. other stupid people like stupid parents get mad at company too.big lawsuit against company. stupid people contact government. government make company do thing so that stupid people will hopefully not do bad thing in future.so as you see it's just a giant chain of events. can't really point fingers at any one thing. well...you can: it's stupid people. but pointing the finger at them and expecting something to be done about them is not a good path for society to head down.
>>102022511try it yourself, just don't swallow
>>102033583>But can you play doom on it?Do they look like TIs to you? How dare you passively besmirch the legacy of HP's stack-register machines! These devices are not for you if gaming is your priority.
>>102019368Its because in a bunch of places they're no longer legal to sell products with replaceable cell batteries. So Casio can't advertise the battery as being user replaceable and have to do this to avoid a fine/ stores refusing to stock them and clear old stock.I somewhat recently picked up a bunch of little LED lights powered by cell batteries form Kmart for almost free because they had to get rid of them.
>>102019295>to avoid swallowingJust tape your mouth before replacing the battery, easy.
>>102035968>swallows the tape
>>102027833>under the belief that French forces were supporting their left flankrookie error
>>102020878>my mutant turtles wrist watchplease tell me you still have it
>>102022794Eating C4 to get sick was a common method to get out of Vietnam
>>102019423did you muzzle your mouth before attempting to open it?
>>102024508it's fake dummy
>>102029957Think of the accessibility orientated products we have nowadays and how people still struggle.
