    You're not supposed to put batteries in the bin. So what the fuck are you supposed to do with them, shove them up your arse and hope they find their way to Narnia?

    Why can't you put them in the bin.
    Do they explode
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    I do know that I put several in my pocket to deliver to the pretty girl in Superdrug (the one with the confused expression) and when I put my hand in my pocket to get them out a couple of them were so damned hot that I burned my hand. Batteries of different flavours jiggling together do strange things....apparently.

    I'm sure there is a dirty joke in there somewhere

    I tried, and failed, to make one.
    There's an unfeasibly high innuendo count in there but I just can't seem to crack one off.

    Because the electrolyte solution is caustic in most batteries, hazardous waste disposal methods apply. It's typically potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sulfuric acid (H2SO4) depending on the battery.

    So each battery disposed of in a bin might dissolve some organic matter deep within a landfill site.
    This sounds srs.
