It’s stuff like this that makes me think what will future generation think “what were they doing” like we are with this. I’m not talking about obvious stuff that people are divided on but something that’s commonly accepted as fact
People are going to look back at single use alkaline cells like we were insane. "You mean they had batteries that would destroy themselves after a single use? And they just threw them in the trash afterwards and kept buying new ones over and over? And they did this despite the fact that the technology for reusable batteries existed????"
Even now there are single use vapes and phone chargers out there. They're going to think we're even more insane for that, and rightfully so.
