    I hate all batteries that can't be replaced by a wired connection.

    Batteries are good and ok in things that have a good reason to have them. Other times, its pure laziness. I got a fish auto feeder so I can go away for a few days without starving my friends. Sucker requires 2 AAs. There are already 6 other wires, if they just let me plug in a USB C or micro or whatever, it could last forever. Instead, I gotta throw in 2 batteries.

    Or like why the hell does my garage opener use a button cell when a AA/AAA would take up like half a centimeter more, last probably 20x longer, and be MUCH easier to replace...

      It's the kind that goes in a watch, they're hard to keep track of and can fall out of devices.

      They're instant kid killers and it happens all the time. Never allow one into your house.

      ("Instant" in the sense that it takes a few hours but by the time you figure out something is wrong it's far too late)

        Apparently it's like four kids a year in the us. So, not all the time, but a threat to be well aware off.

          What if we all got cool radiowave watches and did communist operations with extreme precision with them?

    I don't get why people defend them, they aren't even that tasty and make my stomach hurt

    The only reason I like them is cuz I'm good at replaces them in car fobs and it makes me an asset at work.

    Good for powering smol things, when even a triple-A is too big
