@IceWolf Polaroid flash add-on. Someone forgot to remove the batteries and then left it in a box for 20 years
@wxcafe is that... did they like melt? *stares*
@wxcafe I had no idea batteries could /do/ that.
@IceWolf I mean they got so corroded they split, they didn’t go boom lol
@wxcafe I know this situation far too well. If we ever develop the technology to reach back in time and slap our past selves on the back of the head, I'm not going to know what hit me.
@mike I mean it wasn’t me in this case
@wxcafe if it was me, I'm sorry. I did it a lot.
@wxcafe cw horror
@wxcafe this also applies to lithium ion batteries ;_; pure pain when a battery has discharged beyond repair
Time for pliers and vinegar.
@drwho i threw the whole thing away, it wasn't worth salvaging (plus I'm pretty sure the contacts were dead on both sides, and probably the interior circuitery
@wxcafe what...
what was that originally anyway, and /what the fuck happened/?
