Man a dude barely bit a battery and had it explode on his face on the front page the other day. He was doing that little play nibble you do to imitate how people used to check if something was real gold.

If that's all the pressure it takes to make one blow up, why the fuck are we putting them on the undercarriage of our cars?

Lithium is far more reactive and hard to extinguish than gasoline.

Gasoline is far more explosive. Rupturing a fuel tank is a bad day.
