Truly a mercy to the neglected tomagochi.

We’re in trouble. There are three of those already in my house; they’re spread by seven year olds
It appears that explosive batteries are a thing. Name a battery powered device.
vibrator…
Fire in the hole!
(Credibly speaking, those weren’t battery explosions)
Ya know that for sure? I don’t mean some lithium chemistry. The simpler solution is obviously to use a traditional chemistry. I’ve been speculating recently that it is likely possible to make a single use battery from an explosive. A battery is just exploiting oxidation like reactions with the galvanic potential of metals. Explosives are basically unstable stuff with lots of potential combined with a rapid oxidiser. The two uses have quite a lot in common. I bet there is a bunch of untapped potential in this space where little research is done in the public sphere.
I suspect explosions from battery chemistry would be too slow compared to what was seen with these pagers, and power derived from an explosive compound that would be this deadly with such a small footprint wouldn’t be good for a pager (and probably not effectively rechargeable at least). Not to say if they wanted to hide things, they could install a smaller battery with the rest of the volume made up by some form of plastic explosive. I just don’t think there’s a battery chemistry in use right now that will both generate a suitable amount of power and also go from stable to boom in the speeds we saw with this attack.
I find it far more likely they had a small amount of plastic explosive (perhaps hidden as part of the battery).
But who knows in reality? Well except Mossad :P
The trick is that explosives react to form pretty much exclusively gasses. That’s where the boom comes from - suddenly you have gasses at the density of a solid, and clearly that corresponds to a lot of pressure by PV=nRT, as well as just common sense about how heavy gas normally is. Batteries tend to be full of stuff that doesn’t like to be gas, so you get more of a firey, sparky effect than “poof”.
The explosions pictured look very clean, and at this point it has pretty much come out how they made booby trapped devices seem like a legit product that Hezbollah should buy.
Batteries don’t explode, they burn.
But actual explosives were planted in the mentioned devices.
There’s emerging evidence that it wasn’t explosives and might have been the battery. And there’s certainly been reports of exploding batteries injuring people to similar degrees.
Regardless I think this is going to effect western made electronics sales and be an attack methodology that’s leaked and used against Americans forcing them to actually pay attention to Israel.
those could’ve been a few grams of c4 that revives help from the battery.

Oh God

Is this the version of Islam the Taliban are going off of?
Not sure, but it might be the version of Islam the Taliban are getting off with
Nah, not enough goats and prepubescent boys.
(Okay, to be totally fair the second one was our allies moreso. The Taliban may be cruel, weird incels but I guess even they have standards)

Microwave ovens. Pizza pockets are haram now.
“All I said was, ‘this pizza pocket is good enough for Allah!’.”
“There! You see?! He said it again. Blasphemer!”
If only they didn’t dress so seductively, they could be spared the wrath of Allah.
That crunchy outer layer, with the “Italian spice” blend. They practically ask to be eaten with your DnD group, getting grease on everything.

Birds aren’t real
well, they won’t be, after they explode.
They are real and have been manufactured by the CIA: https://www.cia.gov/legacy/museum/artifact/pigeon-camera/

The last time my pager blew up was before the Y2K.
They’ve done pagers, radios, and cellphones.
Drones that flap like a bird exist, one being used as a suicide drone wouldn’t surprise me at all.
You guys won’t be laughing when nobody buys iPhones anymore and your 401ks tank.
jokes on you, my 401k IS a tank

Beans aren’t real!
BEANS!
Half expected this to be a loss meme
I’d guess biological, but they already trashed the clean water so we crossed that bridge. Ovens. Ovens are the next logical step for psychopaths like the extremist Israeli government.
This is boring and facile Holocaust comparison/fantasizing. Reel it in or move on. First warning.
Cock rings and vibrators are my dark horse bet
