How many times can I recharge these until they explode? Are they allowed as cargo on a passenger airplane? Do I have to have my hazmat certification on file prior to shipping them? Can I build a tiny car powered by these and let Richard Hammond drive it without taking out a special insurance waiver? These are the important questions.
@fuzzmanmatt Full on power, no. To start a car, however …
Note that these being AAA, you will want to double the amount that Vlad used – provided you also double their recent engine build and do a 24 cylinder engine.
@richmondhokie My guess is yes, since dollar store stuff is notoriously trash. Kind of hard to say though, since we don’t know what brand your local dollar store carries.
@richmondhokie Are the ones local to you alkaline batteries, or the lower capacity carbon-zinc “heavy-duty” ones that are only good for low current devices like remote controls?
Lessee here, I make a substantial amount of my living with some audio recorders that cost a lot of money and run on AAA batteries. Should I use these in them, and not reliable brands that don’t leak? Hmmmmmm…
And you bought…
604 of these.
Midnight - 9:20am ET: 363 sold
Paused from 9:20am - 11am ET
11am - 12:11pm ET: 217 sold
Paused from 12:11pm - 4pm ET
4pm - 4:32pm ET: 24 sold to VMP members
Sold out at 4:32pm ET
Wait. Do the figures include both Meh and Morning Save combined? So from 11 a.m. to 12:11 p.m., the 217 that were sold were from both Morning Save and Meh? And then the 4-4:32 were from Meh?
@gertiestn morningsave daybreak showed the item on the morningsave site at 11. That is also when it restarts on meh. So I’m guessing the answer to your question is, maybe?

Do they come with a fridge to store them in?
@curtise
yes, but it’s battery powered and uses 72 AAA’s.
Due to the expert advice I got on Meh, my AAA batteries are still good. Yes, I am talking about batteries in the fidge.
@hchavers What’s a “fidge”? Well, other than an obsolete term for fidget. Based on the context I don’t think you meant it that way.
@hchavers @Trinityscrew Wait, did the electic fidget spinnes use AAs?

@fuzzmanmatt .25 times; absolutely not; yes; that will be between your engineering abilities and Mr. Hammond;
@fuzzmanmatt The answer to every one of these questions is 74.
@fuzzmanmatt @shahnm what the hell? Everyone knows the answer is 42. 74 is nonsense. Stop trying your buffer attack

My name isn’t Lucas so I guess I’ll pass.
@awk Cheer up, @awk! No need to off yourself over a silly name!
Nah, I’ll wait for the next sale, by which point I expect meh to actually pay us to take these from them
@Yoda_Daenerys It’s a sign that maybe you don’t need these after all.

So…I can get 104 at the Dollar Store for the same price…are these that much better?
@richmondhokie My guess is yes, since dollar store stuff is notoriously trash. Kind of hard to say though, since we don’t know what brand your local dollar store carries.

Will these power my 1978 “Merlin” handheld game from Parker Brothers?
@Bumplepimp no, Merlin, The Electronic Wizard from Parker Brothers requires 6 AA batteries (sold separately).

Looks like they didn’t have too many of these in stock.
@jandrese thank God…
@jandrese Or that the Morning Save crowd bought zillions. I guess we’ll never know.

Majority sold at the midnight offering.

“Majority sold at the midnight offering”= 12:01–9:20 am?
@gertiestn yes, that’s the midnight offering. Midnight until it pauses. Then it restarts at 11.
