!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I even remember taking batteries from a smoke detector once. (lemmy.world)

Yeah, it’s the presence of the partner that complicates things. Likewise I would never let something leave the house without checking the batteries if it were only me.

It’s always fun when I come home and take out some garbage bags because she did a big cleaning, and then the damn garbage starts playing music or giggling at me.

Oh great, so now it’s a question of whether I leave it up to fate or dig through the garbage and go find my little screwdriver. Because for anybody not aware, kids toys typically have a screw to keep the battery compartment cover in place and kid proof.

Fortunately, I’ve only found alkalines the last couple’s times. But my son is 7 so the heat Alkaline Influx happened many moons ago.
