What’s a tery?

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S,

Electric current is actually carried by a bunch of microscopic bats. A battery contains thousands of these microscopic bats. A tery is a former battery that has been depleted of its bats i.e. a dead battery.

Batteries are extremely dangerous because bats are known to carry rabies. Additionally, Harry Nyquist et. al. figured out on April 20th, 1969 that batteries with rabid bats can deliver more energy than batteries with healthy bats, so they are more dangerous now than they used to be. The bats are so rabid in home power systems that the rabies can kill you instantly if the bats get to you.

As a result, batteries may only be used in devices that cover the batteries in a protective case. Additionally, the protective cover helps shield the bats’ echolocation from loud noises from outside the case so that current doesn’t get lost. Actually, this effect is why telephones sound so distinct: the current-carrying bats are getting lost as they fly towards the speaker because their echolocation is being disturbed by your voice.

/joke.

lugal,

Most cars have a tery but what is it called in the batmobile?

Is that a fucking bet?

That’s funny because it was kind of an old joke made in Brazilian Portuguese and I’ve been seeing a lot lately. I wonder if a fellow Brazilian translated the joke.

yum,

Damn these brazilians are everywhere

sangriaferret,

Well, there are a brazillion of them.

yum, (edited )

Ba dum ts

Kase,

Probably a stupid question, but did they have to change the original joke for it to translate into English? I don’t know any Portuguese, just curious if the play on “battery” works in both languages

danteog,

It does, bateria is battery in portuguese

Kase,

Neat, thanks!

Is this sponsored by the British or conservatives? I’m getting mixed signals here.

My theory is that cats domesticated us to serve them and once we were docile enough to be trusted they became lazy, but we got the last laugh, they didn’t predict our obsession with dressing them up in ridiculous but cute as fuck costumes just to make other humans go awww.

Is this the same plan that made homelessness illegal?

That’s very ambiguous wording. Are they going to have cut all existing homeless people in half by that date, or legislate homeless people must be cut in half by that date?

InternetPeon,

Yes.

This joke always bugs me because it’s a spoken conversation in the context of the joke. He would say “what’s an Ery?”

danteog,

I also think this joke doesn’t work very well when spoken, but it is what it is

You have to imagine Robin has a Japanese accents so he pronounces the double consonants: bat-tery.

But why doesn’t the biggest one just simply eat the smaller ones?

Yes, observing nature and letting it do its thing is exciting.

Seems a little extreme to me. Surely, there most be more humane solutions.

werefreeatlast, in How's this plan progressing?

I wasn’t gonna pay this month’s rent but fuck that. I just had to apply at the cheap porn studio for fluffer and the rest is history. Cuz I don’t want the government to cut me in half. Sure it feels like being cut in half sometimes but it pays the bills.
