Pictures created by people who knew full well how they could be interpreted. For pictures to fit in here there needs to be an element of plausible deniability, although it can be a tenuous one...

Two C batteries? That thing is a beast.

Nah, things were much less energy efficient back then.

I actually wish more devices used C and D batteries as those last longer.

I especially hate when a device uses AAA batteries when AA would easily fit.

My stylus uses AAAA batteries which was the same exact sound I made when AAAs didn’t fit inside.

Also fun fact inside of a 9V is a bunch of AAAAs you can pop out because who the fuck keeps AAAAs on hand

What?? I refuse to believe the blocky 9V is just a few AAAAs in a trenchcoat.

Well, it is. 6 cells of 1.5 V each, wired in series. That’s also why the 9 V block has both poles on the same side.

Last few I've pulled apart contained a stack of 6 oblong, coin shaped batteries. Disappoint.
