Battery Cannibalism

1. The act of borrowing fresh batteries from one working device to power that of another. 2. The act of swapping the good batteries from a working device with the dead batteries of another device in order to use the device that originally contained the dead batteries.

Most often practiced with AA or AAA batteries in remote controls. 9 volt battery cannibalism is extraordinarily cruel due to the expense and lack of extra 9 volt batteries in the home.

When Kyle swapped the good batteries from the living room TV remote with the dead ones from his bedroom remote, he was practicing Battery Cannibalism.

Masto Bro

Nerdy die hard fans/bloggers on the social media platform Mastodon. They will vehemently defend their overcomplicated echo chamber platform by pointing out how 'easy' it is to use with 27 paragraphs of instructions on finding the appropriate decentralized server. They will then be willing to commit Seppuku to prove their point with a masto post of the act including a content warning for food because there is a plate of spaghetti in the background next to their can of Mt. Dew Code red and dakimakura pillow on the bed.

When the Masto Bro saw a random Bluesky post about Mastodon, he went into a 27 post tirade on how it's better than every other platform.
