minus-squareBonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 days agoI’m so curious why batteries.
minus-squareiAvicenna@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 days agoI think my moms logic on that is that batteries running out in time is a chemical reaction so cold should slow that down?
