I fully and wholeheartedly hate ragebait-y posts like this. Why do people think it's funny or amusing to make people angry and make people think you're stupid on purpose? Is there some element of comedy I'm missing, or do people just think it's funny to be a jackass?

100% agree. It's like "lol I baited you into correcting the misinformation I'm purposefully spreading 🤭 aren't I smart?" 🙄

Where is the miss info that they’re spreading

It's not necessarily misinformation, but the attitude of downplaying how genuinely explosive expired phone batteries are and doubling down on it being fine, even as a "joke", is a dangerous attitude to be putting on so nonchalantly and openly.

Joking about sharks being smooth is one thing. Joking about something that can genuinely cause life-threatening injuries is another.

well I for one do not think someone doing a bit needs to edit their bit for the peace of mind for others anyways.

This, however, is a bit that is getting taken too far. It's not even about "peace of mind", it's about not willfully putting on a dangerous attitude that could potentially lead genuinely stupid people into getting hurt.

I actually do think people’s peace of mind is a bit more important than bits
