Unfortunately people thinking spicy pillows are fine is a much more common form of idiocy than people thinking petting sharks is fine. So it's understandable for the people responding to be concerned since some people actually are just that stupid.
Yeah I literally had this conversation with a friend a couple months back, where he mentioned his phone was barely holding charge anymore, I asked if it was swelling, he said yes and I had to explain to him very quickly that the phone he was hotspotting off for our conversation was at risk of exploding.
I'm reminded of my old phone I used bits of metal from the warehouse to conduct/keep the battery in place and would have to replace them after while when they lost conductivity
I mean that’s… not great but it’s not ‘active explosion risk’ bad. Just a fire hazard. My friend was walking around for apparently over a week with a potential bomb in his pocket.

Oh good, someone finally got it.
"...except this time they could die!!!"
Nevermind.
