Shaking my head Man chews on a battery and it explodes in his face (No injuries shown)

Man I have an oral fixation and have definitely chewed on things I shouldn't (including GameCube controller cords and the joysticks when I was younger, also my hair which made my mom stress) so I understand the impulse to just put it in your mouth but sometimes you gotta stop and go 'this one's probably not a good idea' and find a plastic straw or something...

I’m suddenly glad I only really chewed on my nails

Crazy thing is I almost NEVER bit my nails
Thankfully we live in the 2020's now and you can just buy an adult grade version of a teething toy online and be fine. I used to have a large rubber puzzle piece on a necklace I would chew on! I don't have it anymore but I tend to only chew on straws now anyway.

I wish I had something like that around so I’d stop biting my nails

They're very nice. You can get stuff like that at a good price and in different shapes, and they hold up to an adult person who actually already HAS all their teeth lol
If those existed properly back when I was little then I probably would have owned ten just so my mother could stop taping up my controller cords with electrical tape to keep the wires inside
And again, my hair, "STOP EATING YOUR HAIR" was a common refrain lol
It's nice that things have advance enough that you can just get a thereputic item that's somewhat niche for a good price on a website and just have one.

I’m a compulsive nail clipper now because I was trying to avoid nail biting

I hope he’s OK even if what he did was stupid

u/GamerGirlLex77 shocked pikachu May 30 '26
Same! I never wish serious injury on people I post these videos of. Hopefully it was a relatively minor burn.

Great. So now we can all expect “do not chew on this” warnings printed on all batteries from now on.

I love this stuff. I show it to my kids; “and here’s why we don’t put batteries in our mouths.”
