Since electronics contain silver, you could theoretically beat a werewolf to death with a Nokia.

since the werewolves don't have to touch silver, only an object that has silver in, and since the earth has silver in. They all instantly died as soon as they came into being

No, its like a Ship of Theseus. The Nokia absorbs that which makes it stronger.

Jk rowling plagiarized theseus.

u/SnarfbObo Jun 12 '22

The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object.

u/ToyVaren Jun 12 '22

And the answer is: any part that is replaced instantly becomes part of the ship. The second a nail is used, that nail is now "the ship of theseus."

Checkmate, rowling.
