A paper attached to a street post with a picture of Lisa Simpson rocking back and forth. The text reads “Attention! Hi neighbor! Did you have a smoke alarm that kept beeping once every 60 seconds that you decided to throw in your yard out of annoyance? If so- it’s now annoying me! Because guess what? It’s beeping right outside my bedroom window! Every time it beeps a piece of my soul dies. Please get rid of it, I absolutely beg of you. It’s been a month.“


Im in Germany and haven’t had a leaking battery (except the ones that come with cheap chinese electronics). And I mostly buy the cheap batteries from the supermarket. I just don’t buy batteries, that weight nothing.
These have been both the included batteries (branded Kiddie, the detector brand), and Duracell, ostensibly one of the top 2 alkaline battery brands in the US. No Zinc or hollow junk batteries here.
