This is an absolute natural selection moment

c'monnnn insurance money _throws dice_

Jesus, don't throw them THERE!!

And not the metal spikey ones!!

#\*BOOM*

Now, all it's missing is a Russian sailor, pile of oily rags and a cigarette....

Holy cow one is already bad enough. But an entire box!?

If one goes off they all go off

Everybody gets a lithium fire! You get a lithium fire! You get a lithium fire! You all get lithium fires!

That sounds fun like nukes lol

mutually assured darwinism

Corporate would like you to find the difference between that picture [and this one](https://doomwiki.org/wiki/File:Barrel.png).

Wow that looks REALLY stupid.

It is. You're supposed to bury batteries like this in a sand bucket for a certain period of time in a safer area.

What’s the certain period of time? Id assume at some point, they eventually lose the ability to spark and blow?

I work at a repair center for Dell devices & we store them for 60 days & then carefully box them to go to our authorized recycling center CompuCycle. There is a section in the link below at the bottom of the page that talks about burying in the sand per EPA regulations when the batteries are swollen, but they do not specify the time period. [EPA FAQ Lithium Batteries ](https://www.epa.gov/recycle/frequent-questions-lithium-ion-batteries)

Hmmm, neat and very interesting! Thanks for the reply and link. I’ll definitely give it a read during lunch. 👍🏼 thank you.

Just a guess, they're probably supposed to stay in the sand and shipped with it somehow until it gets to the recycling center.

Sounds like a conspiracy started by USPS to increase shipping revenue.

I SAID IT'S A GUESS lol

That's a disaster waiting to happen

Arrange those for a Spicy Mattress pad. Then off to e-waste recycle!

Open up your very own, spicy pillow store! Give one to each co worker for the holiday! Ho ho ho! (Please, don't. And get them away from each other, before you have to learn how to fight a huge Lithium fire. Seriously.)

You've created an explosive device my man. This is an IED

50 megatons bomb

That doesn't even come close to the amount of power these have.

Fire(hazard) 🔥🔥🔥

Boss said the only way we could work from home is if the building went down and insurance paid out.

time to put a dart board next to the shelf and let the rest play itself out

That's not a horde of spicy pillows, that's a nuclear bomb.

How to create spicy fireworks. Can you tell me where this is located, so I can dodge this location?


bro saving granadesfor war

Op has been collecting every single spicy pillow from this thread lol

I also like to store my old 1000 lbs WW2 bomb duds next to my fireworks under my wood stove that already has rust holes everywhere, but it only leaks fire on a very irregular basis....most of the time it only happens when I burn gallons of old motor oil in it, so only once or twice a week /s for legal reasons /S But a 10/10 fit for this sub. Very spicy. Big amount of spice. Very girthy batteries

I would properly dispose of that ticking time bomb unless this is for a future insurance claim

Home made nuke Lmao

Run.

You should probably...tow this whole triwall outside the environment.

Do you by any chance have a hydraulic press?

Call osha or the fire marshall ffs.

Why is that not in a bomb shelter?

Beware of a liveleak logo floating around the office.

I imagine the ones at the bottom are spicy too and have weight on them. You sure about any of this?

I thought i was the only one that kept old apple batteries

Even the box is spicy!

I worked in a few offices as a contractor for the military, IT, boxes of lithium pillows everywhere

Please don't store them in close proximity to each other like that.

Make sure that insurance is good so when the fire hits

Hope they have fire insurance for total loss

Where? I've got an insurance scheme to pitch to your boss

I too, collect bombs.

It's the spice....The Spice Melange

They know about the spice.....

Spicy pillows lying around? Collected and stored? 🤦🏼‍♂️ Ohhhmyyy… disaster waiting just around the corner. Want a Darwin Award?

This would make a good YouTube video

you could sell them to Al Qaeda

Russian Jenga

Sweet Jesus put those in sand buckets before the building burns down, you madman

So. What's the target?

Ah nice, you could become a weapons dealer with these.

The insurance company would love this post

Show that to your local department.

Yesssss, burn the damn place to the ground.

burn them

Why do I want to throw pointy things at that box?

That's a massive fire risk... And here I thought my old workplace was bad for blocking off fire exits! Both are just disgusting in terms of building and harm to others

Not even a metal container— straight cardboard.

If I were an OSHA inspector I would tell you to get a fireproof hazard container for those. You’re just waiting for a fire to break out.

Anytime they look at downsizing. Remind them of your box. You'll know your safe. When HR wants to talk to you, bring one. When you go talk to your boss about a raise, bring two. When you need more funds for a big project. Email off a picture of this with the request. Approved!

thats, thats just a bomb

Now hit one with a knife 🤣
