    besides they’re all internal lithium now anyway…

    So…you’re pissed about screws that don’t exist?

    Also, survival bias doesn’t mean something isn’t a hazard.

      The ones that aren’t internal still exist.

      Also, survival bias doesn’t mean something isn’t a hazard.

      Well in that case we should all carry magical rocks around our necks to prevent people from being attacked by bears

      See how that works the other way?

        No it doesn’t. One actually prevents a hazard. Do you know how many people argued “we never wore seatbelts and were just fine” when seatbelt laws were introduced? You’ll still find people today that think there’s no real issue riding in the back of a truck.

        Unlike your stupid attempt at a counter, real kids really died from actually swallowing batteries. It’s not a joke, or a myth, or fake magic, that screws prevent this from happening as easily. Just like seatbelts prevent people dying in car accidents as easily.

        If you want to make an argument for screws on remotes, I think a much better one is kids generally have free access to the damn remote equally as much as the toys.
