    It’s a short, the metal would heat up extremely fast and burn.

        Why would you spread incorrect information so confidently? You’re absolutely wrong. A 9 volt will get hot in a few seconds when shorted.

          I used to put small coins on the terminals til they got super hot, then drop the coin on the desk in front of them. When they go to pick it up, it burns them. Peak comedy.

        You can start a fire with a 9v battery and some steel wool.

        Put an AA battery in some aluminium foil, much can happen with even such a small battery

        I mean, someone with a septum piercing could confirm this pretty fast.

        Pretty sure it would be nice and toasty inside 30 seconds.
