A joke of course, please do not throw your car batteries into the ocean.

Just think, you might hit a sea turtle with it!

Then they’ve got to go to the doctor and you know they don’t have health insurance!

    How else would Styropyro get enough batteries for his 1000-kiloamp tungsten vapor atomizer? The “environmentally conscious” choice might prove to be a greater disruption to the ecology.

      Broken down cars can be sold for scrap value, why dump them in the sea? Especially if they’re models with sought-after parts that can be sold.

      Same with car batteries, they give you money for those things, why would anyone throw them?

        Because having them removed from a very rural community used to cost a lot more than you’d get for the scrap. We’re talking about cars that are thirty years old where every part is held together with ducttape and prayers. Cars where the breaks failed years ago and you’ve been relying on low gears and hills since then. There’s a hole in the floor of the passenger side and you don’t think it will get bigger but you tell passengers to use the back just in case. There are burn marks on the bonnet where your friend welded a folding chair to it as a joke and you’ve been bump starting it for the last few years because the battery is fucked. And you wouldn’t bother throwing it out but your back yard is already full of broken cars and you’ve already striped anything usable off it.

        Rural life is different

    What do you mean, do not throw away it into the ocean? Those electric eels need charging!
