    A recent report from Stanford University in the US, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that recycling lithium-ion batteries is far more environmentally friendly than mining for new materials.

    Huh, who knew

    You can get lithium from the pharmacy if you act crazy enough. Farm fresh lithium too, not some old phone battery lithium.

      You don’t just suck on your old batteries?
      Fucking spoiled rich kids and their pharmacy grade lithium…

        Wait until they cut Medicaid. People are going to be gnawing on rechargeable AA batteries like it’s chewing tobacco. Maybe C or even D batteries if they need more OnlyFans subscriptions to make rent. It’s going to be like when N.O.R.E. found out Doja Cat was in racial chat rooms showing feet. People are going to find out their crazy but hot girlfriend ate whole car batteries for 8chan.

        This is the America Ted Cruz wants. Vote for me and I will make sure Doja Cat gets the purest lithium.

          Do you have lithium 9 volt blocks or do you only get your zinc and manganese from it?

          But it’s probably important to take care of all your nutritional needs and different 9 volt batteries could provide you with quite some of that.

          Clever thinking!

      There’s probably a lot that could be recovered from my urine. Fun fact when phosphorus was first discovered they had to boil off gallons of urine to get a useful amount, so they collected barrels of urine from mining camps.

      When refining a process, it becomes exponentially more difficult and expensive the closer you get to 100% efficiency. 0-95% costs less than 95-99%, which costs less than 99%-99.99%

        Unless you find/invent a new procedure that’s way more efficient instead of doing more cycles of known procedures.
