    Youre not gonna find a good lamp that uses Double A. That genie screwed him from the get go! A real lamp uses 18650 batteries.

      I used to work on utilities. Omg a 18650 based lamp is by far amazing compared to standard disposal batteries.

      We need a /c/flashlights in lemmy to match the Rs

        I’ve actually never once seen 21700 batteries in use. All my headlamps, flashlights, devices, battery banks, portable 120v inverter battery bank… All use 18650.

          Sure, but 21700 is a superior format. It’s barely larger than 18650 but thanks to the square-cube law, the stored energy is significantly higher. 18650 is usually around 3500mAh, whereas 21700 is more like 5000mAh.

            Its not superior until its ubiquitous, trust me, im all for higher capacity that sounds awesome. (Minus what happens when they explode) but I’ve yet to see devices utilizing them. Also means I have to redesign my battery bank, cause 21700 sounds perfect for our battery backup/120v inverter.

    The lamp he is holding “sucks ass” because the genies ass is literally inside the lamp.

        That’s how the original genies acted though. They weren’t happy about their imprisonment so they fucked with the people who made wishes by deliberately misinterpreting them.

          It depends on the story. Some genies were evil and imprisoned to stop dicking around, and would screw over anyone who they offered wishes to. Some were nice and imprisoned by nefarious folks to extort wishes from them. These ones would usually monkey paw assholes but not kind folks.
