Good question that stumped me. I but Google and found that there is a B cell battery, but it's pretty much being phased out as need change. It was commonly used in old, tube type radios because it had a high voltage compared to the A, C, or D cell.

Today, battery needs have changed. Dramatically. They still make the B cells, but they are hard to find.they are mostly used in Europe, but even there, they will eventually phased out.

Hmm, that's interesting. I was actually just asking it to be funny. I didn't even realize there ever were B batteries. I just thought it was one of those weird things like parking on driveway and driving on a parkway.

IF I HAVE AN IMPONDERABLE QUESTION SHOULD I LET PROFESSOR RAPTOR ANSWER IT? | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Any question like those has pretty much, been answered, you just have to look. Even the driveway/parkway one. That falls under sematics, but I don't have instant access to the answer. I could Google it.

Years ago, I did a trivia colum because everyone was sending me these lists of "facts". I was going through one and got to thinking, cause there were a few that were bs and I knew it. Researched, and very few were I able to find correct.

Your question was great. Notice I said it stumped me. When someone does that, that's something. ;-) still, I have an addiction called curiosity. When an imponderable question is asked, I get curious. Had you not asked, I would have lived my life without checking.

This was a good meme. I notice that there aren't any other comments, but then, it's early. You are onto something, though. I usually answer these questions, anyway, but here's an idea. Before making these memes, check for the answer. Use this template I just slapped together, philosorator Q&A, to ask, and answer, the question. Put a link in the comments, but keep the answer in the meme short. Like your question, the professor would reply, "There still is a B cell battery, but it's being phased out".

I always recommend checking two or three independent articles and list links to them in the comments field.

Hey Swiggy, I got another question for you. When you create a gif, there is a box that you can check that says NSFW, but I see no such box when creating a meme. So in order to mark your meme as NSFW, how do you label it as such. In the title, tags or somewhere else?

That's a question that I've never had answered. I just put a tag NSFW on a meme, and that does it. It really doesn't matter,though, because the price fairies will mark almost anything NSFW.
