    Honey, where did you put my sodium ion battery?

    On the kitchen counter so it can watch me cook dinner.

        The thumbnail and article show a sodium ion battery pack just randomly on the kitchen counter while a lady is cooking dinner.

        Kind of like those stupid Amazon pictures for wusjduejxxw power juicer Chinese knockoff version 4.2 showing it in a pool or some random place.

          They probably asked AI for a thumbnail, and since there was the word sodium, they decided to use the kitchen as a background.

          AI amazing as always
