What happens here

With the batteries exposed, the user uses their fingers to manually twist each Duracell AAA battery within its slot. This action is often done in the hope that it will improve the electrical connection or somehow 'recharge' the batteries, despite scientific evidence to the contrary.

Goal: Attempt to restore power by twisting batteries.

What they say

Hide

All right, I know every guy does this. You go to turn something on, it doesn't work. So, you decide to check the batteries and you twist the batteries thinking that somehow it's going to give it more power or give it a better connection. I don't know what we're thinking, but the batteries are dead. Did it work one time when you were a little kid? You're going to think back like, "Oh, that worked one time." It didn't work.
