>but we know we can use batteries as an explosive
No we can't. An explosion requires a chemical reaction so fast, that it can burn all the fuel in a fraction of a second. You simply can't get a battery to burn all of it's content instantly like that. You can get lithium-ion batteries to burn quite fast, but even the most violent reaction will still take a couple of seconds to completely consume a battery. This is why technically you never actually have a battery explosion. You can probably compare it closer to a welding blowfire torch fire, which you still don't want to happen in your pocket or hands. If something suddenly started a welding torch to go off in someone's pants, I understand why they'd feel the need to call it an explosion, but it technically isn't.

>Sure an EV fire is destructive and can take WEEKs to put out
No. An EV lithium-ion fire will burn itself out in a matter of hours at most, though less than an hour is more likely. So "weeks" clearly isn't true.
If you somehow kept adding batteries to the fire, sure you can keep it going for weeks, if that's what you want.
As for putting out a lithium-ion battery fire in the classical sense of the word, it's basically impossible. You can't use water, and it's too hot to cool down with something like foam or CO2 extinguishers. You might have success if you literally bury the source of the fire in an mountain of sand. But that's not exactly easy to do. This is why the current tactic to deal with EV fires is to let it burn itself out.

>that energy can be utilized by a reaction quicker than a petrol cars explosion
But still not even close to quick enough to create a proper explosion. Just one very hot fire.

>which isnt including the other energy stored in a battery, which is often cited as 20-30x the amount the battery can hold for regular discharge
I don't know where you got this idea, but it's complete BS. A lithium-ion battery is usually considered fully charged at ~4.2V, and discharged at ~3V (here you can see a bit more variability). But the energy left bellow that 3V is actually very low. I don't think you can get even 1x the amount of energy available during the normal charge-discharge cycle. Voltage isn't everything. Amperage is a lot more important here. And the amount of amps a battery can still output below 3V is mediocre.
The majority of the energy in a battery IS the regular charge-discharge cycle. You can find charge curves for various battery chemistries around, every battery has a voltage underneath which the energy capacity it can hold drops exponentially fast. For example, for nickel rechargeables (and alkaline batteries), it's right below 1v.
I've attached one example I found for lithium-ion, but you can search for yourself for similar graphs.
So no, whatever battery you're thinking of isn't holding 1 ton of TNT in it. It's holding pretty much what is written on the label. And no, the energy inside an EV battery is DEFINITELY not more than the energy inside your Honda Civic fuel tank. It just has the potential to be released faster.

1) the pagers were deadly cause they put literal explosives (like C4) in them, not because of lithium batteries.
2) EVs CAN be compromised so that their batteries ignite, in fact China has EVs randomly burst into flames all the fricking time (btw, never buy a Chinese car). But unless the EV is parked directly next to a building, or something else, it will only burn itself out. You're not gonna get 1 EV to take out a city block, or half of it, or whatever, by exploding. Worst thing you can do, is park it very close to buildings, so that the fire spreads from the EV.
3) If you're thinking about compromising an EV with C4, I guess you could eventually put enough in it to blow up a city block. But by the time you carve out enough space in the car's guts for the C4, it's gonna be hard to miss that someone transformed your favorite Tesla into a bomb on wheels. The reason the pager thing worked in the first place, is because nobody even considered there could be room inside it for some extra C4, so nobody took the precaution to take one apart to look.

In this particular case, it's probably fake, for clickbait. A random guy just tried giving his baby BBQ, saw a funny reaction, decided it would be even more funny if he claimed the kid was vegan, posted it online, and waited for that sweet Twitter endorphins.

They have all the agency they need. It's people that say "they can't make choices on their own" that take away their accountability. When society, meaning each of us, decides to collectively tell women "fuck you, you're gonna pay for what you did", you're gonna see how fast women will become capable of making choices on their own.

Not with that attitude.

I have no sympathy for the women either. Don't get me wrong, the doctors who participated in this probably deserve a torturous life imprisonment. But the women who were so quick to do this to their bodies were warned plenty of times. And the people who tried to warn them, all they got was harassment and attacks of all forms.
There's a good reason why I'm against tattoos, weird piercings, and any other form of permanent body modification. Sooner or later, what used to look cool, will be ugly and lame, and you'll regret it.
