I’ve heard they are actually AAAA batteries which are slightly shorter.

Reply to comment by ingodwetryst in ELI5: Why do condoms have so many different types (invisible, extra safe, feel thin, etc). How do you know which one to pick? by [deleted]
That just sounds like a great way to have it slip off.

Reply to comment by dimonium_anonimo in eli5 What are phonons? (this is not a typo, I do not mean "photons") by PlesiothX
I don’t deal with sound waves but in my field phonons are absolutely a mathematical trick. With some materials, you need more than just a photon to produce the photo electric effect, you also need a phonon which is in this case, a quantized amount of momentum. Phonons are a virtual Particle and therefore aren’t really existing.

Is the danger from fall damage? I don’t see how you couldn’t just dig yourself out of the snow.
